The fishing port of Heda on the west coast of Izu peninsula south of Mt Fuji is protected by a sand bar that has been growing due to a northbound sea current. It is covered with a pine forest, in the middle of which there is a Shinto shrine with red torii (gate). To the right you see Mt Fuji through the open channel. We visited it during my most recent century ride:



The second half of the century ride was after dark which means it was kind of chilly. But it was a Full Moon night and the wintry snow cap of Mt Fuji beautifully reflected the moonlight. Here you see the main part of Honshu across Suruga bay from the peninsula, with the city lights of Numazu and Mt Fuji behind it. The night shot mode of the Google Pixel 3 even picked up some stars.
