Travel Tips from people who've been to Shimoda
  0183Beautiful city about 3 hours by train from Yokosuka. Hard to change money though, no atms work with our cards, but the hotels will exchange dollars for yen. Lots of great places to eat and shrines and temples to see, and the Black Ship Festival every year is a treat. The people are friendly, and as elsewhere in Japan, if you get lost, they will help yuo find your way. Good tip? (0)  0123The only time to really go to Shimoda and see it for what it is, is during the Black Ship Festival. That is when the city pulls out all the stops and everything is grand. From mocci pounding to fireworks to the traditional drum players, it is definitely a sight to behold. Good tip? (0) Ask a travel question about Shimoda
