# Suruga Bay

A little of each town’s story　/　Numazu, Shizuoka

Japan's deepest bay, reaching 2,500 meters at its deepest point. The Suruga Trough, the boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, runs through the bay. The blue deep sea pudding takes its motif from these depths.

## This moment in the journey: Mt. Fuji at dusk

At dusk the sky turned pink, and Mt. Fuji and Awashima stood out like shadow puppets. Rows of small floats dotted the water. When the sun went down, the windows of the old house glowed with light.
