"The plaza sell a lot of things. And if you tired of driving can stop by there for a quick rest and take a snack like “大福”.
We bought 4 different flavours of it
1. Strawberry 🍓
2. Banana 🍌
3. Peach 🍑
4. Melon 🍈
Not that tasty for me and not that unacceptable.
Still ok if you would like to try. May try the common one. Strawberry 🍓"

"Definitely stop in this parking area named only in Japanese but called “Strawberry Plaza” in English if you are driving near Mishima and down to other parts of Izu Peninsula or visa versa. The strawberry and wasabi and other innovative gifts or variety of things to eat, excellent! Of course try some soft ice cream, or the strawberry daifuku with fresh strawberries wrapped in omochi, delicious! Otherwise, have you ever tried wasabi infused deep fried croquettes? Indeed, they have them! Delicious and unique! Must try!"
