First day
15:00
"Spending time just for myself" With that goal in mind, I set out on a solo trip to Ochiairou, a hot spring inn in Izu, which is rich in nature. There is a pick-up service by car from Shuzenji Station, so you can get there smoothly.

As you pass through the curtain, you will be overwhelmed by the stately entrance. In contrast to the solemn appearance, the staff's warm smiles gradually ease your tension.

First, relax in your room for a while. Sitting on the quiet, wide veranda and looking out at the garden, try carefully brewing a cup of coffee using the coffee set provided. ``Please enjoy the luxury of taking time and effort.'' Those words make my heart flutter.

After enjoying the room, go for a walk in the hotel. When you enter the retro-style reading room, you will find a collection of books by great writers from the Showa era. Yasunari Kawabata, who painted this land of IzuPick up "Izu no Odoriko" and read it for the first time in a long time.

Before dinner, go to the large public bath "Tsuki no Yu". Enter the tea room motif sauna, which has become a hot topic among sauna enthusiasts, and enjoy the scent of wood and self-roasting. The cold water bath that flows under the sauna seems to use river water, and it cools down your flushed body comfortably.

Dinner is made with plenty of ingredients from Izu's mountains and the sea, and the beautiful presentation of the food has my expectations high even before I taste it. All of our wide variety of drinks go well with your meal and enhance the taste even more.

After dinner, go back to the indoor bath of Tsuki no Yu. While gazing at the moon through the window, give yourself over to the free-flowing hot springs for a while. The unique sulfate springs of Amagi Yugashima have a pleasant hot water feel, and your body will be loosened from the core.

Since I wasn't very hungry, I decided to have breakfast in my room. The umami of the fresh ingredients and the gentle taste of the soup made with freshly harvested vegetables permeate your body.

Take a cultural heritage tour. The lavish decorations and craftsmanship still retain the appearance of the time, and you can feel the love that the people of the inn have poured into the building and the history that Ochiairo has built up.
11:00
Before checking out, have another cup of coffee in the lounge. It's a pity to leave, so I promise myself that next time I'll definitely stay longer. At that time, I want to say "I'm home" and go through the curtain,Listening to the sound of two rivers meeting, I think about such things.
