Currently, day trips are only available with lunch and hot springs (or just a meal).

Black soybean tea is provided at the post-bath area 'Oasis'. This time, I chose the Awaji Island Seafood Noodles for lunch. The noodles were made with seafood sourced from the local fishing port. Although the day trip-only option is no longer available, I enjoyed a luxurious time with the large public bath all to myself. This hotel is recommended for hot spring lovers, as you can enjoy the sauna, open-air bath, and the hotel's own red hot spring, Komoe Onsen. · Day Trip Casual Plan ◆ Awaji Island Seafood Noodles + Bath Ticket 〈Price〉3,520 yen per adult (tax and service charge included) 〈Meal Time〉11:30 AM - 2:00 PM 〈Closed〉Tuesdays 〈Hot Spring Usage Time〉 ・Spa Terrace Suigetsu (12:00 PM - 6:00 PM) Awaji Tanada no Yu (Men) Kuniumi no Yu (Women) ・Awaji Yumesenkei Yuhinkaku Amamiya no Shizuku (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM) Visit Date: October 2024 ✱----------------------------------------------- 【Accommodation】Hotel New Awaji 【Location】20 Kojidani, Sumoto City, Hyogo Prefecture (Komoe Coast) 【Access】By car: About 15 minutes from Sumoto IC, about 25 minutes from Tsuna Ichinomiya IC, about 15 minutes from Awaji Island Central Smart IC · ----------------------------------------------✱

Awajishima, Hyogo Prefecture in August 𓂃 ✍︎______________________________________📍 Wave Sound Terrace Suite Villa Anho (check in 15:00 | check out 11:00) This time, we stayed overnight at a villa in Sumoto City, Awajishima!

We enjoyed hydrogen and the ocean view at this luxury villa with a hydrogen SPA concept! · The facility has 4 villas in total, which are two stories high and each room is spacious, starting from 92 square meters. The point is that you can enjoy the view from every room as they face the sea! From the rooftop you can look down on the ocean in a panorama, and the open-air bath on the first floor is shared and can be enjoyed in a swimsuit all year round♡ · Guest roomThis time we stayed in room 102 on the first floor🔑・4 beds・Full-fledged kitchen (there was free drinks in the fridge, and there were 18 bottles of alcohol and soft drinks, which was more than enough🥹)・Unlimited hydrogen・Open with glass and mirror reflections・Luxurious tile floors and walls・Fully equipped with sound equipment and projector・In the bathroom you can lie down and enjoy the hydrogen bath · DiningWe made a reservation at "Izakaya Hama", which is 7 minutes by car from the inn.There was a parking lot, the food was very filling, and we could enjoy the ingredients of Awaji Island, which were delicious♡.....The inn was very carefully cleaned, clean, sparkling, and comfortable♪You can play in the sea in front of it, and there was also a terrace where you can have a BBQ✨The view in front of you is just for us!

Unboxing Awaji Island Tourist Hotel🌊🇯🇵 Choosing a seaview accommodation on Awaji Island is the right move! This time, I was also attracted by this seaview Japanese tatami room💙 This inn is a comprehensive hotel with a large public bath, lounge, paid game room, outdoor swimming pool, and even fishing activities🎣. The most attractive part is the free rental of fishing gear, and if you catch a fish, the hotel can help process it into sashimi or other dishes🍣! Such extensive facilities are more suitable for families to enjoy, allowing you to spend the whole day at the hotel without going out👍🏻 (As a foreign traveler, I basically had no chance to enjoy other facilities besides the large public bath) Regarding dining, my room rate originally only included a buffet breakfast, but I added a buffet dinner after arriving at the hotel (7000 yen per person). Personally, I don't really recommend the buffet dinner, as the choices are limited and the taste is quite ordinary, not really worth the price. The breakfast🍳, however, was surprisingly varied and delicious! (It seems to have more and better options than dinner!) The overall service is very good, with a personal introduction to the hotel and escort to your room upon arrival👍🏻 🏨 Awakan 📍〒656-0023 Hyogo Prefecture, Sumoto City, Kojidani 1053-17

This cafe is located in a quiet, hidden spot in Goshiki, Awaji Island. 🧈 It's a cute house from the outside, and the interior was also very nice 🤍 They sell a variety of items, from dried flowers to salt 📌 There were also cute goats outside 🐐 (※Currently, it seems that you are not allowed to get close to them or touch them) I was not allowed to take photos of the menu, so I ordered a melon cream soda and today's cake, a blueberry chantin chiffon cake. I ordered 🫐 It also had cream cheese inside, and it went perfectly with the blueberries, so it was delicious 💜 There are only three tables inside the shop, so it fills up quickly, so I recommend going as soon as it opens ☀️ The owner is the only one running the shop, so you might have to wait a little...

🌀Oishi Park is a park by Lake Kawaguchiko with a field of flowers in full bloom, a field of lavender, and a 350-meter long walkway where you can see Mt. Fuji. You can visit it all year round. ♥️There are shops and restaurants. 💕We can enjoy the park for half a day. The day we went, it was cloudy and drizzling, and we couldn't see Mt. Fuji. But the beauty of the park is still beautiful. There are many kinds of flowers for us to experience, mixed with the cold, giving us a different feeling. And we will definitely come back here again. 🌈How to get there From Kawaguchiko Station, take the red Ratro Bus and get off at the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center stop. 🌸The park is free of charge. 💕Open 24 hours. 🍄Location Oishi Park Fujikawaguchiko, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi, Japan #akinKub #oishipark #TravelJapan

Another observation deck in Iwashimizu Park National Park, Sumoto City, Awaji Island 🌟 It's designed like a kite about to take off into the sky and sea 🌟 The view from here is Tomogashima Island and Wakayama City, overlooking the Kitan Strait. When you look at Tomogashima Island, you'll see a white lighthouse! It's the same as the Iwashimizuhana Lighthouse that we introduced earlier 🌟 Come to Iwashimizu Park, where you can feel the history ❣️ #gw2022jp #breathtakingview #retrospot #historicalsite #remoteislandtrip

Iwashiki Park, a national park in Sumoto City, Awaji Island 🌟 As you walk through a forest that seems like something out of a storybook, it suddenly appears. In the forest of ruins, a white lighthouse that looks like a fairy, the Iwashikihana Lighthouse 🌟 The beautiful white lighthouse faces the island of Tomogashima, across the Kitan Strait. Tomogashima is also an island of ruins. These two islands have countless stories. #RemoteIslandTrip #RetroSpot #gw2022jp

A high observation deck at Iwaki Park in Setonaikai National Park, Sumoto City, Awajishima, Hyogo Prefecture 🌟 Walk along a path through a beautiful forest 🌟 After relaxing in the beautiful, mysterious forest, which feels like a Malaysian jungle, there is a high observation deck. #gw2022jp #breathtakingview #photogenicspot #retrospot

There is a place called "Yura Fortress. Ikuishiyama Battery Ruins" in Sumoto City, Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture. It is said that the fortress was built at the same time as Gunkanjima in Wakayama Prefecture. Four brick battery ruins remain. When I went there, there were many visitors and it was lively. You cannot get close to the remains of the fortress, but there is an observation platform so it is not inconvenient. #gw2022jp #great view #historic site #retro spot #remote island trip
