#Travelwithme I went to Ochiairou in Yugashima Onsen, Shizuoka Prefecture ☺️💗 It is a long-established luxury inn loved by many literary figures, but it has been renovated and is also famous for its sauna! It is small, with only 16 rooms in total, despite the large grounds. But you can receive very polite hospitality 😌 I'm glad that they also provide a shuttle from Shuzenji Station! This inn is all-inclusive, so you don't have to pay for food and drinks during your stay! (Some are charged) In the lounge with a fireplace, alcoholic drinks, ice cream, sweets, etc. are available ✨ The room we stayed in, Tsuyukusa, had a cast net and Mt. Fuji made of kumiko craftsmanship. It is said to be an auspicious room with a "cast net" that gathers money and good fortune and "Mt. Fuji" that represents descendants and business prosperity 😳🙌 There is a bridge over the river that flows through the grounds, and when you cross it, you will find a swing hanging from a tree ✨ The entertainment room has a variety of games and a theater! Meals are served in private rooms at great times✨ They also offer a midnight snack service! The private open-air bath is spacious and wonderful, and the sauna with river water is really nice🥰Everything was wonderful and I definitely want to stay here again! I would say it's the most satisfying place I've ever stayed at...! I recommend going just to stay! It's perfect for a stay💗 The price is roughly 100,000 yen for two people per night. 📍 Ochiairo━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Address: 1887-1 Yugashima, Izu City, Shizuoka PrefectureDirections: Pick-up service available from Shuzenji Onsen StationRecommended points: The inn itself is a registered tangible cultural property!

Inn: Ochiairo Address: Izu Located on the Izu Peninsula of Japan, the historic ryokan Ochiairo has been welcoming guests since the 7th year of the Meiji era (1874). Its main building and the separate Nemunotei pavilion, including all guest rooms, have been designated as Japan's national tangible cultural properties. The main building is constructed with rare woods such as mahogany, exuding a sense of grandeur; while the Nemunotei pavilion offers a bright and soft atmosphere, built in the Sukiyabashi architectural style. This century-old ryokan has attracted countless Japanese literati and artists. Guest Rooms The ryokan has a total of 14 guest rooms, distributed between the main building and the two-story Nemunotei pavilion, with room sizes starting from 56 square meters. Each room's shoji paper doors are handcrafted by Japanese artisans, showcasing the intricate kumiko technique, reflecting the unique charm of this old ryokan. Dining The ryokan offers cuisine with fresh ingredients that change with the seasons, from spring bamboo shoots, summer reeds and vegetables, autumn's Izu specialties like Hime Tengu and log-grown shiitake mushrooms, to winter game, all carefully selected and prepared to create delicious dishes. Experience The ryokan's hot springs are sourced directly from the Amagi-Yugashima hot springs, known as 'the beauty skin bath'. It provides three different hot spring experiences: the cave bath 'Tengu no Yu', the open-air bath 'Hoshi no Yu', and the indoor bath 'Tsuki no Yu'. Bathing here, one can overlook the Kano River valley and blend with the surrounding natural scenery. Additionally, the ryokan offers a sauna room themed after a tea room and a tent sauna room by the Kano River, allowing guests to experience the outdoor wilderness life.

#sightseeing This time at Ochiairou we rented a bicycle✨It's an electric-assisted bicycle! By the way, we couldn't ride in heels, so we rented sandals at Ochiairou🙏 For our route, we went from Ochiairou to Amagi Shrine to the terraced rice fields in the wilderness, which took less than an hour round trip. We were actually thinking of going a little further, but the slope was steeper than we expected, and there was a lot of car traffic on the main road, so we decided on this route☺️ 📍Amagi ShrineA shrine with unusual lion dogs⛩The lion dogs are unique in that they don't face each other, but both face left, facing Mt. Amagi! 🗺Address: Yugashima 305, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆📍Rice terraces in the wildernessRice terraces selected as one of the 100 best rice terraces in Japan🌾The landlady told me that the rice used for Ochiairou is from here☺️🗺Address: Yugashima, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture Travel episodes━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✅When and where in September in Amagi Yugashima✅What happened? Try cycling! There were a lot of slopes and it was hard, but the spectacular view was soothing☺️✅Good/Not so good⭕️ It was a stylish bicycle and looked really nice💓❌However, I'm not used to riding a bicycle, so I had a hard time riding a bicycle with handlebars and saddle at almost the same height😭Also, the bicycle basket was too stylish and I felt a little uneasy to put only my smartphone in it, so I recommend putting something big enough to not fall through the mesh of the basket, such as a bag🙌⭕️It was the season when the rice ears were shining golden, and the rice terraces were spectacular❌It was quite hard to climb the slopes⭕️Usually I stay inside Ochiairou during my stay, but I was glad to learn that this area is related to Yasushi Inoue by walking around the area this time! #AmagiYugashimaOnsen #Shuzenji #Ochiairou #RentalBicycle #SpectacularView

#Outdoor The thing I definitely wanted to do during my stay at Ochiairou was a private tent sauna⛺️ Previously, it was only available as an accommodation plan, but now it's available as an option, so I tried it! Ochiairou is a lodging with a reputation for its saunas, with a famous tea room sauna among sauna lovers✨ The private sauna at Ochiairou is a wonderful thing where you can jump into the Kano River that flows right in front of you! And it's private! You can spend a very luxurious time🥰❤️ Of course, there is a cold bath, hot spring, and shower available separately from the river♨️Next to the deck chairs, there are also drinks that you can use to make oropo🙌 What's more, the sauna wear and sauna hats are all cute and lovely! I also made my sauna hat debut☺️This is an original Ochiairou product that can also be purchased [Private sauna]⏰Time limit: 75 minutes💵Price: 10,000 yen per personRental items:・Towels, sauna wear, sauna hat・Loyly set・Water shoes👙You must bring your own swimsuit! There is no rental. Recommended points━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✅You can jump into the river! ✅Private space for hire✅Aroma loyly bottles are also available✅Sauna wear is very comfortable◎✅Because it is a private space, both men and women can enter! ✅There is also a hot spring for one person Travel episode━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✅When and where did it happen in September at Ochiairou? We enjoyed a private tent sauna on the banks of the Kano River! ✅Good/Not good It was absolutely the best! At first, I thought the price was a bit high for the time, but when I actually experienced it, I was able to spend a wonderful time in a better-equipped environment than I had imagined. There were no bugs and it was the best environment☺️❤️By the way, when I asked the people at Ochiairou, they said that they will be using tent saunas all year round from now on! The recommended times are spring and autumn😌Because the water temperature of the river rises in summer and the water temperature is too low in winter. It's highly recommended, so if you have the chance to go to Ochiairou, please do so✨ 📍Ochiairou ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🗺Address: 1887-1 Yugashima, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture🚗Access: Pick-up available from Shuzenji Station💵Budget: Accommodation 2 people/100,000 yen~ Private tent sauna 1 person/10,000 yen #trip_sauna #sauna #privatesauna #ochiairou #shuzenjionsen #shizuoka

#AccommodationReview Ochiairou, which has seven registered tangible cultural properties, holds cultural property tours of the building at 10am and 5pm✨ It was very interesting and fun to go around while the staff at Ochiairou explained about the decorations made by the traditional techniques of artisans and the story of Kumiko craftsmanship☺️💗 The rosewood tree in the rosewood room, which uses rosewood trees over 2000 years old as pillars, is said to have all been carved, which is surprising😳 [Registered tangible cultural properties of Ochiairou] ・Entrance where the old accounting office remains ・Main building with guest rooms ・Minun-tei with guest rooms ・Staircase connecting the two buildings ・Rosewood room ・Iron-tiled building with reading room ・Spider web railing of the home building (currently closed) 📍 Ochiairou Address: 1887-1 Yugashima, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture Directions: Pick-up service available from Shuzenji Onsen Station Recommended points: The inn itself is a registered tangible cultural property!

I went to Ochiairou, my favorite inn in Amagi Yugashima, Shizuoka Prefecture. It's my third time here. 😌 No matter how many times I visit, it's a wonderful inn that makes me think it's wonderful. ❤️ Ochiairou changes the color of its noren curtains with each season. ☺️ In spring it's yellow-green, in summer it's blue, in autumn it's red, and in winter it's yellow. Now that it's autumn, the noren curtains have changed to red. This time, I stayed in the Tsubaki room! Each room has a different design, so I look forward to staying there every time. 🙌 I usually stay in a room on the second floor, but this time I stayed in Tsubaki, which is on the first floor along the river. There is also a terrace. 🥰 I was a little hesitant to choose the Tsubaki room because the bath in the room was smaller and more old-fashioned than the other rooms, but the Western-style bath was charming and I liked it. (There are private hot springs and large public baths, so it's not a problem if you don't take a bath in the room in the first place 🙆♀️) Recommended points━━━━━━━✅There is a tea room sauna that uses river water, which is highly praised by sauna lovers✅There is a private hot spring♨️✅There is a shuttle from Shuzenji Station✅The inn itself is a registered tangible cultural property.

The natural river flowing in front of you is the cold bath! I went to a sauna that is perfect for relaxation. This tent sauna can be rented by the hour, and is located on the grounds of the luxury hot spring inn "Ochiairou". It's a bit pricey, but it was a wonderful experience that you don't get to have very often! First, you are shown to a room in the inn and change into sauna clothes. A sauna hat is also provided. After that, you lock your room and head to the sauna by the river on the grounds. There is a hot bath in a proper bucket and a cold bath. You can also borrow bath towels and shoes to put in the river, and drinks are kept chilled in a cooler. There is also a phone to contact the front desk if you need anything. There is also a vihta. Do a loyly in the tent, stimulate your skin with the vihta, and when you get too hot, go to the river in front of you! It felt quite cold, but it was perfect for relaxation. #PR#ShizuokaTourism#Saunaer

There is an indoor bath like a cave, an open-air bath, and a sauna where you can also enjoy loyly. ⁡ Even though it's an indoor bath (3rd-4th photo), there is no door separating it from the open-air bath next to it, so it's close to the outside. The roof is covered with rocks and it's a little dark, so it feels like an adventure🕵️ ⁡ The open-air bath (1st and 2nd photos) is half wooden roof and half empty, so the stars are beautiful at night👀 ⁡ The sauna is at the door at the very back of the open-air bath, so you can enter while looking at the river🧖‍♀️ (It's the door you can see at the back of the first image🚪) It's a little narrower than the tea room sauna at Tsuki no Yu, so it gets hot and sweats easily!!! ⁡ Women can only enter in the morning, so I thought I'd like to go in at night too. I've introduced the private bath and the large bath, but Ochiairou's hot springs are simply amazing, so I'd like to stay there again🥺 ⁡ ※Photography is prohibited, so I received permission to take photos and post on SNS📷 ⁡#Ochiairou #Izu #t2203 #Hot spring #Hot spring trip #Shizuoka #Large bath #Open-air bath #Sauna

Shizuoka Izu Shuzenji Ochiairou ~Private open-air bath Hoshi no Yu~ ⁡ After checking in, there is a free private open-air bath that can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis♨️ (50-minute limit) ⁡ I made a reservation for 5pm so that I could enjoy it after using the large public bath. ⁡ Get the key at the front desk🗝 Walking down the cobblestone road, you will find Hoshi no Yu in a detached building. ⁡ The dressing room is spacious, and a toilet, sink, skin care products, hair dryer, towels, water, etc. are all provided. It's great that you can go there empty-handed from your room!!! ⁡ The private bath has three washing areas. The bathtub is big enough for about 8 people to fit in, and it was very comfortable 😇 ⁡ There is only a partial roof, so you get wet when it rains, but I gave up halfway through and stayed in the rain while protecting my head with a towel 🤣 ⁡ I wondered if 50 minutes was too long, but the temperature was about 42 degrees, which was comfortable, and it was over in a flash... ⁡ The baths tend to fill up before dinner, so if you want to make a reservation at a time you like, I recommend checking in early!!! #Ochiairou #t2203 #HotSpring #Izu #Shizuoka #HotSpringTrip #OpenAirBath #PrivateOpenAirBath
