Izu Shimoda and Atagawa - Sunday, 25 Nov. 2018

Recently I went on a trip to Izu, Shizuoka. I stayed at Shimoda for two nights, and I went to Atagawa at the last day of the trip.

Hot spring

The primary purpose of the trip is hot spring. I stayed in a room that has a private hot spring. The place is perfect. I took the hot spring at morning, evening, night, and late at night.

The hotel serves good dinners and breakfasts. The following photos are the dinner and breakfast. They are delicious.

Ushio-jiru of clam f:id:Pocke:20181121194043j:plain

Especially I like Ushio-jiru of clam (the last one). It is Japanese clam soup. It is based on salt. It tastes bland.


I ate kinmedai don (rice bowl with red bream) for a lunch out of the hotel. f:id:Pocke:20181122121205j:plain

It is really delicious. It is the best food of the trip. I ate it at this restaurant. http://www.kaikokushimodaminato.co.jp/restarants/restarants.htm

I like rays. f:id:Pocke:20181121135431j:plainf:id:Pocke:20181121135446j:plain
