Inatori Ginsuiso Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Izu Inatori Ginshui Manor Hotel
Izu Inatori Ginshui Manor Hotel||| It took nearly 4 hours from Tokyo to Izu Inatori. Although I was confident about the hotel, I was still amazed when I opened the window of the room and saw the sea view and sunset.
Before leaving Tokyo, I used my full Japanese and English to communicate by phone. I learned that the hotel arranges a shuttle bus at Inatori Station from 1 pm to 5 pm. As expected, I saw hotel staff waiting with signs as soon as I arrived. Super relieved.
In China, people prefer new hotels over old ones, but in Japan, it's the opposite. The not-so-busy street scene, the nostalgic original wooden tatami and the original handmade key are the favorites of social phobia and nostalgic people.
I found a lot of guides about Izu on the Internet before, but it seems that I don't need them anymore. I decided to spend a day enjoying the nostalgic hotel and the quiet and appropriate small town around. There are no check-in points, no destinations, just pure emptiness and wasting time, what a beautiful luxury.
Atagawakan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Agnes @ Atagawa Inn
Atagawa is a small place, even the station is small, and there are not many people. It's not a popular travel destination on the Izu Peninsula. But as a 'travel expert', how can I only visit popular scenic spots? 😀
Atagawa Inn is considered a very famous and large inn locally. It is said to be almost a hundred years old. Inform the inn of the number of people staying in advance by email, some precautions, etc. At that time, the inn mentioned that if you arrive early, there is a car to pick up at the station. But when we arrived, it was already past six o'clock, and we had to call the hotel front desk to ask if a car could be sent to pick us up. The person who answered the phone was an elderly man who said he couldn't speak English, and found a woman who could speak English to listen to the phone. Fortunately, it was finally settled, otherwise my mother and I would probably have to take a taxi with two large suitcases. When I arrived at the hotel, I found that the old lady who communicated with me was at least in her eighties, with white hair and a very good temperament.
The hotel room is very large, which is really rare in Japan. Apart from a bit of backache from sleeping in the tatami room, everything else is pretty good. The best thing about this hotel is the sea view room, where you can directly see the magnificent sunrise from the room, with an unbeatable view. Because the hotel was booked late, we didn't book a meal, you can try it if you have the chance. The overall experience is still very good, the hotel's public hot spring bath is also good, divided into indoor and outdoor, it is said that during the fireworks festival, this inn is a first-line view, you can directly watch the fireworks while soaking in the bath.
In general, apart from the slightly troublesome shuttle, everything else is highly praised! The shuttle and hotel can also be negotiated to solve! Great choice!

Hokkawa Onsen Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
🌸Enjoy the changing seasons and come to Beichuan Hot Spring Hotel to explore the natural beauty!
Matsumoto Castle 🏯 is one of Japan's national treasures, with a history dating back to the early 16th century. From a distance, the castle looks like a blooming lotus flower, very beautiful. 🌸 Inside the castle, there are many exhibits showcasing samurai culture and the family life of past lords, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Japan four hundred years ago.
Not only that, if you like hot springs, I highly recommend the Izu Kitagawa Onsen Hotel 🏨. It is built on a mountain and has excellent mountain views and saltwater hot springs. The soaking pools here are all outdoors, and there are beautiful lights at night, facing the stars directly, it's a beautiful sight. ✨
When you come to Japan, of course you have to try the cuisine! There is a traditional Japanese restaurant 🍱 called "Tononouen" in the center of Matsumoto city. The ingredients here are all fresh and local, and the taste is very good. It is recommended to order grilled mochi with green onion, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, melting in your mouth. 😋
Japan is truly a country full of surprises, where you can learn new cultures and experiences from every corner. Next time you visit Japan, make sure to plan your itinerary well and don't miss out on these beautiful attractions!
