Experience of the stay
The hotel felt casual yet had a calm interior and attentive service that I found charming.
The concept of valuing connections with locals was reflected in the hotel and its services, where before the trip, I received an email from the hotel staff sharing recommended restaurants around the hotel. It was great to be able to plan enjoyably and make reservations beforehand, giving me peace of mind.
For dinner, we had delicious yakiniku at a restaurant serving meat from Kyoto, and afterward purchased fruits and snacks at a nearby supermarket, enjoying a leisurely night at the hotel. In the morning, I took a stroll along the beach before heading to a bakery open from 7 AM that had a wide variety of breads and enjoyed it with coffee at the hotel lounge. I highly recommend both places as they were truly delicious.
The room was spacious and very comfortable. The window was large, and I was happy to see a bit of the sea.
Experiences during the trip
I have been to Kyoto many times, but it was my first time traveling beyond it. I took an early morning Shinkansen from Tokyo and, after a lovely limited express train ride for another two hours from Kyoto, I arrived at the beautiful Amanohashidate with its quiet sea by noon. It took time, but traveling by train was relaxing and I enjoyed the scenery. Next, I want to travel by train that allows me to enjoy meals at restaurants and cafes along the way.
After having lunch near Amanohashidate Station, I went cycling with a rental bike. The weather was nice, and it was refreshing to ride while looking at the white sandy beaches and trees. I took photos on the beach and found beautiful shells and stones. The view from the observation deck was truly beautiful, and looking at the sky and distant islands somehow refreshed me. On the way back, I took a sightseeing boat back to the station (tickets can be bought together with the rental bike) and headed to Miyazu where my hotel was by a local bus. There were not many tourists, and I was really able to relax. If I had more time, I wanted to extend my visit to Ine, but I'll save that for next time.Get Extra Bonus Coins!
