Experience of the stay
My room had a balcony, and when I opened the window, I could see the ocean right in front of me. The windows are large, and the only sounds I could hear were the wind, waves, and birds, already making me feel like I was in a different world.
The interior was calm and made it easy to spend time alone. There is a welcome drink in the lounge! I checked in and immediately refreshed myself in the hot spring.
Also, from 19:30 to 20:00, there is a gender switch for the hot spring. The mist sauna was a pleasant space where I could feel like I was in a forest bath.
There are amenities and relaxation wear, so if you want to reduce your luggage, you might not need to bring anything. I brought my travel pajamas to enjoy my stay.
During my stay, I leisurely spent time while looking at the hot spring and the sea. Since Hafh is a stay-only plan, if you want meals, you need to make a reservation in advance.
As there are no convenience stores near the hotel, I recommend buying drinks at the station or on the way!
I only reserved breakfast additionally. When I checked in, I was asked about Western or Japanese food, so I chose Western-style. In a stylish space, the staff served the food while I observed the preparation.
The vegetables were crunchy, the omelet fluffy, and all the other menus were very delicious!
It was a luxurious and healing stay where I woke up to sunlight and the sounds of nature, feeling refreshed!
Experiences during the trip
I stopped by the Mediterranean restaurant Honohono, which is about a 15-minute walk from Manazuru Station. I enjoyed a seafood lunch featuring fresh seafood and local vegetables in a stylish space. That day, I had confit amberjack!
After a stroll, I went to HUMANS BEER, located about 5 minutes from the hotel. It seems that this craft beer brewery only serves drinks inside on weekends. Drinking craft beer after a bath while looking at the fishing port was exceptional. There are 10 types to choose from, and the logo is cute too.
For dinner, I went early to Manazuru Bar Shio to Lemon near the station. It’s a stylish bar where you can enjoy dishes made with lemon as well as lemon sour and drinks. The menu is rich, and everything I tried was delicious, paired well with drinks. I particularly recommend the fish carpaccio!
It was a trip where I fully enjoyed food and nature.
