Experience of the stay
Normally, I would stay at a ryokan along the busier road in Yugawara, but this time I stayed at a ryokan on a high ground for the first time. Recently, as the world has become more lively, I often return from solo trips feeling like I couldn't relax, but this place was truly chill!
Being on high ground, it was quiet, and I loved the renovation feel of the room, plus the Yogibo was fully relaxing.
There was a free drink area prepared with various tea leaves, coffee, chocolate, and nuts.
Many guests were quietly reading books or spending time in peace.
The large public bath was Yugawara Onsen ♨️. As expected of Yugawara's hot springs, I soaked in the lukewarm water and felt warm until morning!
The dinner and breakfast that were additionally included were delicious! The freshness of the seafood for the hand-rolled sushi was excellent, the seasoning of the obanzai was just right, and the stock for the rice porridge was perfect for my taste!
I was tired from my daily life when I visited, but I thought about going further away, and I'm glad I came here instead. Because it was close, I could relax without feeling tense.
I have added more ryokans I want to visit in the future. Thank you very much! 😊
Experiences during the trip
I went on a shrine tour. The Samukawa Shrine, a Shinto shrine for protection from evil, is about three stations away by transferring from the local train in Chigasaki! There were many people visiting for Shichi-Go-San, and it was a wonderful shrine beloved by the locals!
The next day, I visited the Kumano Shrine in Atami, next door to Yugawara! Here, a large camphor tree that brings good luck and protection from misfortune is enshrined, and there is a sweet shop in the bamboo forest, where you can relax in the precincts.
Both shrines were wonderful.
