Trip to Shuzenji Onsen

Shuzenji Onsen is located on the Izu peninsular which is about 2 hours drive from Tokyo. It is one of popular onsen (hot spring) towns in Izu, and a nearby river, Kanogawa holds Japanese native trout (amago), so it is an ideal place for people who want to do bit of fishing as well as spending time in a hot spring which Japanese people love to do.

We only stayed one night, so fishing time was very limited. On top of that the rain came down heavily when I got to the river, but fortunately I was able to catch fish at the end (I also missed one good fish).

As for our accommodation, we stayed at Kikuya Ryokan, a traditional Japanese style hotel, and we were impressed with their hospitality and meals as well as onsen (hot spring). We would like to use the same place if we go back again.

家族と一緒に修善寺温泉へ。

一泊二日の日程上、釣りの時間は限られていたし、川に立てば大粒の雨。それでもなんとか魚の顔を見る事ができました。

宿の菊屋旅館は、食べ物は美味しかったし、旅館の人は親切で、温泉も貸し切りの浴場があってとても良かったです。夕食に出た由比産桜えびのかき揚げはとにかく絶品でした。今回の日本旅行で沢山美味しいものを食べましたが、このかき揚げは一二を争う味でした。

それにしても、今回の旅行は釣りの日は雨か寒空、家族とショッピングの日は晴天でポカポカ陽気。どうやら日頃の行いを改めないといけない様です。
