Kangcheng Kawabata mentioned the hot springs of Xiusan Temple three times in the short story ”The Dancer of Izu”. Before we set off for Japan, we decided to add a berth and two meals to the ghost's habitat in the second half of our newlywed trip, one to experience the traditional Japanese soup culture, and the other to relieve fatigue for the first half of the trip.
From Tokyo, the Shanyang Line to Sandao transfer, three hours to the hot spring town of Zhongyizu. Unlike the downtown, the flowing water, Nana breeze, the breath of nature makes people feel very comfortable when they get off the bus. The hotel has been waiting at the station in advance. The driver master introduced us to the attractions, the room (we booked the mountain section, after talking about it, you can look at the water, see if you want to change) and the dining arrangement. His humor makes the transfer journey very pleasant and short.
In terms of service, the whole process is meticulous, there is a Chinese brother at the front desk, and the check-in is also very smooth. At the same time, I noticed that the driver master had a special explanation with the front desk after learning that we were newlyweds. So thank you for the ”kill to die” that the hotel offers, including flowers, two free drinks and desserts.
In terms of rooms, the whole hotel is very elegant. After comparison, although the soup pool in Qingshui is larger, we prefer the room type and mountain view of Shanke. Combining Zen decoration design and furniture, we enjoy this hot spring trip very much.
In terms of dining, whether it is dinner or breakfast, kaiseki cuisine is very exquisite. While experiencing the fresh food in the season, you can feel the chef's understanding and making, pursuit and ingenuity in terms of taste, ingredients, appearance, etc., only 40 years old is really very young.
In terms of environment, before two o'clock, we went to the town for a walk. The sunflower is a local specialty. This can be taken away from the buckwheat noodles, the sunflower ice cream can be tasted, etc. You can feel it. I especially recommend the buckwheat noodles of the Temple そば (refreshing, fragrant and delicious) Ice cream with Tan Nai (next to the foot bath soup pool, you can soak your feet while blowing the hair while eating dessert).
Overall, this hot spring trip has become a very good memory for us, looking forward to the future opportunity to come again.
Excellent
