Akazawa Onsen Hotel's infinity hot spring is the perfect winter escape. In January, I fled Tokyo to the Izu Highlands and discovered the Akazawa Onsen Hotel, a seaside sanctuary that feels like salvation in winter! The infinity hot spring pool is perched on a coastal cliff, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean while soaking in warm waters. Whether it's a sunny day with the blue sea reflecting the clear sky or a rainy day with misty bays, the scenery is so stunning it makes you lose track of time. 🌊 The public baths are even more impressive than the private ones! Ingenious gender-swapping pools The hotel features multiple hot spring pools across two buildings, with the infinity open-air bath on the top floor of the South Wing being the highlight. Glass railings provide unobstructed ocean views, and as you soak, warm steam rises while fishing boats drift by in the distance—it's like being immersed in a living ukiyo-e painting. The most intriguing part is the gender-swapping pools every half day. On the second day, I discovered the rock pool on the side of the North Wing, where you can hear the waves crashing against the cliffs—purely therapeutic! 🍜 A serendipitous discovery: "Japan's best dandan noodles" Originally, I booked a one-night stay with half-board, but I stumbled upon a gem at the South Wing restaurant: a bowl of dandan noodles hailed by Google reviews as "Japan's best." The chili oil is aromatic without being overpowering, the minced meat perfectly coats the springy noodles, and the soft-boiled egg is the ultimate pairing! The best part? It costs only 800 yen, cheaper than city restaurants. After the meal, I lounged in the tatami relaxation room on the second floor, listening to the sound of waves—this is the essence of Japanese tranquility.

The sea view in the lobby will impress you at first sight The overall design is soft and simple wooden furniture I like the paintings on the wall very much Adds color gradation to the space Simple design and soft lighting create a very warm feeling ♨️ Not popular, almost no Chinese customers, very cost-effective All rooms face the sea The hotel’s hot spring baths offer open-air views of the sea. Take a dip in the sea breeze and overlook the sea view from a high place Few people, beautiful scenery, 🏨 The room is very spacious All have large terraces overlooking the sea.

The recent exchange rate is so favorable for visiting Japan! This trip is a leisurely tour around Tokyo and Izu, 📍Itinerary D1: Departure—Shinjuku D2: One-day shopping in Shinjuku, purchasing the best specialty of the trip—👓glasses! The price of Jins is basically 1/3 of that in China, and you can get the default 1.67 thickness on the same day, but it takes seven days to get them thinned and mailed. D3: Panoramic Park - Shuzenji - Kinosaki Coast D4: Omuroyama - Cactus Animal Park D5: Return to Tokyo, continue shopping at the drugstore 🛍️ 🌟Top Recommendation The most unforgettable part of this trip was the hot spring hotel in Izu, Akazawa Onsen Hotel. If possible, I would love to stay there for a month, soaking in the hot spring while facing the sea is so comfortable! I had a very satisfying bowl of salmon donburi there, and there was a sashimi buffet for breakfast, a sheer delight for raw fish lovers. 🫠Broken Memories People who are afraid of heights are scared to death on Mount Omuro; although the view from the top is beautiful, the feeling of looking back down to the foot of the mountain is really terrifying 😱. However, for those who are not afraid of heights, I highly recommend this matcha mountain, it's very photogenic! It looks like a scene from Zelda, with an archery range nestled in the mountain hollows, and a red house halfway up the mountain that's very picturesque, just like in an animated film—

🕐️DAY 1: Arrive in Tokyo at night, stay in Shinjuku shopping district Evening: Eat yakitori in Ueno, Tokyo. 【Torikizoku】 restaurant recommended, cheap and delicious, average cost 80+ to eat to your heart's content 🕐️DAY 2: Take a stroll around Shinjuku shopping district Shinjuku is really great for shopping, spent the whole day here, you can find everything from anime IPs, trendy stores, budget malls, to luxury malls all in one place 【Must-buy glasses】Jins glasses for less than 400 yuan (remember to get a coupon from Ctrip Global Shopping, it can be a bit cheaper) 【Drugstore】Lion's acne cream, Silkpeptide yeast, DHC lip balm are much cheaper than on 🍑bao. However, you need to do your research before going, otherwise, you won't know what to buy, there's too much variety. 🕐️DAY 3: Tokyo ➡️ Izu Journey: Take a chartered car to Izu, about a 3-hour drive Attractions: Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace - Shuzenji Note: Japan's attractions are quite small, definitely no need to reserve several hours. There are some art shops near Shuzenji, worth a quick visit Meal: Eel rice Hotel: Stay at 【Akazawa Onsen Hotel】 for 2 nights in Izu, delicious breakfast, can enjoy hot springs, great environment, recommended. Note: When booking the hotel, be sure to choose the option that includes breakfast and dinner, as there are no other restaurants nearby, and it would be inconvenient to go to the hot springs area to eat at a restaurant that accepts walk-in customers if dinner is not included. 🕐️DAY 4: South Izu Attractions: Shirahama Shrine, Sea Torii, Shirahama Beach These attractions are not recommended, you can avoid them, they are all very small, not much to see, and the seaside is very windy and messy, not good for photos 🕐️DAY 5: East Izu Attractions: Omuro Mountain, Cactus Park, these two attractions are very close and suitable to visit together. Omuro Mountain is photogenic, good for taking pictures. When buying tickets for the Cactus Park, show your Omuro Mountain cable car ticket for a discount Journey: Izu ➡️ Tokyo, a 4.5-hour journey, not to be underestimated Hotel: Stay at a hotel near Sensoji Temple 🕐️DAY 6: Tokyo ➡️ Shanghai Morning: Take a walk around Sensoji Temple Noon: Depart for the airport at 11 am, the plane is at 15.55 in the afternoon, head out early to wander around the airport. Afternoon: Fly back to Shanghai, returning to the embrace of the motherland

We took a family trip with my 2-year-old nephew and 0-year-old niece. We were able to relax in a very beautiful room. It was also nice to have the sea right in front of us. Half of the Japanese-Western room is made of tatami mats, so there is no need to worry about the baby falling out even if he rolls over a lot! Small children cannot use the large public bath, but if you make a reservation at the front desk, you can use the private bath, so we were able to take a bath without worrying about the people around us. Dinner was not too much and was just right and delicious. The convenience store was also quite well-stocked, so we were able to enjoy sweets and alcohol in the evening.
