It was a long trip but we were happy when we arrived at our fancy Japanese ryoken. Staying at this place was my birthday gift to Eliza from her birthday back in June.
The place didn't look like much from the outside but the inside was nice and the rooms were great! The biggest rooms we had ever stayed in. There was a lobby nook and a bathroom with our main sleeping area and tea table and then a separate eating room with a balcony. And it was all furnished Japanese style. We loved it.
We explored around the are for an hour or so to kill some time before our scheduled dinner time. Eliza an I went to a Japanese restaurant the equivalent of a Denny's. We had a tasty cake bowl before heading back to the ryoken.
When we arrived back we bummed around for 30 min and then went down to the hotel restaurant for our fancy dinner. The food was already layed out for us. The spread looked delicious as you can see below.
We gobbled up everything and I ate a lot of the food that Eliza didn't care for. We then headed back to our rooms stuffed.
This ryoken also had the nice Japanese robes so my parents and us decided to have a photo shoot! It was a lot of fun and we got some nice pics out of it :D
I had booked the private onsen so that Eliza and I could go in a hot spring together without having other naked people all around us. It was great having own little onsen. Though holy crap the water was hot! It wad almost scalding hot. Liza went in right away but it took me a bit to go in. We then noticed a tap by the onsen that runs cold water to help cool the temperature. We hung around there for maybe half an hour then made our way back to our room still wearing our comfy Japanese robes.
It had been a great day and we had our nice little tea set in our rooms so Eliza suggested we have some tea. She got everything ready and we had a really nice cup of tea really just enjoying ourselves before going to sleep. We did our usual review of the day's pics on the camera and then fell asleep.
