This brought back so many good memories of family trips to Japan. I love ryokans and onsens in the country. Everything just feels better and the food seems that much more ono. Mahalos for the nostalgic walk down memory lane!
Yay, more Japanese content! Some of my favorite memories are from a ryokan, and the amazing food served there. And I well remember that "almost comatose" feeling of being so relaxed after an onsen. 😆 My favorite soaks were in the rotenburos -- waterfalls, colorful maple leaves, snow falling....it's just sooo beautiful being out in nature! *sigh* Loving watching your journey and living vicariously through you guys! 🥰
Wow the place is so amazing. So peaceful and quite. I can see how relaxing the hot spring . Their foods look so yummmy too. Enjoy and have fun. Thank you for sharing.❤
I love how traditional Japanese this episode was. That looked and felt very Japanese. I would love to go with you guys to help us navigate Japan. It looks like so much fun. 🤙🏽❤️🇯🇵🍱
"Free Ballin"? LOL! TMI!. And when the both of you just came out of the onsen another classic LOL!(you both looked like you were ready to pass out bcuz you were so relaxed). Private onsen in room is the way to go(I won't bocha with other dudes). And that breakfast looked awesome!(makes you wonder what dinner would have looked like?). Another great Japan Adventure from both of you! Thanks for the ride...
iwashi is sardines, the sqiud dish is shio kara (sqiud mixed with it;s liver and salt) aji is akule, suprised not to see a raw eggs which is pretty standard in Japanese breakfast. Its safe to eat japanese eggs raw unlike american eggs
Oh my that breakfast! Did it cost a fortune? Also, the two of you look very, very relaxed. I didn’t really understand what was going on with the baths though. Make/female areas or everyone in the same bath? So many pools you showed as well. I don’t quite know what was going on but regardless, looks amazing!
The add on was only $35 after conversion!😋 also the public baths are private reservations so couples, singles, or families can enjoy the bigger baths when it’s available, just gotta remember to lock the door 😆 lol
Looks like a really nice medium-level "affordable" ryokan (How much was it?) and especially for Izu during Golden Week, there didnʻt seem to be many other guests around, so you were lucky to have the onsen to yourselves. Maybe Japanese people are still cautious after the State of Emergency was lifted. And what a beautiful view and your own rotenburo (which you didnʻt use). I personally love the kaiseki dinners that are served in your room at ryokan, but the breakfast looked wonderful -- though probably too much for me to eat in the morning. The miso shiru, grilled fish (iwashi is sardine) and seasonal greens with shirasu and chawan mushi looked delicious, but the squid in fermented seafood organs sauce (shiokara) is one of those slimy "innards" dishes I donʻt care for at all. Iʻve stayed at more "lower-end" onsen with friends in the busier areas of Izu for Japanese tourists, but I like the more secluded area and nature of the place you stayed at in Higashiizu. Afterall, Japanese people usually go to onsen on short trips to unwind, soak in the baths, eat, drink, and socialize with their travel mates. This ryokan looks like a place Iʻd like to visit.
I found your channel through TabiEats. This looks like a really lovely place. We may return to Japan in a couple of years. Maybe we will learn some Japanese by then, but jic, do they speak English here?

This onsen was definitely very relaxing! We wish we stayed for more than just 1 night and truly unwind!
I have that same samsonite luggage.
It’s been holding up so far 👌🏼
I found your channel through TabiEats. This looks like a really lovely place. We may return to Japan in a couple of years. Maybe we will learn some Japanese by then, but jic, do they speak English here?
It was limited English but they had English menus 👍
I love this traditional experience and the view was so breath taking!
Mahalo Pat! 🤙🤙

What is the name of this ryokan? I am going June 2024 and wanna go experience kaiseki meal
I would love to do this but i feel like I will have a hard time with communicating
They do have English menus as well 👍
what month was this video filmed?
In May 👍
Amanda, do you speak or understand Japanese?
The view is amazing!
Yes! I can speak and read 😬🤙
That's cool
I remember in one vlog you mentioned what your ethnicity is, so I am assuming that you are Japanese
How much per night?
It was about $300 a night after conversion 👍
I'm free free ballin
😂
