Braised red bream, a specialty of Izu Inatori 2021/3/13【74】

I took a day off on Monday and set out for a 2-night, 3-day trip to Izu.

We stayed in Izu Inatori.

We left Tokyo around noon and first headed to Atami by Shinkansen.

After getting off at Atami Station, we had a sushi lunch at 'Isomaru Nakamise Street Store' to fill our stomachs.

No matter how many times I visit Atami, the seafood is always delicious.

After lunch, we took a light stroll around the station while waiting for the train to Izu.

We bought sweets from 'Sumiyoshiya'. Their sweet potato and cheesecake, both of which are bite-sized, were easy to eat and delicious.

After about an hour and a half on the local train, we arrived at Izu Inatori Station.

Izu Inatori is said to be the birthplace of hanging Hina doll decorations, and they were displayed at the station.

When we arrived at the station, the intermittent rain had stopped, and we could see some clear skies.

We took a shuttle bus from the station and arrived at 'Inatori Ginsuiso' in about 10 minutes.

Upon arriving at the inn, we enjoyed a welcome drink and started looking for a place for dinner.

There were several options, but we decided on 'Warai no Ie', a local tavern near our inn where we could enjoy local cuisine. Every dish made with local ingredients was delicious.

Braised Alfonsino is a specialty of Izu Inatori, and it seemed like all the tourists were ordering it.

After dinner, we relaxed in the inn's hot spring and went to bed early.

The hot spring at this inn offers a panoramic view of the sea from the open-air bath, and it was incredibly refreshing.
