Kurhaus Ishibashi Ryokan - Day Onsen

goldenweek pt 1

Last week was Goldenweek in Japan. We both had some time, so Maiko and I met up in Fujinomiya and took a train down the east coast of Izu (a peninsula in Shizuoka). We started the day off in Atami exploring the beach there then we made our way to Shimoda (where Commander Perry and his black ships forced Japan to open its doors to the west). While there we went to Shirahama Beach (white beach, don't worry its not racist... i think). We capped off the day with a stay at an amazing ryokan named Kanaya Ryokan. (we had our own private onsen, nice!). Please check them out at
Thanks for watching part one, please check out part 2.
