Nishiizu Koyoi

If you are looking for a spa, this bath is probably not what you expect. It is a japanese bath house. We absolutely loved the authentic feeling. The japanese style rooms where you could sit and sleep on the floor. The aspect that they didn’t speak almost any English, but were trying to make us enjoy for example the dinners as well as they could. A big smile and great attitude goes a long way. Can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed than after visiting this great Onsen. The dinners were totally amazing and offered treats at a fine dining level. We had a bath in our room, which was small but good for two people. You could also reserv the roof bath for only 1k¥. On a clear day I would choose the Fuji bath. There was also a public bath which came with very specific bathing instructions. The place is not very easy to access. Train, local bus first and then they picked us up in Heda. Also fun to see a smaller fishing town, which was of course very different from Kyoto, Tokyo etc. They have an English website explaining how to get there, but it is not that easy to find googling. The two night visit here was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Highly recommended, but probably not for everyone. The awesome food and style of accomondation might not be to everyones liking, but that is a big part of the experience too. Loved it.
