... 2-3 hrs there to use there beautiful ladies only rest area (no additional charge). The restaurant looks nice too, not sure about the taste. The spa area, ladies only, looks very professional, however the price seems to be higher than the Canadians' hotel spa. I do recommend this onzen. BTW, no pictures were taken, except at the entrance of the building.
Had a burger with onion at the Fuji train station while waiting for our train, MOS Burger, it was ...

Unfortunately there seem to be no little local restaurants in the town so we have just been to ...
Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)
... at the peninsular tip. After the skyline I rode along the coast into Shimoda, which is also really beautiful. I love riding along the coast, you get all the little picturesque seaside fishing villages on one side and some nice mountain views on the other.
