My longest blog in ths trip so far
... 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.

Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)
... day riding a bike here, and I’d found one of the most wicked routes to ride in my life. It’s a skyline for sure, you get views from the ridgeline across the peninsular east and west and it’s fun just to sit and chill at a look out, watching other motorcyclists cruise by, or ogle the other parked bikes.
