... 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)
... in had a train station so I always aimed for that. Shimoda is a beautiful little place. Make sure you take the time to go for a walk. It’s so quiet. There are so few cars you can just walk down the middle of the road almost.
