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.
Had a burger with onion at the Fuji train station while waiting for our train, MOS Burger, it was ...

Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)
... I drew up in OSRM with the help of Gaijin Riders forum members. But no matter, I happened upon the bus station in the centre of town and they sent me round the corner to the tourist info place, where a couple of little old ladies lined me up with a Y4500 guesthouse.
