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.

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.
