Kamogawa Onsen is Rian. It opened on August 8, 2022. A Japanese-style building built in the image of an old Japan inn. Gentle wood warmth, fragrance. And the sea spreads out in front of you. The water basins in front of the room and lobby reflect the moon at night and ripple with the wind, making the open-air bath at night even more wonderful. The open-air bath is just about the size of stretching your legs. You can spend a relaxing time looking up at the sky. At the beginning of OPENING, there were no trees between the private house and the inn, and the view was too good, but now you can only see a little outside through the gap in the vegetation at a height that does not bother the private house, and you can no longer worry about the line of sight opposite. Stay tuned for new photos. Of course, you can overlook the beautiful sea. There are 10 rooms in total. Four of them are dining rooms. The restaurant is a private room with a view of the mountain side. The room we are introducing today is "Shiun". ［ CONCEPT ］ <Auspicious pattern: Futatsumaru Ryu> × < Theme color: Blue blue> The dragon is revered as a god of water and has deepened people's faith as a symbol of protection and fertility. The powerful "Futatsumaru Ryu" is the design motif.

The desert of the moon with no one in the Coronavirus pandemic

Some photos of our trip to Sawara in Chiba Prefecture over the 3 day weekend a couple weeks back. On the way to Sawara we stopped at Chiba Station and had lunch at a place called Common Café. I order a burger not expecting a lot, but it was the best burger I've had in a long time actually. We arrived a bit late in Sawara and were kind of tired so we decided to just go to the hotel, shower and relax for a bit and then have dinner. We had a reservation at a French restaurant called Mougins and it ended up being a really great experience. After eating dinner we were headed back to the hotel and we heard some hayashi and cheering in the distance and we decided to check out what was happening. We found a dashi parading through the streets and they were stopping at different places to pick up alcohol lol. Apparently they'd been doing it every Sunday, I think since corona started. It was pretty cool to see though. The next day we went to check out the Sawara Historical District and after reaching our destination we decided to take a break at a cafe. We ordered a shaved ice and some sort of soda. They were both really delicious, especially the shaved ice. It was some sort of flavor using tea from Kyoto and milk. I forget what it was called exactly though. We also stopped by the former residence of Inoh Tadataka, the famous Japanese cartographer. It was quite interesting seeing where he lived. After visiting his residence, we to the nearby museum and learned about his life and everything he did. I was pretty blown away by how incredible he actually was. I was a bit surprised that I hadn't learned much about him when I was studying the history of Japan, but after visiting the museum I'm convinced he was truly a genius. Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures inside of the museum, but seeing all of the tools that he used to draw maps and learning how they worked was really interesting. On top of that, the maps he drew were unbelievably accurate. I think it mentioned somewhere that his maps were used until the 1900's, despite being drawn several hundred years prior. His cartography was only one of the endeavors he pursued as well. There were also some documents that explained how he helped his town get through the famine, and also documents detailing how he dealt with local lords imposing taxes on his town. Besides the museum, we also took a boat ride through the canal that ran through the historical district. The canal was quite nice, and you could see the historical buildings that lined the sides of it while going through it. We had to lower the cover on the boat for several bridges as the water level was quite high due to the recent rains, but that just made the experience even more memorable. The tour guide on the boat mentioned how when the canal was used back in the Edo period, it was incredibly busy and boats would have been bumping into each other constantly while passing through. During the boat ride through the canal I noticed some interesting statues on various lanterns and decided to check them out. They all turned out to be interesting and unique. We ended our trip by having a late lunch near the historical district. We had planned to take a train back to Tokyo but missed it by a few minutes. Fortunately, a bus arrived at the perfect time and so we rode that back to Tokyo. It was much better than the crowded trains. Overall it was a really good day-trip style excursion and I definitely recommend it! Managed to find 2 poke lids too!

My daughter studied abroad at Australia Gold coast last month and has not come back for a year and a half, so of course I am continuing the online English cram school, but I am coming to work at the inn as a live-inn! It is an inn called Rian in Kamogawa. If I don't keep myself busy, I'll 😂 only think about my daughter. It has been 17 days since I started working at the inn. Yesterday, I broke the boar mouth used at the inn, so I wanted to buy it and return it, so I 😌✨ visited the supplier's glass workshop. Main Glass Studio SUKIGALASS It's in the mountains, so come by car! No two glasses were the same, and they were ♡ lined with tasteful and beautiful glasses. Buy 💟 a plate for yourself The producer's uncle gave us a lot of information about the neighborhood. It may seem blunt at first, but he will talk to you about various things! Please 💞 stop by
