🏨🌊 Amazing Stay in Tsuruga + Discovering the Untouched Mizushima Island 🌴🚗

During my trip to Fukui Prefecture, I stayed overnight at the brand-new Dormy Inn Tsuruga, just steps away from Tsuruga Station 🚉. The place was super clean, modern, and really convenient. It was scorching hot outside that day, but the hotel’s AC was a total lifesaver! ❄️☀️ After a long day, I kicked back in their spacious onsen area — it was beautifully designed and so relaxing. They even had a sauna! 😌🛁 Later that evening, they served free ramen — which is kind of their trademark 🍜 — and it was the perfect warm snack before bed. Breakfast the next morning was delicious, with a great mix of Japanese and Western dishes. 🍳🍚 Once I checked out, I rented a car and drove to Mizushima Island, a small, stunning island just off the coast. A short boat ride took me to this quiet paradise with crystal-clear water, soft white sand, and hardly any people 🏝️✨. I swam, strolled around the island, and just soaked in the peaceful nature vibes. 🌿🌞 📝 Tips for visiting Mizushima Island: • No shops or restaurants on the island, just public restrooms. No vending machines either, so pack your own snacks and drinks. • Bring a small tent or picnic blanket if you want some shade. • Don’t forget a waterproof phone case, goggles or snorkeling gear, and a float if you plan to swim. • There are no rental spots on the island, so come prepared! • Bring flip-flops — the sand can get really hot around noon. This trip was the perfect combo of comfy hotel living and exploring untouched nature. If you’re ever in Fukui, I highly recommend staying at Dormy Inn Tsuruga and taking a day trip to Mizushima Island — totally worth it! 💙 #dormyinn #tsuruga #fukuitrip #japantravel #onsenlovers #freeramen #mizushimaisland #hiddengem #beachvibes #natureescape #traveltips
