Izu Ginsuiso | Facing the sea, colliding with dreams
| Facing the sea, colliding with dreams. Because of a photo of the sunset, I decisively booked Ginsuiso and was filled with anticipation for the trip to Izu.
We took the Izu Kyuko Line to Inatori Station (Figure 13) and then walked to the hotel. On one hand, we didn't have much luggage, and on the other, I like to walk around and explore unfamiliar environments. (If you have a lot of luggage or don't want to walk, you can take the shuttle bus provided by the hotel at the entrance of Inatori Station; if you can't find the shuttle bus, you can contact the hotel, and they will arrange a vehicle to pick you up, the latest by 7 PM).
Opening the door to the room felt like stepping into the world of Hayao Miyazaki (Figures 2-9): Japanese-style tones, tatami mats, and a full view of the sea, so beautiful it felt unreal! Sitting on the small sofa by the balcony (Figure 4), gazing at the Pacific Ocean, it felt as if the sands of time had stopped at that moment. In the evening, a staff member will come to make the bed (Figure 9).
The hotel offers 24-hour hot springs on the second floor (Figure 10). My friend and I changed into bathrobes and took a disposable bath package (including a toothbrush and disposable towel) to enjoy the hot springs. There are both indoor and outdoor hot springs, and it is recommended to go at dusk to enjoy the sunset while soaking.
The hotel provides different themed desserts, drinks, snacks, fruits, and alcoholic beverages 24 hours a day on the sixth floor (Figure 11). There is a row of seats facing the sea on the sixth floor, so if you want to enjoy both the food and the view, try to arrive early.

The buffet breakfast provided by the hotel is very rich (Figure 12). Sunshine, the sea, and delicious food start a day full of energy~!
