1 night 2 days romantic Japanese small town Tsushima Island travel itinerary
#Travel itinerary
I'll share some great tips on a 2-day, 1-night trip to Daema Island that you can take on the weekend!!
I have another trip planned in a few weeks, so a long trip that requires a lot of annual leave is burdensome, and a 2-day, 1-night trip in Korea is too boring.
There is no better alternative than Daema Island.
You can enjoy Japanese food and culture with a small-town feel even in a short period of time.
And the natural scenery is so beautifully preserved.
Daema Island 2-day, 1-night trip was truly the best memory given to us during our short vacation!!
Daema Island is largely divided into Hitakatsu and Izuhara, but we decided to focus on Hitakatsu because it was too tight to only see Hitakatsu in a 2-day, 1-night trip.
This is the first day's itinerary.
Day 1: MADO - Cafe Tsushima - Miuda Beach - Nagasanoyu Onsen - Shimamesiya Hoguto - Value Mart Hitakatsu - Toyoko inn Tsushima Hitakatsu
MADO _ As soon as you arrive at Hitakatsu Port by boat, there are many waiting lines at many stores. We chose the nearby Mado, which was clean and somewhat suited to Korean tastes. The staff was friendly and spoke simple Korean.
CAFE TSUSHIMA _ This is a cafe located right near Mado. The interior is clean and has a nice feel to it. The coffee tastes great because it is crowded with people. Since it is connected to Mado, you can get a discount on coffee if you have a receipt.
MIUDA BEACH _ This is the best highlight tourist spot in Hitakatsu. As soon as I got there, I was amazed by the beautiful color of the ocean. The emerald sea is beautifully spread out and the water is so clear. There are free shower facilities and restrooms on the beach, and they are very clean. If you spread a mat in a pavilion, you can avoid the sunlight. Also, there are several cute food trucks near the entrance. Since it was a food truck, I didn't expect much, so I ordered draft beer, but it was so delicious. I definitely recommend you try it when you go.
Nagasanoyu Onsen _ If you go up the hill from Miuda Beach, you will find Nagasanoyu Onsen. If you pay the same-day fee and go in, you can enjoy the hot spring while looking at the beautiful scenery of Hitakatsu. It's so nice that you can wash up right after playing in the sea. If you visit Miuda Beach, be sure to try it.
Shimameshiya Hoguto _ After the sun set, I took the hotel shuttle back to Hitakatsu Port in the evening. Since Japan is famous for izakayas, I was really looking forward to it. I visited on Sunday and didn't make a reservation in advance, so I couldn't go to many places... After looking around hard, I found a gem of an izakaya. Fortunately, I was able to wait. The staff were also very friendly. The food was all delicious, so I ordered several times and the price was reasonable. Be sure to visit when you have a drink in the evening.
Value Mart Hitakatsu Branch _ Actually, I went to the shuttle and did some shopping first. I had to buy snacks to eat at the hotel, but since it closes early, I recommend buying them in advance. Since I went late, most of the delicious food was sold out.
Toyoko Inn Tsushima Hitakatsu Branch _ After finishing the first round at Shima Meshiya Hoguto, I went to the pick-up location at the appointed time and the hotel shuttle came. I took it and went back to the hotel and started the second round. There were tables and comfortable chairs in the lobby, so I was able to enjoy the food I bought at the mart in a pleasant atmosphere. There was also a vending machine selling alcohol in the lobby, so I was able to eat as much as I wanted without any worries.
The interior of the hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. The view of Tsushima from the hotel was so pretty. It seems to be the best accommodation in Hitakatsu. Plus, it is close enough to walk to Miuda Beach.
Day 2: Okabe Restaurant - Ice Cream Vending Machine - Konbira Ebisu Shrine
Okabe Restaurant _ A restaurant run by an old couple, it feels like a country grandmother's house. The omelet rice was so delicious, and the grandmother took good care of me with her tsundere charm. The interior of the restaurant is also decorated with an old-fashioned restaurant interior. The warmer atmosphere than Mado was my taste.
Ice Cream Vending Machine _ There are many vending machines in Japan, but the ice cream vending machine was especially amazing. I was very satisfied because the ice cream was cheap and the quality was good.
Konbira Ebisu Shrine _ Konbira Ebisu Shrine overlooking Hitakatsu has traditional Japanese shrine gates all the way up, so I could really feel the Japanese sentiment. When I got to the top, I could see Hitakatsu at a glance in the clear air.
I visited on Sunday, so I couldn't eat many delicious restaurants. I highly recommend Saturday over Sunday! And since there are many delicious restaurants, if you mix and match your preferences and make reservations, you will be able to complete a fulfilling 1 night 2 day trip itinerary!!
