📍Kai Izumo/Izumo, Shimane Prefecture

Hoshino Resorts' hot spring inn "Kai Izumo" 𓂃𓃱𓈒𓏸 "Kawatare Terrace" is located in the most open area of ​​the hotel and can be used for free by guests 🌱 "Kawatare" means early morning, when it is still dim 👀 As the name suggests, the best time to come is at sunrise 🌅 With almost no obstructions, you can see Izumo Matsushima standing in the Sea of ​​Japan and the horizon, and the ever-changing colors of the sky and sea take your breath away 🫢🤍 The attached travel library also offers free drinks, so you can have a drink to wake up with. It was a blissful time ☕️ And the main thing was the hot spring ❕♨️ The spring quality was a "strong chloride salt spring" with a high salt concentration, and I felt a slight floating feeling and a pleasant tingling sensation on my skin 🙌🏻 The salt spring is reminiscent of the sea, and it is recommended to take a bath in the morning as a purification bath before visiting the shrine, as it is likened to "purifying salt" ⛩ Even so, the spectacular view of the open-air bath overlooking the sea was overwhelming and felt so good 😭👏🏻 After relaxing in the hot spring, we had a sacred offering breakfast 𓂑 𓌈 ‎ Shinsen is a meal of locally harvested delicacies from the mountains and seas offered to the gods, and it is said that eating the same meal as the gods will create a bond😆 And the Shinsen breakfast is not just this, it is also set with Kai's "local breakfast" Japanese meal set that incorporates ingredients and cooking methods that reflect the local color, so it is very filling👍🏻💯 By the way, the Shinsen breakfast is only available with a special plan, and that plan includes Kai's original Izumo Taisha guided tour👀 It's a very good deal plan that will take you to not only Izumo Taisha, but also Inasa Beach and Kaminomiya in a 2-hour guided tour, so be sure to check it out🤗 #Domestic travel #Hoshino Resorts #Izumo
