This trip was a family trip with my family of four. I have been to Mie Prefecture several times in the past, but I always stayed in Toba or Osatsu, so this was the first time I went all the way to Shima. The inn I chose for this trip was "Haifu", a hotel on the remote island of Wataranoshima, where all rooms have an ocean view open-air bath. Actually, this "Haifu" was a hotel that I had been very interested in when I was looking at other accommodations when I stayed in Mie Prefecture in the past. However, I thought it was a bit far to go to Shima, so I didn't make a reservation, so I chose it as my accommodation this time. It was such a long-awaited "Haifu", and in conclusion, staying there was a great decision! First, when we arrived at the parking lot of the inn, we were guided to the nearby pier, and from there we boarded a private ferry to the inn on the remote island across the shore. At this point, there was a sense of excitement that I didn't get at other inns, and my children were very happy. The whole facility was very clean, and there is a large public bath between the inn and its sister inn, Fukujuso, next door. The corridor connecting the two was very tasteful, and there was a beautiful garden, so it had a very nice atmosphere. This time we stayed in a 12.5 tatami room, which was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. We could see the ocean from the room, and there was a large private open-air bath on the balcony of the room. It was great to be able to enjoy the open-air hot spring bath while looking at the ocean whenever we wanted, and we took a bath both at night and in the morning. Also, meals were served at the restaurant, and dinner was served as a course, but the sashimi, soup, fish dishes, and meat dishes were all very delicious, and the children were very happy to eat. In this course, we had a plan to prepare a private room for dinner and breakfast, so it was very nice that the children could play there if they got bored. This time we only stayed one night, so we checked out the next day, but next time we would like to stay for a few days and explore the island. Thank you for a wonderful time.
