Jooly's European Escapade

"We’re all going on a summer holiday. No more working for a week or two. Fun and laughter on a summer holiday. No more worries for me and you. For a week or two. We’re going where the sun shines brightly. We’re going where the sea is blue. We’ve seen it in the movies. Now let’s see if it’s true. Everybody has a summer holiday Doing things they always wanted to. So we’re going on a summer holiday To make our dreams come true For me and you."

Ryokan

I spent one night in a Ryokan - traditional Japanese inn. A great insight into Japanese culture and a unique experience, but the communal bathing thing was pretty traumatic...

Simple room with tatami mat and futon bedding
Upon entry, take off clothes & shoes and put on provided yukata & slippers.
Landscaped garden at the ryokan
Elaborate kaiseki dinner served at the ryokan
