Stroll Rendaiji Onsen and 1000 Hot Spa

We will take you Rendaiji Onsen, a small hot spring town in Shimoda City. First, we will take a 4-minute gondola ride to Nesugatayama Nature Park, which is covered by beautiful seasonal flowers. The observatory used to be a look out point for the famous black ships arriving from the United States. Here you will be able to see a magnificent view of Pacific Ocean. After the Nature Park, we will have an early lunch around Shimoda station, then walk about 45 minutes to Rendaiji Onsen area. We will stop by a pri-vately-owned backyard where you can see 300 weeping peach trees and the bloom of canola flowers. A few minutes from the garden is the histori-cal spot where SHOIN YOSHIDA, in the year 1854, took refuge before his attempt to steal a passage on a black ship. Look at the tricky but unique architecture of the building. Afterwards, soak in the hot spa of Kanaya Ryo-kan. They have “female only” hot spa and unisex hot spa. Their unisex hot spa is the largest Hinoki (Japanese cypress) bathtub in Japan and it’s called “Senin-buro” (bath for 1000 people). It is 20m/66ft long, 5m/16ft wide and the deepest part of the tub is 1m/3ft! Females are allowed to cov-er with bath towels to soak at the unisex hot spa. Enjoy the huge bathtub and the beautiful Japanese wooden architecture.
