Living in Japan|Initial D filming location: Ikaho Onsen

Winter trip to Japan, hot springs are not over. Today, the fourth episode is to visit the filming location of the movie "Initial D". Ikaho, a famous hot spring town in Japan, is still in the nostalgic Japanese style. I chose the Kishigon Ryokan, one of the three major hot spring hotels in the area with a history of 100 years. The hotel was founded in 1576. It is a well-known old hotel that has been in existence from the Muromachi period to the Heisei era. It is located in the middle of Ikaho Ishidan Street. The door is the very representative "Golden Bath Foot Bath" of Ikaho Onsen. Walking into Anquan, the entire hot spring hotel still maintains a very traditional atmosphere, but it is very different from the previous hot spring hotels. I like to call it the déjà vu of the Beijing Office in the 1980s. Check-in is done in the lobby bar. We were greeted by a foreign lady (I have met her twice in the past two days). She served refreshments and patiently introduced the various facilities of the hotel. The room is relatively spacious. Hot spring hotels usually offer one night and two meals. Dinner is quite colorful, but it is said that their breakfast is the best. I look forward to it tomorrow morning. Let's talk about hot springs. The spring water of Ikaho Onsen is rich in sulfates, which is very helpful for relieving muscle fatigue and beautifying the skin. Take a walk around the entrance during the day and take a relaxing bath after a kaiseki meal in the evening. It's really fun. A very unique hot spring hotel. If you come to Ikaho, I strongly recommend this hot spring hotel.
