This was our second stay and this time we stayed for 2 nights. We like the spacious twin room with 47 sqm. On the first night we had traditional Japanese Kaiseki dinner, whereas we picked an Italian dinner course with nice wine pairing on the last evening. The staffs recognized us and we really had some good chats.
The resort has some outdoor sport facilities like golf, tennis etc. though we only joined the morning yoga session once.
Day 4 – drive along Shima coastline. Had Italian lunch in Spanish resort with lovely bayview.
D5 drove to Matsusaka. Visited Matsusaka castle ruins and nearby former Samurai residence. Returned car then went back to Nagoya by train.
Picked up rental car on D2 in Ise. Visited Kawasaki area which used to be a warehouse area along a stream. Had a stroll around the morning market. Drove to Toba town, had lunch there. Skipped the Mikimoto HQ where we visited in our last trip.
D3 – drove to Shima. Re-visited old and new observation points in the beautiful Shima coastline with plenty of estuaries. Had delicious Italian lunch in Ichigohama, with a beautiful beach and sea as blue as in Cote d’Azur !!
