Chapter 7 : Shikoku & Okinawa Area: Feeling the Roundness of the Earth
7.1. Kochi Prefecture/Ashizuri Onsen Village: 270-Degree Grand Panorama
Ashizuri Sunnyside Hotel: Located at the southernmost tip of Shikoku, the open-air bath overlooking the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean offers a panorama so wide that the horizon looks round. Day-trip bathing hours are irregular, 16:30-23:00 and 6:00-8:00, so please time your visit accordingly.
7.2. Okinawa Prefecture/Ryukyu Onsen: Airport and Sunset
Senagajima Hotel (Ryujin no Yu): Located right near Naha Airport, it has a luxurious location where you can enjoy airplanes taking off and landing, the sea, and the sunset sinking into the Kerama Islands at the same time. It is open from 6:00 am to midnight, making it convenient for use right after arriving in Okinawa or before a flight.
Chapter 8 : Smart Usage
- If you want to view the "Spectacular Sunset" slowly, stay overnight: Many popular facilities reserve the best sunset time exclusively for overnight guests.
- If you want to enjoy "Unity with the Sea" easily, use large day-trip facilities: Places like Fuua in Atami or Tanayu in Beppu are well-equipped to accept day-trip guests and offer rental towels, so you can go empty-handed.
Chapter 9 : Conclusion: Find the "Sea" That Suits You Best
If you seek "openness like floating in the sky," choose a high-floor infinity bath. If you want to "be healed while listening to the sound of waves," choose an open-air bath at sea level zero. Please choose your next travel destination according to your preference.
In the coming season, the warmth of hot springs will feel even more penetrating. Please find your favorite ocean-view hot spring and refresh your mind and body!
