Travel
Hoshino Resorts’ small-scale hot spring inns “Kai Anjin,” “Kai Ito,” and “Kai Enshu,” located in Shizuoka Prefecture, are promoting “micro tourism” as a way of traveling during the With Corona period.
In contrast to “travel” that imagines a distant place or overseas, “micro tourism” that visits within a short distance allows you to feel attachment and find new favorites by touching the goodness of the land again, which has never been seen before. You can enjoy a journey full of awareness.
3 Stay at a safe hot spring inn where dense avoidance and hygiene management are thoroughly carried out, through a kaiseki meal using ingredients familiar to the locals, and hospitality such as “local music” held at each facility every day , You can spend a day rediscovering your hometown. In addition, in order to promote casual use, we will also sell a “local limited plan” limited to Shizuoka citizens and a “single hot spring rest plan” that will make your stay alive.

Camellia oil is actively produced in Izu Oshima, which is close to the Izu region. At Kai Ito, you can experience this traditional camellia oil making and take it home in a bottle.

New summer orange with a refreshing sourness, which is a typical example of Izu citrus, is made into a soft jelly so that it is well entwined with the ingredients, and the whole is mixed well and tasted.

It is also a feature that you can enjoy the view of Lake Hamana from all rooms.
4. One-of-a-kind kaiseki meal “Unagi and avocado with wasabi”
The vinegared eel with cucumber, which is popular locally, goes very well and is called “Uzaku”.
