Hayama, hot spring, shiatsu

The flight was more miserable than I remembered, I suspect because I was  exhausted from no sleep. It turns out that not sleeping before a flight is not a good jet lag strategy.

Thankfully Naoko picked me up in a car, and we drove directly to a public bathhouse. There, we took hot bath and salt sauna (still have salt in my ears!) 

They also have shiatsu massage, so I booked 40 minutes. Yes! Nothing ever hurt so good. It also got the kinks in my back out that I picked on the flight. The spa also has a family restaurant and you can buy fresh vegetables. This is the life and I met Naoko and Naohiro’s friends who were eating dinner there.

The next day, after fitful but welcome sleep, Naoko and a very wobbly me did a beach walk at Zushi Beach. The views of Mt. Fuji (Fuji-San).
