Izu peninsula

the Izu peninsula


is not on the usual tourist itinerary.  It has hot springs, but Hakone is more popular.
We enjoyed lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant.


















In the city of Izu we visited a shrine





soaked our feet in a thermal spring, tried wasabi ice cream (the area is known for wasabi)















and walked through a bamboo grove.





















Our real destination was a traditional Japanese inn.  A bit rustic rather than five-star, but the service, food, and serenity could not be beat.  No pictures from the thermal springs bath.
