Car No. 4 is a two-story cafe car with a passageway on the side. The upper floors are popular for their great views, but the lower floors seem to be just as relaxing. The strawberry cake looks delicious, too. what. Next to me is a Western-style private room. And we came back to our room.

I will visit here later. For some reason, everyone seems to be interested in my room. Everyone is interested in that one slightest smear of paint. The train station guy taking pictures of my window. wow! It seems like he is concerned about that small paint mark. The sea is so blue.

My feet are warm, The sun is warm, my eyes are becoming… WTH, Spain? We are finally arriving at our final destination. Yes, perfectly on time. Look at that Pokeball-looking train. We just arrived. Thank you very much for a comfortable journey of about 3 hours. Thank you paint the amazing journey.

Arrived a few hours before hotel check in. what should I do now? Hmmmm A scenic cruise if it’s 1700 yen, let’s try this. Here is our cruise ship. Here is our real cruise ship. It seems like the G7 ministers’ boarded last year. Let’s go. I haven’t done any research,

So I don’t know where this ship will take me. Let’s see if this guy knows anything. As silent as a tomb. This person seems to have found something. They seem pretty busy. There is also a cafe inside. There are also special paid seats in the back. We are off now.

I’m a sailor today. Looks like it’s going to be a good voyage. This area is famous for pearl cultivation. The farmer is planting “seeds” for the pearls to grow. very cool. wowza it seemed that this cruise was surprisingly popular. Now let’s head to the hotel.

I was supposed to make a bus reservation. It’s about an 11-minute walk. We’ve made it. The hotel fee is 13000 yen. Yukai Resort Shima Ayacho Raku. You can choose your favorite yukata. Our room is 1502. Open Shima Sesame Seed. oh no, THIS ROOM IS SO SMALL. WTHHHH Closet. You must be kidding.

Here is the washroom, bathroom, and toilet. It’s a B-tier standard toilet. It’s relatively new. It looks generally good. Guess I’ll be sleeping here Aaaaaaaaaaaaa I almost bamboozled myself The bed is already made. How about the view? Now that is a great view nice weather too. The breeze feels great

I like tatami mat. Hisense. The clothes I wear over my pajamas are also cozy. I tried them on. There is also hotel information. This hotel offers one night and two meals. There is also a variety of other information such as the large public bath and sauna.

Now let’s take a little tour around the building. On the second floor, there is a karaoke corner (for a fee), a manga corner(free) a table tennis, billiards. There is also a large public bath, I would like to take a bath later. Massage machine The ice cream vending machine. Free vibrating mat.

The dinner is about to start. Let’s go to the dinner venue. Dinner seems to be buffet style. Let’s see what kind of food we have. There’s a barbeque grill on each table. I wonder what that’s all about. These are for meat lovers. There’s a lot of meat, sausages, as well as seafood.

Oh, there are vegetables, so I have to eat them. And the sashimi, such as tuna and yellowtail, looks fresh. There is also a wide selection of sushi. There are so many things I wanna try.. What’s this? You will also get some mysterious food. You can even make your own ramen here.

There seems to be a variety of drinks to choose from. This is my first round. Let’s enjoy! Solo Solo Yakiniku Time. While grilling, I’ll have a squid nigiri. It’s more delicious than I expected. LOOKING GOOD There are also side dishes such as kimchi, try to enjoy them together.

Next time I will prepare white rice and Try Solo Solo Special Donburi! D E L I C I O U S steamed pudding dessert paradise There is also chocolate fondue. So, I chose ice sorbet. yum yum Let’s go back to the room now. My eyelids are heavy.

The tatami mats and futons are very comfortable. good night people. good morning. The weather seems great today. Let’s go have breakfast. I wonder what awaits us today? Tofu soup? Japanese cuisine includes a variety of vegetable side dishes, and Western cuisine includes many types of bread and meatballs.

They also have a wide range of fruits, but I was drawn to this one. It’s about time to make a special tuna bowl. Done. It looks so good. Itadakimasu. Finally, let’s make rice with tea. mix mix mix good Thank you for the meal. This room was also very comfortable. Gotta go, train’s coming

Thank you for the wonderful stay. Let’s go to Ise City from here. Here is today’s train. This is my car This is my seat. Thank you for yesterday, bye. I arrived at Iseshi Station. Am I staying here today? First, let’s check in to the hotel. This hotel fee is 11300 yen. Rental cycles.

But it’s almost closing. I’ll be back tomorrow. So today… I’ll take the bus. Let’s go to Ise Jingu. one of the most important and sacred Shinto shrines in Japan. Ise Jingu consists of two main shrines: Naiku (Inner Shrine) and Geku (Outer Shrine). Today I’m going to the Outer Shrine.

But before the shrine is Okage Yokocho. Basically YouTube ads before the video, but offering a glimpse into Japan’s rich historical and cultural past. It seems like you can enjoy a variety featuring shops, food stalls, and souvenir vendors. This is the famous “Akafuku” Mochi store. The Akafuku set has arrived. (350 yen)

I’ll try it for the first time. Akafuku is a famous Japanese mochi sweet, its origin is said to date back over 300 years in Ise City. It is believed to bring good fortune when consumed. I feel fortunate already. The banks of the river are peaceful. So what’s next? Let’s try here.

Savory mochi stick. (350 yen) Let’s try. this one is sweet. let’s try out this darker one. It has a striking bitter taste. It feels very concentrated, I am not use to this kind of taste ahhhh A FLY. SOMEONE HELP ME. Next, let’s try this fake meat stick.

Aka wet cracker on a stick. A sweet and salty, soft rice cracker. Thank you for the food. next? This looks good, …. I’m the type of person who trusts my intuition. Matcha ice cream is 350 yen. delicious. Now, let’s go to Ise Shrine. Bow once and pass through the large torii gate.

Let’s cleanse ourselves. I especially need to cleanse myself. lol After visiting various annex shrines, we finally arrived at the main shrine. No more recording is allowed. Another thing Ise is known for is its udon noodles, Let’s try the famous udon noodles. Ise famous udon is 600 yen. Here it is.

The soup is very dark, almost like a sauce. Contrary to its appearance, it is surprisingly light. Thank you for the meal. I’m back at the hotel. A very simple room Oh noooo. I booked the smoking room help me. Looks like it’s breakfast time. Buffet breakfast. We can order eggie dish.

I like an omelette. You can also try udon here. The croissant is ready. It’s a blend of Japanese and Western food. It’s pretty good. Thank you for the meal. I’m thankful for the nice weather today. And today… Let’s ride. First off, go to Futami Okitama Shrine. This is the famous rock.

Those two rocks out there in Japan who’ve been holding hands for centuries, proving that even in a world of online dating and social media, sometimes you just need some good old-fashioned rock-solid commitment! Also frogs! Next is…lunch. I’m back at Okage Yokocho Since Matsusaka beef is famous around the world,

You will see the word “Matsusaka beef” everywhere. Which one should I choose? Limited edition seems good. They didn’t have the ¥2,860 set The next available meal is ¥4,290. AAAAAAAAAAHH “Do I leave this restaurant?” lol Well, there are probably other delicious places as well. I like the old-fashioned atmosphere. The prices are also reasonable.

Now what? Oooooooooooooooooo, the high quality beef bowl is complete. I’ll enjoy having this. It was wonderful. 1200 yen happiness. Thank you for the meal. Thank you, Okage Yokocho. Let’s go back to the hotel. I’ll nap for a bit. It’s already dark. I will enjoy “Matsusaka Beef” again this time.

But it looks like it close today. Izakaya? I don’t think so. Oh, it looks like there’s a store in another location as well. It doesn’t seem that far, so let’s go. I found it. Exciting. Okay, let’s order. The A5, A4 Matsusaka beef beautiful. ¥1,540 Beef hormone ¥550 Let’s have Matsuzaka beef.

Solo solo yakiniku = Matsuzaka beef = top-notch. Suprisingly cheap for the quality that is being offered. It is exquisitely delicious. Hormones are also jiggling. Instead of changing the net, you can use ice cube to clean it. This is a smart method. It makes sense. When I grilled it on the clean grill,

Looks wonderful. It was really delicious. Thank you, Matsudaka Ushi. It was truly a master craftsmanship. Thank you very much. And thank you for always watching.
