Day 2: Sunrise Serenity and a Gorgeous breakfast

Around 6:00 AM, when I opened my eyes still in bed, I was stunned by a beautiful scene through the large window. The sun was about to rise.

It was still dark, but a thin orange-red layer was gradually becoming thicker, second by second. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

Eventually, the sun rose, painting the sky a burning red and transforming the dark port into the light of day.

It was so beautiful! How lucky we were to witness such a breathtaking view from the comfort of our room, and even more so from bed.

Delighted by the beautiful sunrise, we headed for breakfast.

We were treated to a gorgeous Japanese breakfast with a touch of local tradition. One highlight was Seiro-mushi, a steamed dish. It was a voluminous breakfast, but so delicious that we ate it all.

After breakfast, we went to Takegawara Onsen to experience the sand baths.

It was a unique and relaxing experience that added to the enjoyment of our morning. We started the day off wonderfully.
