Hot spring at Himi

Seafood and hot spring are the reason to visit “Himi“, north part of “Toyama”.

Rich sea stream gives us tons of seafood.

Now we have a special long vacation in Japan.

So to speak “Golden week”, lovely long term vacation almost a week.

That is good timing to go far with an ordinary family because everyone is free.

I choose hot spring and seafood at Himi, little fisherman’s village.

It takes almost 4 hours to reach there.

Take Hokuriku Shinkansen Express to Toyama and switch to the local train to Takaoka and finally reach to Himi station.

Take a taxi to reach the hotel “Isopp“.

It is off season here so I enjoy everything on my own.

The whole day you can occupy the huge hot spring.

So relaxing and Artistic days.

You will refresh to have warm and fresh air.

Sazae at Himi

Raw body of a turban shell.

Mixed with seaweed and marinade.

Very good for Sake and beer.

Shabu-shabu of Hotaru squid

Hotaru squid is also famous and seasonal seafood here.

You can eat with Shabu-shabu, boil with hot water shortly by your favor.

It is malty sweet and fatty with a good flavor.

They have a strong flavor of the sea, western people do not like.

Fried flatfish

I recommend you to eat this.

It is a whole fish but you can eat that all.

It is crunchy and delicious taste and very natural.

There is no strong flavor.

Japanese fish and chips.

Sauteed mackerel

This is the fish for spring.

Just a seasonal one to eat.

Fatty and good flavor.

Almost full moon at Himi

I ate a lot.

Take off the room light.

You can see the almost full moon on the sea.

I thought it is like a picture of Rembrandt.

Fantastic and Artistic view of nature.

It was terrific to visit here to enjoy your life.
