Luxurious moments in Tokyo and Hachijojima. A 2-day/1-night trip with former islanders.

Footbath Kirameki, located just a stone's throw from the fishing grounds of Aigae Port, is a footbath spot that soothes anglers and local fishermen. . It is effective for neuralgia, arthritis, and muscular pain. Hachijojima, a volcanic island, is also dotted with hot springs, and Nakanogo in particular is an area with a high concentration of hot springs.

After fishing, we always laze around here looking out at the ocean, talking about how the day's fishing went. But today was not good at all (laughs). But even if we didn't catch any fish, it was a pleasant time for me, so I'll call it good.

After that, KOZAKANA-kun guided us to "Uramigataki Falls," named for the fact that the falls can be seen from the back side. Just a short drive from the national highway, we were greeted by dense nature, like a jungle in South America.

I used to come here a lot with my grandfather . There are not so many people, and I love this place where I can soak up a lot of negative ions.

Incidentally, there is a popular open-air bath, Uramigataki Onsen, near the entrance to the waterfall. Admission is free. Since it is a mixed bathing area, visitors are advised to bring their own swimsuits.

The trip ends at Otchiyogahama Beach , where you can enjoy swimming in a safe and secure environment. The artificially enclosed tide pools allow visitors to enjoy swimming in a safe and secure environment. Many small fish swim here, so it is fun to observe them.

I haven't been here in about 10 years . . I used to come here a lot when I was little, and I used to play here all the time. I learned how to swim here, not in the pool. It brings back memories," KOZAKANA said as he floated on the surface of the water. When asked about his impressions of Hachijo-jima, which he hadn't visited in a while, he replied, "I really miss it.

. it was really great. . This is my home away from home, a place where I can reset myself. Every time I come here, the ocean and the wind wash away the excess in my body and mind. Also, as you can see, there is nothing here compared to the city center (laughs). There are few people, no convenience stores, and traffic is inconvenient. But the best thing about Hachijojima is that you can spend time without thinking about anything else, and that is a luxury.

A shopping spree or a gourmet trip is fine. . or a trip to the sights and sounds of the city. Getting a suntan on a white sand beach is also a good idea. But when you go to Hachijojima, I want you to experience something different from a busy trip that merely fulfills such objectives. Magnificent nature, time passing slowly, and kind people . Leaving myself to such encounters, I feel that I had the most relaxing time of my trip so far. After all, just sitting on the bench outside the supermarket, I was enveloped in a sense of euphoria. This is true.
