Go on a detox journey with morning yoga and hot springs at Aquaignis! Girls' night out at a very stylish facility that is popular on Instagram
掲載日：2018.03.19
Aquaignis is a comprehensive resort of healing and food located in Yunoyama Onsen, KomonoTown Mie Prefecture. Cleanse your fatigue with morning yoga and Kataoka Onsen, and recharge with delicious food prepared by famous chefs and strawberry picking! Aquaignis is a stylish hot spring resort that you can easily go to, recommended for girls' trips ♡
``Let's forget about work and refresh ourselves with hot springs and morning yoga!'' So we decided to take a girls' trip to Aquaignis, which is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Nagoya!
From Nagoya Station, take the Kintetsu train, change at Yokkaichi Station, and get off at Yunoyama Onsen. I rushed there after work and was able to arrive before daylight. It's only 2 minutes by taxi or bus or 8 minutes on foot from the station.
After checking in, we first enjoyed a welcome dessert of ``Confiture Ash'' by pastry chef Hirohiro Tsujiguchi.
The large open kitchen is stocked with cakes, baked goods, confitures, and more made with seasonal fruits and local ingredients. When it first opened, there were long lines every day and people talked about how difficult it was to buy something, but even now, five years later, it's still as popular as ever on Saturdays and Sundays. If you're staying overnight, you can buy souvenirs at Sokko the next morning when it's open and leave them at the hot spring front desk.
Ripe strawberries with high sugar content, which are not often available on the market, can be purchased here in super fresh condition in just 30 seconds from the house. Isn't this the ultimate luxury that celebrities can enjoy?
Can't wait! For dinner, head to Chef Masayuki Okuda's Sala Bianchi Al Kecciano.
Speaking of Chef Okuda, he is a super chef who has been selected as one of the ``1,000 Chefs of the World.'' Based on the concept of "local production for local consumption," the restaurant is known for its dishes that bring out the full flavor of ingredients from local producers.
The way to enjoy Okuda-style Italian cuisine is to "cook in your mouth," where various ingredients and seasonings prepared in various ways are arranged on one plate, and you finish the dish with your own mouth. Add wasabi greens to a salad using Spanish mackerel, or make a risotto oyaki-style, or create a more unique flavor by combining it with Japanese cuisine ♪ Wine goes too far... ♡
Kataoka Onsen, which has long been famous as a famous hot spring, is a popular hot spring that uses 100% free-flowing water from the source drawn from 1,200 meters underground without adding water, heating, or circulation.
The spring quality is a simple alkaline hot spring, and it is said to be a beauty bath that removes unnecessary dead skin cells and makes your skin smooth. The hot water is moderately thick and soft, and has an elegant feel with a slight sulfur smell. The hot spring water really feels like a hot spring, and it feels so smooth on your skin ♡
This is sure to be a repeat!
Hot spring for open-air bath? The open-air area is spacious and has plenty of room. At night, the bamboo forest stands out in the darkness, creating a mysterious atmosphere. In the morning, the bamboo forest sways against the blue sky, creating a refreshing view. Both are lovely.
The rooms in the accommodation building are traditional inn style (8 tatami Japanese-style rooms). Prices start from 13,200 yen per adult, including one night and two meals (two people occupying one room). At night, I lie down on my futon and enjoy the girls' talk.
After warming up my body in the hot springs, I went to the morning yoga class that I was looking forward to this time. Guests can use it for 500 yen (1,000 yen for "bathing + yoga" for day-trippers).
Guided by the instructor's gentle voice, you will gradually awaken every part of your body.
I'm a beginner, so I can't say anything special, but by consciously moving my muscles and joints in time with the rhythm of my breathing, I felt like I was awakening to every detail.
At the drink counter behind the front desk, I purchased the healthy juices ``Orenjin'' (carrot + orange juice) and ``Aonapple'' (green juice + apple juice).
I don't like vegetable juices, but this one was easy to drink and delicious. Increase your feminine power! Did you do it?
For breakfast, choose your favorite bread from the breakfast fee at the stone oven bakery ``Mariage de Farine'' and receive your breakfast set at the casual Italian restaurant ``Il Kecciano Miele.''
Japanese food is OK for breakfast, and you can also exchange the breakfast cost for bread.
After breakfast, I headed to TSUJIGUCHI FARM, a strawberry farm run by popular pastry chef Hirohiro Tsujiguchi, just to replenish my dessert supply.
Inside the house, it's very warm and you can experience an early spring. If you're into it, you'll sweat, so we recommend wearing clothes that you can take off and put on.
Mmm, so sweet! I can't stop eating snacks.
*Momo Kaoru and Oi C Berry may not be available for strawberry picking.
This information display is a distinctive feature of Aquaignis. Regarding the information about "toilet", do you understand what this means? You know that prams are for babies, and chairs with wheels are for people with disabilities. But what exactly do the upper left and lower right refer to?
If you look closely, you can see the word "WELCOME" on the hairpin! That thing in front of the woman was also on that information board.
It is said that a gecko is a guardian deity that protects the home, but where in Aquaignis is this child?
The answer is… Enjoy it locally!
The appeal of Aquaignis is that it has this kind of playfulness.
*Chef Tsujiguchi's ``Tsuji'' is correctly written as ``Ichiten Shinnyo''.
