Round Ten

A town-run public bathhouse in the Hachijō-jima district. It is located in the mountains and you can not enjoy the view of the sea, but there are fewer tourists than other hot spring facilities, so it is recommended for those who want to enjoy a relaxing bath. The large-sized bathtub is made of a cypress, and although it is small, there is also an open-air bath. The spring is characterized by a sodium-chloride strong-salt spring, and the brown-brown hot water is salty when licked, making it hard to cool. In the break room, you can talk and exchange information with local people.

A folk art souvenir shop using an old private house that was set up more than 100 years ago. In the room where the tatami mats are laid, a wide range of items are displayed beautifully, from the store's original confectionery, island shochu, coral products, and miscellaneous goods, including a large selection of products from small items to cloth. Cat 540 yen ~ using a piece of Yellow Hachijo is popular at an affordable price.

"Huang Hachi-jo Sabre", which has a cute kimono shape, and a souvenir shop that produces and sells traditional crafts, Honba Hō-Hachi-jo, representing Hachijo Island. There is also a hand-woven experience corner, and under the guidance of craftsmen, you can make original work (3300 yen per point) with your favorite pattern. By actually moving the loom, it is also possible to know how the delicate-handled yellow-hachi is woven. A rug of about 12cm square will be completed in about an hour. It will be crowded depending on the season, so I want to go out after making a reservation.
