It’s been a while since I last visited Ena Beach✨I came here with my children two years in a row about 25 years ago.I remembered that the sea 🌊 was really beautiful and the fish 🐟 were delicious, so I made a reservation for the first time in a while. However, after checking out on the second day, I wanted to play in the sea, so I swam until around noon.The shower 🚿 was in the back, so I took a shower.There was no place to change, so I hid behind the car and changed clothes. When she came, she said, ``Please take a bath and go home!''This time, ``Is it impossible to take a bath? ``There's a shower outside, so please use it.'' That's all she said, ``Where should I change?'' Even though I said that, they pretended not to know me🥹I felt really lonely. I guess it's a bad idea to go to the coast where there are no beach huts or anything like that because it's hard to change clothes. It's a private beach and the sea is nice 🙂‍↕️ I can't come here ⤵︎ ︎ I said as I came back 😞

The building is from the Showa era, but the food was really delicious 🎵The sea is also a hidden gem. It's so beautiful that I don't want to share it with others.The room was on the mountain side because it was left to us.They changed us to the sea side. At sea againI was injured and the landlady gave me a Band-Aid.I had it pasted. Thank you for that section 🥰

When I go fishing for bigfin squid in Wakayama (Yura - Shirahama - Kushimoto), I use the Minato Ryokan or the Marriott in Shirahama. In Yura, we go raft fishing around Kuroshima, but every time we catch something, we decide to carry Gen and stay at the Minato Ryokan. The selling point here is definitely the food! I ate all the courses available at this inn, but the best was the kueh course. When I stayed there, he showed me his head saying he had found a good one, but it was so huge that I was so excited that I forgot to take a photo. It was absolutely delicious!I also had the bluefin squid that I caught myself cooked and served to me that evening. That's the great thing about fishing inns!The bath is a bit bigger than a normal bath, so it's difficult for a large number of people. Can three adults fit in without stress? It's a similar size.There is no refrigerator in the room. The toilet is shared.Each room has a single hallway with sliding doors, so you can hear voices from the next room. However, since it is a fishing inn, it is the type of inn where you go to bed early in order to go fishing early in the morning. We recommend that you take advantage of such inns.I will look forward to your help when I go to Yura again!

This time, I wanted to eat kueh nabe, so I searched a lot and ended up at Minato-san.The season for natural kueh was a little late, so I received Kindai kueh.In addition to the hot pot, the dishes include tempura, simmered, and other dishes that were really delicious. It was 😋The proprietress of the inn was also a really nice person, and we had a good time chatting with each other, and we had a great time together. Next time, I will bring my daughter and grandson! ️🫡The breakfast was delicious too! ️
