- Shizuoka Atami-shi Izusan 604-10
- Hashiriyu is a hot springs source located in Izu-yama, Atami City. One of only a handful of hot springs in Japan where the water gushes out of the rocks horizontally rather than vertically, the modern name “Hashiriyu” (“Running Spring”) derives from the appearance of the water, which appears to be rushing towards the sea. Hashiriyu has a long history, having been discovered around 1,300 years ago; prior to the Meiji Restoration, it was a sacred hot spring associated with the Izusan-jinja Shrine. It is ranked as one of Japan’s “Three Great Ancient Springs.” Currently, around 7,000 tons of water flows out of the springs every day.

宿泊先の熱海後楽園ホテルから朝食後歩いて向かいました。旅行先で散策するのが大好きなので、丁度良い距離でした。曇り空で肌寒く、到着後温かい蒸気に癒されました。温泉の沸き出る勢いに自然の力強さを感じました。歩いて向かわれる方は、走り湯へ降りて行く坂は結構急ですので、帰りはそれなりに覚悟してください。

夕陽が素晴らしいと聞いて、足を延ばして来てみました。駐車場完備と聞いていましたが、コロナ禍でもたくさんの人が来ていたので、必然的に路上駐車の嵐．．．通常の土日だったらもっと混んでいたのでしょう。お天気に恵まれ、夕陽は本当に素晴らしかったです。

- Sanshiro Islands
- Travel / Tourism
- Shizuoka Pref. Kamogunnishizuchou Nishina
- Located roughly 200 meters off the Nishi-Izu coast, “Sanshiro Islands” is the collective name for the four islands of Denbei Island , Nakano Island, Okinose Island, and Taka Island. The name “Sanshiro Islands” (“Three-Four Islands”) derives from the fact that, depending on which angle you view the Islands from, there sometimes appear to be only three islands, rather than four. On days when the tidal level is less than 30 centimeters, during the period between roughly one hour before low tide and one hour after low tide, a “tombolo” causeway appears that connects the Sehama Coast to Denbei Island; this tombolo has been designated a Prefectural Natural Monument. The tombolo can be seen during the daytime between February and mid-October (the exact times vary from day to day).
