I stayed at the large hotel "Oarai Hotel" along the Oarai coast 🌟 Maybe because it was the weekend, there were many family guests and it was very lively! Before dinner, the specialty, the hanging monkfish cutting show is held in the lobby. Of course, it's free to watch! The man cuts it off while explaining each part one by one. I've eaten monkfish before, but it's the first time I've seen it so closely. It's quite a sight to see. And it's pretty gross, so it's likely to be a matter of likes and dislikes 😅 The freshly cut monkfish meat was served at the dinner buffet, so I enjoyed it ❣️ The hotel doesn't have a hot spring, but it has a large public bath where you can relax ♨️ Oarai Isosaki Shrine is also within walking distance, so it's recommended for a morning walk. If you're traveling to Oarai, please stay here! 📍 6881 Isohama-cho, Oarai-machi, Higashiibaraki-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture #IbarakiTourism #trip2022

Oarai Hotel's craft workshop - making aroma candles and photo frames is a luxurious trip moment where you can suddenly immerse yourself in "personal time". Colorful dried flowers and shells are lined up in the afternoon lounge space. First, choose your favorite scent and pour soy wax or gel wax into it to make an aroma candle. Float the flowers in the melted wax, and the sweet and gentle scent while it hardens will softly envelop your heart. The "fluffy" feel of the candle when it is removed from the mold and the soft warmth of the candle will make your heart flutter. Next is making a photo frame. The time spent arranging shells and nuts in the frame on a table in the lounge with the sea as a backdrop is like "trapping memories of the sea". With the support of dedicated staff and surrounded by quiet background music, it is a moment of concentration as you carefully finish your own art. Both experiences are short, lasting just 20 to 30 minutes, but the smell and feel after you stop making something, and the sight of the finished item, will leave a fond memory of your stay. The moment you hold the finished candle or photo frame in your hands, the warmth and story of what you made with your own hands will light up in your heart - it's a trip moment where you "connect with the object." #AbsolutelyFreeTravel
