Enjoy sauna with ocean view!Sauna date trip where you can enjoy sauna activities with your boyfriend alone [Ruriiro Hills Awaji]

On that day, I drove to the facility from his home in Osaka.It takes about an hour and a half from my home to Minami-Awaji City.
After getting off the Seidan Mihara IC on the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway and driving for a while, the view opened up and I was on a road along the coast!The weather is nice and you'll instantly feel like you're at a resort.
As I continued driving along the coast, I saw tents lined up on a hill overlooking the ocean.It took about 10 minutes to get to the facility after getting off the expressway.

Upon arrival, check in at the administration building.The staff member who helped me was a young man, but he was always smiling and very friendly.
The ``Ruriiro Tent'' we reserved was a room with a sauna, so they carefully explained the facilities in the room and how to use the sauna.

According to the staff, a container right next to the administration building has become a corner called ``Saime Shokudo,'' which guests are free to use.
You can make free flavored soda with the carbonated water displayed in the container and your favorite syrup (lemon, peach, strawberry, green apple), or purchase paid drinks such as Oronamin C and Pocari Sweat to make various sauna drinks. There was a wide range of services perfect for rehydrating and drinking after the sauna, including all-you-can-drink craft beer (3,000 yen).
I also found services such as Mesting Gourmet (500 yen), where you can make your own ramen using the outdoor gear Mestin, and Noodle Bar (free). ``I definitely want to use this!'' My boyfriend and I are looking forward to the post-sauna drinks and sauna service.

In front of the administration building is an observation plaza overlooking the ocean, and beyond that are dome tents.All of the tents are facing the ocean, so I was excited and thought, ``I'm sure you'll be able to see the ocean from your room!''It's a great location where you can see the ocean from anywhere in the facility.
The tents were well separated and a sufficient distance was maintained from other guests, so we were able to enjoy a private and open environment during our stay.

When I entered the Ruriiro Tent room I had booked, I was greeted by a cute French chic interior.There are also hanging chairs that will make you feel like you're at a resort.
I thought it would be a great place not only for couples like us to travel, but also for glamping girls' parties and sauna girls' parties here.

The bed in the center of the room is placed facing the sea, so you can enjoy the ocean view while lying on the bed.When we went, it had only been open for two weeks, so we had a clean and comfortable room.
It's also great that amenities such as room wear, towels, toothbrushes, and hair dryers are provided in the room.

A dedicated gazebo (container) is installed next to the tent, which can be used as a dining space, as well as a toilet, shower room, and wash basin.A private barrel sauna was installed on the deck near the gazebo.
The gazebo is a two-story building, and if you go up to the rooftop, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the ocean from a higher place.As I was basking in the sea breeze, I felt like I had the sea all to myself!

After checking the inside and surroundings of the tent, the two of us immediately started "Sa-katsu" which is the purpose of this trip!Change into your swimsuit and head to the Finnish barrel sauna on the deck.
When I entered the sauna, the temperature was already at the right temperature, so I didn't have to wait for the temperature to rise and was able to use the sauna right away.This time we brought our swimsuits, but apparently sauna hats and ponchos can be rented for a fee.

I'm new to saunas, so I started using saunas while learning a lot from him.There is a large window inside the barrel sauna, so you can thoroughly sweat away while enjoying the ocean view.
After a while, he said, ``Let's enjoy Roryu!'' and poured water on the sauna stone in the center of the sauna room. Steam is generated with a “ju!” sound!The temperature inside the sauna suddenly becomes high and you start to sweat.
According to him, the best part of the Finnish sauna is the loryu.Since it was a private sauna, I was free to adjust the timing and number of rows, and the temperature of the sauna, so I could enjoy it as I liked.

Under his instructions, ``Be sure to stay hydrated while taking an outdoor bath!'' I rehydrated with a sauna drink I got from Sahan Shokudo.
I had a free peach flavored soda, and he had Oronamine C + Pocari Sweat called Oropo.We sat on the chairs provided on the deck and enjoyed the outside air.
Take a break while listening to the sound of the waves and the sea breeze in the sea of ​​Awaji Island that stretches out in front of you.I forgot about the busyness of everyday life and had a relaxing time.
``If you repeat this many times, you'll be able to experience Totono,'' he told me.

The ingredients are delivered after 17pm, and you are then free to prepare the food whenever you want.After enjoying the sauna and taking a breather, we fired up the BBQ stove and started cooking around 18pm.
We have a wide selection of delicious local ingredients and dishes, including exquisite Awaji beef sirloin steak, Awaji pork steak, Awaji pork frankfurter, whitebait salad, and three types of skillet dishes (bouillabaisse, ratatouille, camembert cheese fondue).

For dinner, we will use the gas BBQ grill installed in the Gazepo BBQ space.The BBQ space in the gazebo also has an ocean view, and when you open the door facing the deck, you can feel the openness and outdoors!We enjoyed a glamping BBQ while enjoying the view of the sunset sky and the sea breeze.

The grilled meat was tender and juicy, and the bouillabaisse was full of the delicious flavor of seafood.We enjoyed an exquisite glamping BBQ.My boyfriend, who loves meat, was very satisfied with the meat, and I was always in a good mood with the colorful and stylish skillet dishes!
We booked the standard BBQ plan, and it had plenty of Awaji Island's specialties, and the portions were just right.

After eating dinner and taking a short break, he said, ``If you go to the sauna a little before bed, you can sleep soundly!'' and we started our second sacrament!This time, I could see the stars from the window, sweat while looking at the sea in a different way than during the day, and I was able to have the ultimate L'Olya experience at night as well.

Cool down with a shower, lie down on deck chairs, and enjoy the outside air while looking at the starry sky.The night breeze felt so good that I went up to the rooftop.At night, the inside of the facility, as well as the walkways and rooftop of the gazebo, were lit up with solar lights, creating a magical atmosphere.In contrast to the outdoorsy atmosphere during the day, you can enjoy a slightly more romantic atmosphere at night.

After that, I thought about eating the Mestin Ramen that I received as a bonus for dinner, but I was so full from the glamping BBQ that I decided to take the bag of ramen home.Perhaps due to the effects of the sauna, I fell asleep quickly that day and slept soundly.

When I woke up a little early the next morning, he urged me to take a sauna in the morning, so I went to the sauna for the third time.He says that the morning sauna turns his body on and off.
This time, I was able to work up a sweat while watching the sunrise from the barrel sauna!The flavored soda you drink after taking a shower will soak into your body.This instantly puts your body into active mode.
I was able to use the sauna as many times as I wanted, so it was a valuable sauna experience where I could see different views depending on the time of day I entered.

Breakfast is delivered to your room in the evening, and you can eat it whenever you want the next morning.After soaking in the sauna, we had a leisurely breakfast.Breakfast after refreshing in the sauna was great.
The menu features cute-looking bagel sandwiches. Lightly toast the bagels on the BBQ stove, then sandwich them with plenty of toppings.I ended up with two types of bagels, salmon and berry, so I cut each in half and enjoyed both flavors.
I especially liked the salmon bagel with basil sauce!The local Awaji Island yogurt was also smooth and delicious.
Although the morning breeze was a bit cold, we opened the glass door of the BBQ area fully and enjoyed breakfast while being blown away by the sea breeze.

After checking out, we drove along the coast and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so we decided to stop by Kashu Hachiman Shrine, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Minamiawaji City, and enjoy the cherry blossoms before heading home.
This time, he was in a room with a private sauna, so he was able to use the sauna as many times as he liked until checkout, which made him very satisfied as he loves saunas.I was also able to enjoy a luxurious sauna date at a location with an ocean view, and I think I'll become addicted to saunas.It's nice to be able to take a sauna together while enjoying the view!I would like to come back to enjoy the sauna again.
