Ticking down slowly in Atami
Do you know what is “Sukiya Zukuri (数寄屋造り)” ? It is one of the Japanese traditional architectural style. “Sukiya” is not sukiyaki, it is built in the style of a tea-ceremony house. “Suki (数寄)” originally means delight in poems(waka), tea-ceremony, flower arrangement and those elegant pursuits. It means the house built accordance with their taste synonym for tea-ceremony house.
We stayed at Sukiya Zukuri hotel called “Seki-tei (石亭)” in Atami, Shizuoka prefecture. It is high class Onsen (hot spring bath) hotel. What a peaceful and beautiful place it is…
We stayed at independent spacious room with nice view. In the garden, there are many trees and stone lanterns.
Lounging in the extra touch outdoor bath, you will feel cosmos in the silence.
Ticking down slowly…

Hi, Mai
Thank you for new entry.
I think it’s really interesting how Japanese people are so comfortable being totally exposed in an onsen when they are known to be very modest in other public places….A lot of people would think that they want to visit here
If possible, would you paste Google Maps in your entry?
Enjoy writing about Slow Life!
