Shawn and I managed to have a three night getaway to the Western Island of Shikoku two weeks ago. We stayed at Marriott' Renaissance Naruto Resort in Tokushima prefecture, an hour flight away from Tokyo. Naruto is internationally known for its unique natural ocean whirlpools and home to the second largest bridge in Japan. The hotel is beautifully located on the beach overlooking the bridge and has a pool and two onsen-hot spring baths. We ate all the local goodies at our favorite Japanese buffet restaurant on site almost three meals the day and still did not get tired! Great local produce and variety. At this hotel, people walk around in casual kimono called Yukata provided by the hotel to relax all day. I had Italian dinner in Yukata for the first time! Onsen is so nice it saves the soul. We loved it all!
