Ryokan in Atami 2

In the morning,she placed the English(Japanese) newspaper at the crack of the sliding door.
Next,she brought the morning tea first to arouse us and then served the lovely breakfast.
                                                        Ume-boshi(pickled plums) , boiled kelp and green tea.
                                                                     At times she prepares the meals at this small space.          
                                                                          Yukata(summer Kimono).
                                           After she holds all the Futon, they are stored in this closet.                           
                    The ceiling of the entrance has beautiful patterns made of reeds.                                          
                                                                                   
                                 Our suite had a private traditional bathtub made of Hinoki,Japanese ceda
                                                
                                     This is a power stone which was bought from Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture.
                                                                        
                               
                           This huge stone was bought from Kurama,the scared mountain village in Kyoto.
                           It has a famous legend of training to be a strong samurai (warrior) over 800 years ago.
                                             This stone called 'Water Stone' or 'Blue stone' had been placed in the
                                            deep sea in Ehime prefecture,Shikoku.You can see natural  imprints by the 
                                             the waves for thousands years .
