Hello! We are now home from our spa-weekend at Yasuragi, which was amazing. It was so relaxing, and the food was delicious. Here is a short review!
.☆.・∴.・∵☆:*・∵.:*・☆.☆.。.:*,★ :*・∵.:☆.。.:*・:*・∵.☆:*・∵.゜
We had booked something called “Harmony” that included:
- 2 bed room with breakfast buffet.
- Japanese christmas dinner
- Activities, e.g meditation, qi gong
- Japanese bath.
- Tea and fruit buffet.
- Yukata (bath robe), slippers and swimwear.
(We got to walk around in Yakutas all day! cozy) (￣∀￣)
The dinner buffet:
For starters we had various sushi and sashimi dishes, and they were servred as Kaiten Sushi where the plates with the sushi are placed on a rotating conveyor belt.
For the main course we also had several different dishes. We also has s personal chef at our table that cooked the food in front of us! and oh my god it was so delicious. remined me very much of the food I had when I was in Tokyo earlier this year.
We also had dessert, and it was a buffet as well. my favourite was a white chocolate mousse flavored with a japanese plum wine called “Umeshu”. Umeshu is my favourite liqueur, and I ordered some drinks with umeshu in the bar. I like it on the rocks (rokku de!) I used to drink it all the time when I was in Japan. But it’s soooo expensive here in Sweden (*´Д｀*)
But, of course, our favorite thing to do was to lay around in the Hot Springs in the bath area. They were outside, but the water was really warm so we could lay there for hours! soooo relaxing.
I didn’t have any treatments (massages or so) though, because they were kind of pricy.. They’re probably all worth it though, but I didn’t feel I could afford it right now. And my boyfriend is a massage therapist so he gave me lots of massage anyway. (´ω｀)♥
Well, this was my first spa experience ever, so I had a really great time! I will definitley go back sometime. ━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━!!♥♥

Waaah, luxury much to have a massage therapist for boyfriend!
God, the onsen looks just heavenly. Totally magic, like the ideal of what onsen should look like. It must be the cold weather that makes the water vaporize and turn into mist, right? I’ve only bathed in an outdoor pool (in the winter, haha) in Åre, and I kinda liked the contrast between hot water and icy, fresh air. :)
Looks like you had an awesome time! And as for the expensive umeboshi, maybe they only buy pricy and/or fancy brands at the hotel? Just guessing. :)
oh yes it is! I know how lucky I am ^^;; (although some of the things he need to do for practice really hurts ;___;)
it sure was heavenly! I completley lost track of time while lying there. good thing to have cold weather sometimes. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ♥
And about the umeshu (not umeboshi, I think that is something else?), as a consumer you haven’t been able to import Umeshu to Sweden until recently. I suppose companies has been importing it so you can buy it in bars or pubs but the prices are sky high! And to import it is also very expensive, at least when comparint it to the price in japan. but the taste, oh it’s so worth it! (･∀･)
