Ikaho Onsen to Kusatsu Onsen in Japan
Japnese gourmet dinner in the hotel I stayed
I stayed at Kusatsu Hotel where was founded in 1913.
The original building was renovated and is still in use to today.
It has just been renovated and the inside is new and clean.
I paid extra 3,000 yen(about 20USD) for upgrade the room that is a corner room with the beautiful view.
The total price including dinner and breakfast is about 200USD.

[World Heritage Site of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina”Old Bridge area in the Old Town of Mostar”]
Mostar is a very beautiful city.
The “Old Bridge area in the Old Town of Mostar” is a World Heritage Site in Bosnia-Herzegovina and its central bridge, “Stari Most” was built in the 16th century during the Ottoman Empire.
The centerpiece of the bridge is the Turkish style arched stone bridge “Stari Most” built in 1566 during the Ottoman Empire.
Mostar is inhabited by Bosniak(Muslims) people and Croatian
people but during the Bosnian civil
War, Mostar was divided into east and west.
The west side was ruled by Croatian forceand the east side by Bosniaks.
On November 8, 1993, Stari Most was destroyed by the Croatian forces as a result of confrontation between the two forces.
After the conflict ended, reconstruction work on the bridge began in 1997 and was completed on June 23, 2004.
In 2005, it was registered as the first World Heritage site in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I stayed one night at Ikaho Onsen and stayed at Onsen hotel “Fukuzen”.
It’s a little far from the center of Ikaho Onsen, but it’s within walking distance. The building itself is not new, but it is clean.
The room is Japanese-style Tatami room nad we can also relax in the hot spring bath. The staff at the front desk is very helpful.
1 night 2 meals
Dinner is the Japanese gourmet dish with Joshu beef shabu-shabu in the room.
[Seafood dinner at Gajeta Restaurant in the old city of Dubrovnik, Croatia]
This is the last dinner in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
I had seafood at Gajeta Restaurat that is a back alley restaurant near the clock tower in the old city.
I ordered a Seafood Plate and PAN Croatian beer.
The seafood was large and meaty shrimp, squid, mussels, sea bass and potatoes.
Seasoned with salt and pepper. I topped it with lemon and sauce.
The portions were large and the taste was deliciouand it went well with beer. The terrace seats in the alley have the calm atmosphere.
The cost was 34 euro for the food and 7 euro for the draft beer. Total 41 euro.
