Tsugaru Glass Ware, Tsugaru Bidoro

This glassware, referred to as "vidro (biidoro)," meaning glass in Portuguese, was originally created from the glass buoys used for fishing in the vicinity of Mutsu Bay. Sand from the Shichiri Shore, found on the west coast of the Tsugaru Peninsula, is used to create this glassware, which is hand-blown in the style that originated over 2100 years ago.

The glass is first fired at 1500 degrees, and then again at 1200 degrees, when it begins to take shape. After the second firing, the red-hot glass is taken out of the oven and blown again by filling the rod, to which the glass is attached, with air to force the glass to expand. At that stage, the glassware takes on its final form. This glassware, with both its colourful transparent qualities, is not only beautiful, but practical as well.

Yonago Daruma　米子だるま



　お年寄の生きがい事業として始めらたのですが、それが１０年以上も続き、今では「手作りだるま」として立派な郷土玩具になりました。
　制作は皆生（かいけ）温泉の「老人憩の家」の作業場で、老人の皆さんの手で作られています。

The Papermachee dolls of Daruma from Yonago are made by the members of the Old People's Club in Kaike Hot Spring Village. They started around 1980 and this has become quite a happy hobby for the elders.

Kaike Hot Spring at the Ocean Front

Yonago has two prominent onsens—at both ends of the price spectrum. The first is the Kaike Ocean Onsen. This one’s located in the heart of Kaike. It’s 1,100 yen, but that includes a large and small towel and a yukata (upon request). There are a couple indoor pools (hot and cold) and a large rocky rotemburo.
This one’s nice when it’s snowing—you’re in a hot pool though the air and precipitation are cold! There is a large relaxation area with recliners. Upstairs is a snack bar and entertainment area. This is somewhere you could bring a book and stay all afternoon!

Kaike Hot Spring is one of the top 100 places for viewing the Morning Sun !



日本の朝日１００選選考委員会、日本列島朝日の旅地域推進協議会の第１次選定地域７カ所（平成１２年）の一つに皆生温泉が選ばれました。

　皆生温泉から見る朝日は、国立公園・大山の方向から昇るため、雄大な山容がシルエットとなり、幻想的な風情を醸し出します。少し早起きして海岸線を散策 すると、潮騒の奏でるメロディーも心地よく、一層ロマンチックな気分に浸れることでしょう。　なお、皆生温泉は夕陽の情景も一見の価値があります。皆生温泉にお越しの際は、日の入り前にチェックインされることをお勧めします。
