Sagatani Shinjuku Keio Mall
Today, I came to Shinjuku to take a highway bus to a certain place.
The current time is around 7:00 AM.
The bus departs at 7:35, and it takes about 20 minutes including the time to get to Busta Shinjuku.
Although it's a short time, let's eat breakfast.
So, I decided to go to the stand-up soba restaurant ``Sagatani Shinjuku Keio Mall” I visited.

Although this is a stand-up soba restaurant, you can enjoy 100 percent soba noodles.
This time, “Tempura Soba (Hot) (600 yen)” was selected.
You can choose between cold and hot for the same price.
If you want to really feel the flavor of the soba, you should choose the cold one, but it was still winter and it was cold in the morning, so I chose the warm one.
For 600 yen, I was very satisfied with 100 percent soba, tempura, and all-you-can-eat wakame.
express bus
After dinner, we will move to Busta Shinjuku.
Board the Shinjuku-Gotenba/Hakone flight departing at 7:35 a.m. and head to Gotemba Station, the first destination of the day.
The fee is 1,800 yen.
If you get off at Gotemba on the Tomei Expressway, there will be a shuttle bus to Gotemba Premium Outlets, and I get the impression that most people use this bus.
There are 4 rows of seats, with normal seat spacing.
I don't think the area next to you will be full unless it's a Saturday or Sunday.
Seat equipment included a plastic bottle holder and a USB Type-A port.
The charging speed of USB Type-A is quite slow, so it's better than nothing. . That's what it felt like.
Although I didn't use it this time, there is also a toilet inside the car.
Fuji Gotemba Distillery
The planned arrival time was 9:20, but due to traffic jams along the way, we ended up arriving at Gotemba Station around 9:40.
After that, I boarded the free shuttle bus at 9:50am and went to ``Fuji Gotemba Distillery” I visited.

I visited last year as well, but I was able to see exhibits that weren't there or weren't operational last year, so it was a very satisfying visit.
Momonakaken
After the tour, we took the free shuttle bus back to Gotemba Station.
I was barely able to catch the 12:27 train to Numazu, but I wanted to skip this one.Momonakaken Gotemba store” I decided to visit.

『Mishima croquette soba (510 yen)” I asked.
This is a croquette that has the sweetness of potatoes, pepper, and meatiness.
I wonder why?
It might not seem like a good combination at first glance, but croquette soba is delicious.
Kitaguchi-tei
After eating, we boarded the train and arrived in Numazu in about 30 minutes.
Walk for about 10 minutes from Numazu Station to the place you are looking for.Numazu Gyoza (Dumplings) store Kitaguchi-tei”.

This is a Gyoza (Dumplings) restaurant that uses a unique cooking method of baking and then boiling.
Of course 'Gyoza (Dumplings) Medium 8 pieces (1,120 yen)” I will order.
Since it is baked, it has a nice aroma, and like MizuGyoza (Dumplings), it has a chewy skin that gives it a nice flavor.
I was able to receive Gyoza (Dumplings) for the first time in a while, which moved me so much.
Sawayaka Shin Shizuoka Cenova store
After dinner, we will move from Numazu to Shizuoka.
To get from Numazu to Shizuoka, you can either use the conventional line from Numazu, or you can move from Numazu to Mishima and then use the Shinkansen.
Since I didn't have a Shinkansen at a good time, I took the conventional line and arrived at Shizuoka Station in about an hour.
I was asleep most of the time, so we arrived in no time.
As soon as you arrive,Sawayaka Shin Shizuoka Cenova store”, but was told that the distribution of admission tickets for today has ended. .
*Visit in 2024

Suruga Castle Park
Another purpose wasSauna ShikijiI thought about going to Shizuoka Station, but it's far from Shizuoka Station and it's crowded and you'll have to pile up if you can't get in, so I decided against it this time. .
*Visit in 2024

I visited Suruga Castle Park to kill time.
The castle tower was burnt down in 1635 and has not been rebuilt since then, so today only the gate and turret remain.
After walking around for a while, it was time for the bar to open, so I headed to the bar.
Matsumoto
I was curious about ``Matsumoto” I visited Mr.

What was impressive was this “OMC Tam Dew 1998-2018 Refill Hogshead”.
It had a nice dry feel to it, but still had a tropical feel to it.
Bourbon Tam Dew itself is rare, but I think it will become even rarer if it is aged for over 20 years.
We had a lot of other drinks and had a great time.
Menya Makoto
I was thinking of going to one more place, but I was pretty drunk, so I decided to end my visit here.
So, there was a nearby ``Menya Makoto” I visited.

『Dried sardines ramen (850 yen)” was selected.
Dried sardines.
It was so delicious that I couldn't help but drink it all.
Hotel Capsule Inn Shizuoka
This time we will stay at ``Hotel Capsule Inn Shizuoka” and check in.

Since all I want to do is drink and sleep anyway, I always stay at a capsule hotel.
Although the name of this hotel is a capsule hotel, it is a room type rather than a regular capsule hotel.
Since it is a room type, you can stand up and change your clothes or organize your luggage.
It doesn't feel oppressive compared to regular capsule hotels, and I think it's easier to stay.
There is only a bed, locker, and TV in the room.
There is also an outlet, so it is a capsule hotel in terms of facilities.
The same thing as a capsule hotel is that the top of the room door is open, so the room is not completely closed.
From here, if other rooms have lights on, you can feel the light and hear sounds.
The lockers are locked, but the room itself is not.
However, there is only a shower room and no public bath or sauna, so you may either like or dislike this place.
By the way, there is also a women-only floor, toilet, and shower, so even women can stay with peace of mind.
This time, I made a reservation from the official website and was able to stay on Friday for 3,960 yen per night, so I think it's the lowest price if it's near Shizuoka Station.
『Rakuten TravelYou can also make a reservation from `` ``, and the lowest price starts from 4,000 yen.

I think it's best to make a reservation from the website for the cheapest price, but if you want to use points or increase the SPU multiplier,Rakuten TravelI think it would be a good idea to make a reservation from .
After checking in, take a shower.
After 8pm, I decided to lie down and take a little break before heading out into the night. .
I just fell asleep. .
That's the end of the first day.
Impressions
I was able to tour the Fuji Gotemba Distillery and go to the standing soba restaurant, Gyoza (Dumplings), and bar that I wanted to go to, so at least it's OK.
I regret not being able to go to the refreshing sauna. .
I realized that Tokyo and Shizuoka are surprisingly close, so I would like to visit again next time.
『2nd day' Continued.
