We head to Mt. Esan and stroll through the impressive crater floor before enjoying some rare Atka mackerel sashimi. After the meal, we try out a seaside hot spring that sinks into the sea at high tide. Finally, we soothe our fatigue in a foot bath while watching the geysers shoot up high into the sky from the ground.
