Oswald Ito & Kaerutei Iwakura Travel to Hot Springs! Why they enjoyed gourmet food and “cackled” in the men’s and women’s baths 【Kanazawa Topics】

Shunsuke Ito (33) of the comedy duo Oswaldo and Iwakura (33) of Kaerutei, who admitted to dating in July 2022, recently traveled to Ishikawa Prefecture to enjoy seafood cuisine and hot springs.

First, to the kitchen of the citizens of Kanazawa.

The May 3 broadcast of 『Look! Here is Mr. Oswald’s house!』 (TBS Radio), Shunsuke Ito told us that he and his girlfriend took an overnight trip to Ishikawa Prefecture in late April.

Kazuya Kunisaki of Ranjatai, who had competed as a finalist in the 『M-1 Grand Prix』, gave him 「tickets to the Hoshino Resort」, and he decided to go there because he had long heard that 「Kanazawa has many delicious foods」.

First, they got off at Kanazawa Station and went to Omicho Market, called “Kanazawa Citizens’ Kitchen,” where they were served 「freshly caught oysters」 at a storefront and given cans of beer by a man who told them to 「drink beer, too」.

Enjoy hot springs at the hotel

When they arrived at the hotel, they tasted Kanazawa’s specialty, nodoguro for dinner, and then they went to a hot spring that was a little apart from the main bath, which was a reproduction of a bath from the Meiji era.

It was late and there was no sign of anyone else, so Iwakura asked from the women’s bath, 「Are you alone there, too」 Ito replied, 「Are you alone there, too?」 and they laughed at each other and said, 「You’re both alone」, and 「You’ve got the whole place to yourself」.

Incidentally, according to Ito’s story, the hotel is believed to be the 「Hoshino Resort Kai Kaga」 in Yamashiro Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
