Seaweed bath in Sendai

Early this month, for the first time in ages, I made a trip to Sendai, which I had held back due to the pandemic. Thinking my daughter, a 1st grader in high school, would not come with me due to school, I planned to go on one day trip with my husband at the beginning. However, she said, "You two should have an overnight stay there," so we made a sudden change to our plan, deciding to stay for one night. My daughter was allowed to stay over at my gramma living nearby.

In Sendai, my husband and I spent the day leisurely sightseeing around Sendai station. What amazed us in the hotel was seaweed in a net put into the bath.

Feeling thrilled, I bathed in the "seaweed bath." After a while, my body adapted comfortably to the pale brown bath. At the same time, I felt as if I have melted into soup stock in the aroma of seaweed. Somehow, my skin also seemed to become moist.

While I was on my way home, I thought I would try the bath in my home.

A long-awaited excursion was refreshing and made me newly aware of the goodness of a trip. I want to go out with my whole family next time.

Although you usually don't use a determiner (words like "a", "this", "the" etc.) before "one", here the "one" is part of the noun phrase "one day trip" so you need an article. When using one as a number, eg. "one book", "one man", you wouldn't use an article. When its part of a phrase you use an article eg. "the one man show", "a one letter word".

You can use either could or would not but could not is used when something stops you from doing something and would not sort of means she didn’t want to come. Seems to me you mean that your daughter could not come on the trip because of having to go to school? If she didn’t want to come because she wanted to do her homework instead, then you can say she would not come.
