Beautiful lake near the Yatsugatake mountain range. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re coming from Matsumoto or Karuizawa. Lots of skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer
(Translated by Google) It was 9am so there were not many tourists around and we had a nice time walking around Lake Megami. However, when we got to the pier, a group of school trippers started taking photos one after the other so we quickly left the lake. (Original) 朝9時だったからか観光客も少なく、いい感じで女神湖一周の散策を始めたのですが、桟橋のところで修学旅行の団体が入れ代わり立ち代わり写真撮影しだしたので早々に女神湖を後にしました。
(Translated by Google) 2025.7.18. The promenade through the wetlands was unusual in that it was planted with various aquatic plants. And the water flowing in from all over the place had a cooling effect, and the cool breeze felt very pleasant. (Original) 2025.7.18. 湿地帯の中を歩く遊歩道はいろんな水生植物が植えられて珍しかったです。そしてあちこちから流れ込んでいる水の冷却効果もあり涼しい風が吹いてとても気持ち良かったです。
(Translated by Google) It's guaranteed to be cool in the summer! It's just the right distance for a stroll. There are also plenty of lakeside restaurants. ✨💖 The Goddess Terrace is a must-see! 🌬️ (Original) 夏場の涼しさはお墨付き! 散策するのに丁度よい距離です。 湖畔の飲食店も充実✨💖 女神のテラスは必見!🌬️
(Translated by Google) The name "Goddess Lake" is wonderful. It was originally built as an agricultural reservoir, and there is a legend of a kappa. It seems to be an artificial lake. It's July and the Japanese archipelago is extremely hot, but here, a refreshing breeze is blowing from the mountains. People are walking their dogs. People are standing on benches. Time is passing by leisurely. There is free parking and a toilet, so it's a great place to take a break from driving. (Original) 「女神湖」という名が素敵ですね もとは 農業用溜め池としてつくられ 河童伝説もある 人造湖のようです 7月酷暑の日本列島ですが こちらは 山から爽やかな風が吹き ワンちゃん散歩 ベンチでたたずむ人 まったりした時間が流れていました 無料駐車場 TOILET完備で ドライブ休憩の出来るところです
(Translated by Google) You can cycle around the area, but running is prohibited on the bank and cycling is prohibited on the promenade. It's a great place for a leisurely stroll. (Original) 自転車などでぐるっと1周できますが、堤防はランニング禁止で、遊歩道は自転車走行禁止です。のんびり歩くにはいい所です。
(Translated by Google) I went to Lake Megami. The scenery was beautiful, but it was cold, so my stay was short. When I went, it was foggy, including the Venus Line. It would have been fun to walk along the surrounding promenade. I was unprepared, or rather, I chose the wrong outfit, so I gave up. I only got to see it from the parking lot. (Original) 女神湖に行ってこました。景色はきれいだったのですが、寒さもあり短い滞在になりました。行った時はビーナスラインも含め霧が立ち込めてた感じでした。周りの遊歩道を歩くと楽しめそうでしたね。私は準備不足というか、、、、服装の選択ミスで断念。駐車場からだけの見学でした。

We stayed in the new Main Building and the rooms were so incredibly spacious and clean. It had lovely big windows with a beautiful view of the lake. The service was amazing, all the staff was so hospitable and helpful. The buffet breakfast and dinner had a great range and the food was delicious. It had a lovely onsen with a lovely outdoor area overlooking the lake. Loved our stay. Thank you!
I love the room, very spacious, great view and stylish. Good was good too! Many choices and breakfast was good as well. I was sick before I went to bed and asked for a thermometer and they let us use one. Amazing! I’ll definitely come back with my sister and nephew! This place is very kid friendly and great for a family
This is a very luxurious hotel with spacious and clean rooms, and the views are excellent. Their hot springs are also quite good, with indoor and outdoor options, as well as gender-segregated baths (requiring designated clothing). The buffet offerings for both dinner and breakfast are extensive, with high-quality food choices.
Their all you can eat style dinner and breakfast were super nice 😋 Crab, sushi, stakes, vegetables, noodles, Chinese, Indian curry, so variety of foods.
🍴Dinner and breakfast buffet. There is a wide variety of food and entertainment, so both adults and children can enjoy it. Be careful not to overeat. There is also a pool, bowling, and ski resort. It was a very satisfying trip.❄️
This hotel has very recently under gone a multimillion dollars transformation and my family from Australia have been blown away by our stay here. With a dining hall showcasing a superb outlook over the lake and snowy mountains beyond we enjoyed 5 star meals with a dedicated area for kids to serve them selves. The buffet style breakfasts and dinners were beyond our expectations and unlike anything we have experienced in hotels in Australia. Our room was beautifully crafted with modern amenities yet still holds the charm of traditional Japanese architecture. There are beautiful hot spring bath areas (with both a unisex area for wearing swimwear and a male and female separated area where no swimwear is required) This was the perfect place to relax after we hit the slopes at the local ski resorts which there are plenty to choose from. The staff were incredibly helpful and even though we were some of few westerners staying they went above and beyond to make sure we knew our way around and where to get supplies (shops on site and a handy Lawson convenience store across from the hotel) and where to hire our ski equipment etc. There is also so much for the kids to do with rooms of arcade games, a bowling alley and not to mention a water slide. Our kids didn’t want to leave and neither did we!
After hiking Mt. Yoko, we indulged in the rejuvenating sauna at this big resort hotel. With its breathtaking views of Shirakaba Lake, the sauna and outdoor bath provided a serene atmosphere. Complimentary bathing suits are available, allowing you to enjoy these amenities with friends and family. Personally, I suggest implementing an age limit for the sauna due to its intense heat, which may not be suitable for kids. The cold bath, filled with drinkable natural mineral water, proved to be an exceptional experience. Despite the ¥2,000 fee for temporary visitors, the value delivered makes it a worthwhile investment. This experience made me reconsider the exorbitant prices of saunas in Tokyo, as this one offered far more for a reasonable cost.
Great Resort with Great Facilities (Great Onsen, Arcade Games, Bowling Alley, Tennis Table, Etc). We are very amazed with the newly renovated Main Building, Great Spacious Rooms, Grand Spacious Dining Area, and lots of kids friendly facilities! Lastly, provided with a beautiful lake and mountain view. You will enjoy your unforgettable onsen experience. Complete Package! Will definitely come back to this Great Resort! Thanks Shirakaba Ikenotaira Resort!

Amazing views, well worth it
Inexpensive, family friendly ski resort. Good for families with children learning to ski. Only a few runs so no one gets lost. No English spoken so be prepared to practice your Japanese. 2.5 hour drive from central Tokyo
Ski field was ok but limited number of lifts and a long wait time. No snowboarding, which was ok for this particular trip but sucks in general.
Great place for family and all ski levels but more towards beginner level with only
(Translated by Google) It is easily accessible, and although the amount of snow is low according to the data, it is a ski resort with high-quality artificial ski slopes and is very slippery. Although it is particularly compact, it is fully equipped with a gondola, making it a very efficient skiing experience. There are two lifts, the main lift gondola, and both carry a large amount of cargo, so it is a ski resort with some slipping. There is even a restaurant that won the Ramen Grand Prix! There is a family slope, and it is compact, so small children and elementary school students can enjoy it together as long as their eyes can see. This is a highly recommended ski resort. (Original) アクセスも良く、積雪量はデータ上では少ないですが、人工きも上質でとても滑りやすいスキー場です。 特にコンパクトながらゴンドラも完備されており、すごく効率よく滑ることができます。メインのリフトゴンドラとリフト2本になりますが、両方とも運搬量が大いため、滑りがいあるスキー場です。 ラーメングランプリで優勝したレストランもあります! ファミリーゲレンデあり、コンパクトなので、小さいお子さんと小学生も一緒になって、目の行き渡る範囲で楽しめる。かなりお勧めのスキー場です。
(Translated by Google) This is a small ski resort with one gondola and two lifts, and the main courses are for beginners to intermediate skiers. It's a ski resort where many people come with children, so it's always crowded. I usually go to the Hakuba ski resort, so I'm tired of the crowds at this ski resort. There are a lot of skiers, but this seems to be because people are riding alone on the four-seater lifts, and staff are not letting people ride the gondolas. It's about 30 minutes from the Suwa Interchange on the Chuo Expressway, so it's convenient for a day trip, but I don't think I'd want to go there because of the congestion. The soba noodles and soft serve ice cream at the restaurant were very delicious! (Original) ゴンドラ1本、リフト2本の小さなスキー場で、初心者から中級者向けのコースがメイン。 子連れが多いスキー場で、とにかく混んでいる。 普段は白馬のスキー場に行くことが多いので、このスキー場の混雑にはうんざりする。 スキー客も多いが、4人乗りのリフトでも1人で乗せていたりゴンドラで相乗りを係の人がさせていないのが原因だと思われる。 中央道の諏訪インターから30分ぐらいなので、日帰りで利用するには便利だが、この混雑ではあまり行きたいとは思えない。 レストランのお蕎麦と、ソフトクリームはとても美味しかった!
(Translated by Google) There are many spacious and beautiful areas, and many hikers and people with children come here. The views are great. (Original) 広くて綺麗な場所が沢山有りハイキングの方や子供をつれた方が沢山来ていました。眺めも良いです。

(Translated by Google) I came here because I wanted to relax in a hammock on a nice summer day! You can reach the summit by gondola or mountain climbing. For cars, there are about 20 spaces under the gondola or a space behind the hotel. Pets can also ride on the gondola, so I was able to put them in my bag. The temperature at the top of the mountain is about 24 degrees Celsius, which is as comfortable as the breeze from an air conditioner. The air was delicious and it was a great place to soothe your corona fatigue. They also sell Tateshina Farm soft serve ice cream at the top of the mountain, so it's great to eat delicious soft serve ice cream while looking at the scenery. It's also a good idea to bring a lunch box or some snack and have a leisurely breakfast or lunch. After that, you can take a walk around the wetlands and places with spring water, so it was fun to take a walk! I think it's easier on your feet and you won't feel sore if you wear sneakers. (Original) 夏の天気良い日にハンモックでゆっくりくつろぎたくて来ました! 山頂までは、ゴンドラ又は登山で行く事になります。 車は、ゴンドラ下20台ぐらいのスペースかホテル裏側のスペースになります。 ペットもゴンドラに乗れるので、バックに入れて乗車出来ました。 山頂は24℃ぐらいで、エアコンの風ぐらいの気持ちいい気温です。空気も美味しくて、コロナ疲れを癒やしてくれる所でした。 また、山頂で蓼科牧場ソフトクリームも販売しているので、景色を眺めながら美味しいソフトクリームを食べるのが最高ですね。 お弁当とか何か軽食を持って行き、ゆっくり朝食や昼食にするのもアリです。 その後、湿原や湧き水がある場所を散策出来るので散策すると楽しかったです! スニーカー等で行った方が足が楽で痛い思いをしないと思います。
(Translated by Google) There is a spectacular view on the gondola ride (^^)! You can climb quite high and get a panoramic view of Goddess Lake and the mountains. There are also nice chairs available at the top, which I highly recommend! It looks like the sky terrace near Seisen Dormitory. Perhaps because it is not well known, there are not many people, so you can enjoy the spectacular view without lining up. There is also a hiking trail at the top. There were cows and rabbits on the farm, and the children enjoyed interacting with them. However, there are only a few animal species, so if you are looking for a farm, it may not be enough. Recommended for babies and children! ●Gondola Round trip 920 yen (610 yen for children) 9-16:30 Closed on Wednesdays (Original) ゴンドラに乗った先に絶景あり(^^)! かなり高くまで登れて、女神湖や山々が一望できます。頂上にはステキな椅子も用意されてて、おススメです!清泉寮近くのスカイテラスのようです。あまり知られてないのか、人が少ないので、並ぶことなく絶景を堪能できます♪ 頂上にはハイキングコースもあります。 牧場には牛とウサギがいて、子供達が触れ合って喜んでいました。ただ、動物種は少ないので、牧場目的だと物足りないかもしれません。 赤ちゃん、子供づれにおススメ! ●ゴンドラ 往復920円(小人610円) 9-16:30 水曜日定休
(Translated by Google) The best thing about this place is that you can interact with animals for free. There are goats, sheep, mini horses, mini pigs, and rabbits. You cannot feed them, but the pigs and rabbits are in a small enclosure, so you can freely enter and interact with them. Of course, be gentle when touching it. Even a 1 year old can enjoy it. There are no staff, so it's a pretty free ranch. However, from the parking lot, from the entrance to the farm, to the interaction area, there is grass, but it's quite a steep slope, so small children were likely to fall if they ran quickly. (Original) ここの一番良いところは無料で動物と触れ合える所。 ヤギ、ヒツジ、ミニホース、ミニブタ、ウサギが居ます。 餌やりは出来ませんが、ブタさんとウサギさんは小さな囲いの中に居るので自由に入って触れ合えます。 もちろん、触るときは優しく。 1歳位でも充分楽しめますよ。 係員も居ないし、結構自由な牧場です。 ただ、駐車場降りて牧場入り口から、触れ合い場まで、芝生ですが結構な急斜面なので小さい子は急いで走ったりすると転がり落ちそうでした。
(Translated by Google) Gondola round trip + nature park for 1000 yen! Very reasonable. Dogs are free. It's OK if you hold it on a leash. If you imagine the famous terrace in Kiyosato, the Megami Lake Terrace might seem a bit small and lonely, but there's no musical chairs, so you might feel more at ease here. In front of you is Utsukushigahara and Goddess Lake. It's very soothing. I had a soft serve ice cream, but it tasted like apple. They also sell apple flavor, so I thought the flavors were mixed. The guy at the store was very kind. I also had coffee and it was very delicious. Maybe the water tastes better. The nature garden is really nice. You can enjoy forest bathing, and the wooden path makes it easy to walk. Milk Senka Momo, famous for its soft serve ice cream, is located at Tateshina Daini Farm. (Original) ゴンドラ往復+自然園で1000円! とってもリーズナブル。犬は無料。リードをつけて抱っこしてればOKです。 女神湖テラスは清里の有名なテラスを想像すると、こじんまりしていて少し寂しい感じもするようだけど、椅子取り合戦なんてないからこっちの方が落ち着くかも。 目の前は美ヶ原に女神湖。とっても癒される。 ソフトクリームたべたけど、リンゴの味がした。 リンゴ味も売ってるから味が混ざってるかな💦と感じました。 売店のお兄さんとっても親切でした。 コーヒーも飲んだんですがとっても美味しかったです。水が美味しいのかもしれませんね。 自然園は本当に素敵。 森林浴ができて、木道など歩きやすいです。 ソフトクリームが有名な牛乳専科もうもうがあるのは蓼科第二牧場です。
(Translated by Google) This is a small farm located right in front of Ikenotaira Shirakaba Kogen Hotel. It's free. Although the number was small, there were cows, sheep, goats, and rabbits. It seems like I can't feed it. (Original) 池の平白樺高原ホテルの目の前にあるこじんまりとした牧場です。無料です。頭数は少ないですが、牛、羊、ヤギ、ウサギがいました。餌はあげられないみたいです。
(Translated by Google) You can enjoy the Fureai Farm for free. In the summer, grass grows all over the slopes, making it feel nice and green. There is a parking lot in front of the lift, but the number of spaces is small. (Original) ふれあい牧場が無料で楽しめます。 夏はゲレンデに一面草が生えていて青々と気持ちがいい。駐車場はリフト前にあるが台数少なめです。
(Translated by Google) You can ride a gondola with your pet to Gosensui Nature Park. Set ticket is 1000 yen. Suitable for bringing dogs. (Original) ペットとゴンドラに乗って御泉水自然園へいけます。セット券1000円です。犬連れ向き。
(Translated by Google) It looked a little lonely and different from what I had imagined, but the sheep were extraordinarily friendly and I could touch them from over the fence. A sheep came over to be touched. I will never forget the fluffy and soft feel of the sheep when I touched it for the first time lol Unfortunately, because it was a weekday, the store was closed on both days, so I couldn't eat the soft serve ice cream. (Original) すこし寂しい感じでイメージとは違いましたが、羊がことの外、人馴れしていて柵越しから触れました。触られに羊が寄ってきました。 初めて羊を触り、もこもこ感と柔らかい感じの手触りが忘れられません笑 平日だったからか、売店らしきところが2日とも閉まっていてソフトクリームを食べられなかったのが残念でした。

If you like teddy bears (cute), this is the place to be! Budget at least 1 hour for the museum, I went 1 hour before closing and finished the museum right on time. Also, be prepared to take many photos, all of the 11,000 bears in the museum are cute! The exhibits are themed based on countries and cultures (e.g. UN, Egypt, Swiss). There is a scavenger hunt where you have to find their mascot (Gutty) wearing different outfits. It's a pretty easy hunt but it would keep children entertained. For non-Japanese speakers: the counter staff speaks very minimal English, there's an English/Chinese language brochure. Exhibits are bilingual (English + Japanese). However, the activities are only in Japanese.
1,400¥ per adult. It has about 11,000 teddy bears to look at. After entering, you can also make your own teddy bear with a charge. I think it is great for kids. On the right side, you can do shopping and it has a rest space. Hunt game is there and if you find it all, you will get a small museum batch. The teddy’s are divided into countries in different settings. Photos and videos are easily available and in one point, there is light stand as well. It is a great place and fun ti explore.
Great for the little one. Bring your little kids and they'll have fun. It's a bit far though
Enjoyed a couple of hours at this sweet museum. They have an amzing amount of teddybears! Also, there is a dress up corner where you can wear a bear suit, so much fun!
Teddy bear museum, what a sham! ¥1,400 to get in and you can get the same experience walking thru the gift shop next to it. If you reeeeally like teddy bears, have a look but. They have the smallest Teddy bear in the world according to Guiness? Anyone with a few cotton balls could break that, but whats the point?
Not too bad. But definitely not worth the price. If not for the little "search" game, it's basically a 20 mins max experience for 1400 yen/adult.
The Teddy Bear museum was awesome. It’s like your are being toured to different countries
The only one but the best Teddy Bear museum, there are full of Japanese muse to Teddy Bear, full of surprised when you visit there.

Beautiful in fall times
I found this place very nice and child friendly. They have child park that has a scalator for going up and slide down with 700yens as entrance fee. Another good point was they had lots of big size clothes for rent and also boots. In my case I could find 4x ski cloths and 31cm boots. In addition the restaurant was cheap and really great!
Nice and calm…; less crowded 2025/Jan
Great day ski Mens day 2000 yen Maximum 50 people on the snow Runs although short groomed beautifully. The centre full of food very reasonable. Big Crepes . Fantastic ,delicious worth the visit. A Small Friendly Resort
One of the best ski resort at Tateshina area for both ski and snow boarding. There are several courses and my favorite is picnic course since I can ski with my kids. The resort has kids park and kids room.
(Translated by Google) I use it in the summer. During the peak summer season, nearby places like Lake Shirakaba and Nagato Ranch are crowded, but this place seems relatively empty. You can spend a relaxing time petting the friendly goats while eating soft serve ice cream. The buggy course is spacious and can be enjoyed by both adults and children. Apparently you can also try making soba noodles. I use it as a relaxing spot to stop by on my way to my destination. (Original) 夏場に利用します。夏のハイシーズンだと近場の白樺湖や長門牧場など、どこも混んでいますが比較的空いている印象です。ソフトクリームを食べながら、フレンドリーなヤギちゃんと触れ合って、ゆっくりした時間を過ごせます。バギーも広々したコース設定で大人も子供も楽しめます。そば打ち体験もあるみたいです。 目的地に向かう道中に立ち寄ってホッとするスポットとして利用しています。
(Translated by Google) Since this ski resort is primarily accessible by private car, it's not too crowded, making it a safe and enjoyable experience. From my experience, it seems like people start congregating on the right side of the slope around noon. I usually start out by taking the right-hand side of the slope, and once more people start coming, I switch to the left-hand side of the slope, which descends directly from the front. However, depending on the angle of the sunlight, icy ski runs can form. In that case, it's best to avoid the ice. It's spacious enough for a half-day's fun without getting bored, and ticket and rental fees are reasonable. Because it's not too high, it's less prone to harsh wind conditions. It's a safe, homey ski resort. (Original) 自家用車しか基本来ないスキー場なので 混雑具合がマイルドめ 安心して利用できます 体感ですが 昼ぐらいから 斜面に向かって右側に集まってくる感じがあります 自分は最初早々に右側のコースを繰り返し 人が増えてきたら 斜面に向かって左側の 正面から降りてくるコースを繰り返すことが多いです ただし 日光のの角度的に アイスバーンができることもあり その場合は氷を回避した方が良いです 半日くらいなら全く退屈せずに回せる広さはありますし チケット代やレンタル代もほどほどで 高度はない分 風とかで厳しいコンディションにもなりにくく 安心して使える アットホームなスキー場です
(Translated by Google) This was my third weekday visit for snowboarding. The lift tickets use IC chips, so it was comfortable and smooth. The lifts are relatively fast, so they stopped several times, likely due to people getting on and off incorrectly. The last time, the snow was good and easy everywhere, but this time, there was a lot of ice, and the Pleasure Run was the best, so it was packed with people. My son, who is in third grade, tried snowboarding here for the first time. He got the hang of it on the first day, and by the second day, he was riding the lift by himself and smashing away. The run is short, so we could keep an eye on him. The wide, gentle slope makes it easy to practice freestyle tricks, so I highly recommend it. ◎ For lunch, Core House had a great selection and was delicious. I had the Chinese noodles, which were reasonably priced and incredibly delicious! If it were closer, I'd definitely go there. The tsukemen and Sanzoku curry were also delicious. Apparently, the Sanzoku burger had juicy chicken and was huge and filling. Lumiere felt like a typical snowboard spot. (Original) 平日にスノボで3度目の訪問。 リフト券はICチップなので快適スムーズ。リフトは比較的速いので、乗り降りに失敗する人が多いのか何度か止まっていた。 前回は雪質も良くどこも滑りやすかったが、今回はアイスバーンが多くプレジャーコースが1番マシだったので人が集中していた。 小3息子が初めてスノボに挑戦したのがココで、初日でコツを掴み2日目には一人でリフトに乗り込みガンガン滑っていた。短いコースなので目の届く範囲。幅広の緩やか斜面なのでグラトリも練習しやすくオススメ◎ ランチはコアハウスが種類も豊富で良き♪中華そばを戴いたが、良心価格なのにマジ美味い!! 近ければ絶対通う。つけ麺、山賊カレーも美味。山賊バーガーはチキンがジューシーでめちゃデカかく食べ応えあったらしい。ルミエールは一般的なゲレ食って感じかな。

Happy to stop by and eat here.
(Translated by Google) It seems to be showcasing the charms of Tateshina to the fullest. Agricultural products are plentiful. Personally, I recommend the sweets, the Tateshina Lake pudding and the Shinano Gold soft serve ice cream. It has been relatively recently renovated. The official statement is as follows: The location is excellent, with a fresh breeze and beautiful views of the Asama mountain range. The charm of this roadside station is being able to enjoy the highlands and rural scenery. From now on, as one of the "National Roadside Stations," we will provide even higher quality "hospitality" and further power up as a facility that is loved and meets the expectations of people all over the country.

Beautiful and easy
(Translated by Google) I recently stopped by for lunch on a trip. Thinking it was a restaurant attached to a roadside station, I entered with no expectations and ordered a set of warm soba and tempura bowl. I was surprised at how delicious it was considering the reasonable price of 1,190 yen. The tempura was crispy and the tempura soup was nice. I entered the store before noon on a weekday, and it was quickly filled with customers. If I have a chance to go next time, I will order Tenzaru. (Original) つい先日旅の途中で立ち寄りランチしました。道の駅に併設されている食堂と思い期待もせずに入り温かいそばと天丼のセットを注文して頂きました。お値段は1190円とリーズナブルな割に意外と美味しくてびっくりしました。天ぷらがサクサクしていて天丼のつゆもいい感じでした。平日の昼前に入店しましたが、あっと言う間にお客さんで一杯になっていました。次に行く機会があれば天ざるを注文しようと思います。
(Translated by Google) The restaurant has a lot of delicious dishes using Tateshina beef. However, the shop is a bit lacking. I think if they sold freshly baked local specialties, like melon bread or apple pie, there would be a line. (Original) レストランは蓼科牛を使ったメニューが多く美味しそうです。 ただ、ショップが貧弱です。メロンパンでもアップルパイでも良いのでその場で焼いた名物を販売すれば行列ができると思います。
(Translated by Google) [Visited on a weekday in October 2025] I stopped in because it was on my way to Takabocchi. It was lunchtime, but the parking lot was empty. I'm not sure if there was motorcycle parking. Probably not. The apple curry looked delicious, so I thought I'd try it, but it was booked out for a group and closed to the public for about two hours. This is just my own personal opinion as a user, but I thought it was pretty terrible that a roadside station could be booked out for a group and you couldn't get anything to eat. If you're planning on stopping in for lunch, you should be careful. I nibbled on a Soy Joy I had brought with me in the parking lot. While I was munching on a Soy Joy, someone asked me for directions to Karuizawa. I'm a tourist, so I didn't know. Sorry. (Original) 【2025年10月平日訪問】 高ボッチに行く途中にあったので寄りました。 昼時でしたが駐車場は空いていました。 バイク用駐車場があったかどうかは分かりません。多分ないです。 りんごカレーがうまそうだったので食おうと思いましたが、団体貸切のため一般客には2時間くらい使えない状態でした。 利用者側の勝手な感情ではありますが、道の駅で団体貸切で全く飯が食えなくなるって酷くね?と思いました。 昼飯食うために寄るつもりなら注意した方がいいです。 駐車場で持参したソイジョイをかじりました。 ソイジョイかじってたら軽井沢への道を聞かれました。 俺も観光客なので分からなかったです。すみません。

Beautiful in fall times
I found this place very nice and child friendly. They have child park that has a scalator for going up and slide down with 700yens as entrance fee. Another good point was they had lots of big size clothes for rent and also boots. In my case I could find 4x ski cloths and 31cm boots. In addition the restaurant was cheap and really great!
Nice and calm…; less crowded 2025/Jan
Great day ski Mens day 2000 yen Maximum 50 people on the snow Runs although short groomed beautifully. The centre full of food very reasonable. Big Crepes . Fantastic ,delicious worth the visit. A Small Friendly Resort
One of the best ski resort at Tateshina area for both ski and snow boarding. There are several courses and my favorite is picnic course since I can ski with my kids. The resort has kids park and kids room.
(Translated by Google) I use it in the summer. During the peak summer season, nearby places like Lake Shirakaba and Nagato Ranch are crowded, but this place seems relatively empty. You can spend a relaxing time petting the friendly goats while eating soft serve ice cream. The buggy course is spacious and can be enjoyed by both adults and children. Apparently you can also try making soba noodles. I use it as a relaxing spot to stop by on my way to my destination. (Original) 夏場に利用します。夏のハイシーズンだと近場の白樺湖や長門牧場など、どこも混んでいますが比較的空いている印象です。ソフトクリームを食べながら、フレンドリーなヤギちゃんと触れ合って、ゆっくりした時間を過ごせます。バギーも広々したコース設定で大人も子供も楽しめます。そば打ち体験もあるみたいです。 目的地に向かう道中に立ち寄ってホッとするスポットとして利用しています。
(Translated by Google) Since this ski resort is primarily accessible by private car, it's not too crowded, making it a safe and enjoyable experience. From my experience, it seems like people start congregating on the right side of the slope around noon. I usually start out by taking the right-hand side of the slope, and once more people start coming, I switch to the left-hand side of the slope, which descends directly from the front. However, depending on the angle of the sunlight, icy ski runs can form. In that case, it's best to avoid the ice. It's spacious enough for a half-day's fun without getting bored, and ticket and rental fees are reasonable. Because it's not too high, it's less prone to harsh wind conditions. It's a safe, homey ski resort. (Original) 自家用車しか基本来ないスキー場なので 混雑具合がマイルドめ 安心して利用できます 体感ですが 昼ぐらいから 斜面に向かって右側に集まってくる感じがあります 自分は最初早々に右側のコースを繰り返し 人が増えてきたら 斜面に向かって左側の 正面から降りてくるコースを繰り返すことが多いです ただし 日光のの角度的に アイスバーンができることもあり その場合は氷を回避した方が良いです 半日くらいなら全く退屈せずに回せる広さはありますし チケット代やレンタル代もほどほどで 高度はない分 風とかで厳しいコンディションにもなりにくく 安心して使える アットホームなスキー場です
(Translated by Google) This was my third weekday visit for snowboarding. The lift tickets use IC chips, so it was comfortable and smooth. The lifts are relatively fast, so they stopped several times, likely due to people getting on and off incorrectly. The last time, the snow was good and easy everywhere, but this time, there was a lot of ice, and the Pleasure Run was the best, so it was packed with people. My son, who is in third grade, tried snowboarding here for the first time. He got the hang of it on the first day, and by the second day, he was riding the lift by himself and smashing away. The run is short, so we could keep an eye on him. The wide, gentle slope makes it easy to practice freestyle tricks, so I highly recommend it. ◎ For lunch, Core House had a great selection and was delicious. I had the Chinese noodles, which were reasonably priced and incredibly delicious! If it were closer, I'd definitely go there. The tsukemen and Sanzoku curry were also delicious. Apparently, the Sanzoku burger had juicy chicken and was huge and filling. Lumiere felt like a typical snowboard spot. (Original) 平日にスノボで3度目の訪問。 リフト券はICチップなので快適スムーズ。リフトは比較的速いので、乗り降りに失敗する人が多いのか何度か止まっていた。 前回は雪質も良くどこも滑りやすかったが、今回はアイスバーンが多くプレジャーコースが1番マシだったので人が集中していた。 小3息子が初めてスノボに挑戦したのがココで、初日でコツを掴み2日目には一人でリフトに乗り込みガンガン滑っていた。短いコースなので目の届く範囲。幅広の緩やか斜面なのでグラトリも練習しやすくオススメ◎ ランチはコアハウスが種類も豊富で良き♪中華そばを戴いたが、良心価格なのにマジ美味い!! 近ければ絶対通う。つけ麺、山賊カレーも美味。山賊バーガーはチキンがジューシーでめちゃデカかく食べ応えあったらしい。ルミエールは一般的なゲレ食って感じかな。

Beautiful lake near the Yatsugatake mountain range. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re coming from Matsumoto or Karuizawa. Lots of skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer
(Translated by Google) It was 9am so there were not many tourists around and we had a nice time walking around Lake Megami. However, when we got to the pier, a group of school trippers started taking photos one after the other so we quickly left the lake. (Original) 朝9時だったからか観光客も少なく、いい感じで女神湖一周の散策を始めたのですが、桟橋のところで修学旅行の団体が入れ代わり立ち代わり写真撮影しだしたので早々に女神湖を後にしました。
(Translated by Google) 2025.7.18. The promenade through the wetlands was unusual in that it was planted with various aquatic plants. And the water flowing in from all over the place had a cooling effect, and the cool breeze felt very pleasant. (Original) 2025.7.18. 湿地帯の中を歩く遊歩道はいろんな水生植物が植えられて珍しかったです。そしてあちこちから流れ込んでいる水の冷却効果もあり涼しい風が吹いてとても気持ち良かったです。
(Translated by Google) It's guaranteed to be cool in the summer! It's just the right distance for a stroll. There are also plenty of lakeside restaurants. ✨💖 The Goddess Terrace is a must-see! 🌬️ (Original) 夏場の涼しさはお墨付き! 散策するのに丁度よい距離です。 湖畔の飲食店も充実✨💖 女神のテラスは必見!🌬️
(Translated by Google) The name "Goddess Lake" is wonderful. It was originally built as an agricultural reservoir, and there is a legend of a kappa. It seems to be an artificial lake. It's July and the Japanese archipelago is extremely hot, but here, a refreshing breeze is blowing from the mountains. People are walking their dogs. People are standing on benches. Time is passing by leisurely. There is free parking and a toilet, so it's a great place to take a break from driving. (Original) 「女神湖」という名が素敵ですね もとは 農業用溜め池としてつくられ 河童伝説もある 人造湖のようです 7月酷暑の日本列島ですが こちらは 山から爽やかな風が吹き ワンちゃん散歩 ベンチでたたずむ人 まったりした時間が流れていました 無料駐車場 TOILET完備で ドライブ休憩の出来るところです
(Translated by Google) You can cycle around the area, but running is prohibited on the bank and cycling is prohibited on the promenade. It's a great place for a leisurely stroll. (Original) 自転車などでぐるっと1周できますが、堤防はランニング禁止で、遊歩道は自転車走行禁止です。のんびり歩くにはいい所です。
(Translated by Google) I went to Lake Megami. The scenery was beautiful, but it was cold, so my stay was short. When I went, it was foggy, including the Venus Line. It would have been fun to walk along the surrounding promenade. I was unprepared, or rather, I chose the wrong outfit, so I gave up. I only got to see it from the parking lot. (Original) 女神湖に行ってこました。景色はきれいだったのですが、寒さもあり短い滞在になりました。行った時はビーナスラインも含め霧が立ち込めてた感じでした。周りの遊歩道を歩くと楽しめそうでしたね。私は準備不足というか、、、、服装の選択ミスで断念。駐車場からだけの見学でした。

(Translated by Google) The restaurant next door, Sanpo, is recommended for its delicious soba noodles, grilled fish, and tempura bowls. (Original) 隣にある歩歩歩(さんぽ)は凄く美味しい蕎麦や焼き魚や天丼などがありお勧め
(Translated by Google) I had a meal (soba) at the Sanpo restaurant, then took a walk while staying in the parking lot. Dogs are welcome to walk and park. I would say that the walking course is almost flat. It is a well-maintained walking path of about 1 km. (Original) 食事処歩歩歩(さんぽ)で食事(蕎麦)をして、そのまま駐車場を利用したまま、散歩をしました。歩歩歩も公園もわんこOKです。散歩コースはほぼ平坦と言っていいと思います。整備された1キロ程の散策路です。
(Translated by Google) The food is cheap and plentiful. The yamame tempura was exquisite. I want to try the fries next time (Original) 食事は安くてボリュームがあります。ヤマメの天ぷらは絶品でした。次回はフライ食べてみたい
(Translated by Google) The uncle and aunt who accepted us were great! The fact that you can fish as much as you like is an attractive feature, but the occasional albino rainbow trout made me want to fish. I couldn't catch it myself (lol) The fish are the perfect size to eat, and even my child (4 years old) was very happy to catch them 🎵 Highly recommended! (Original) 受付してくれたおじさんおばさんの対応最高です!釣り放題なのも魅力ですがアルビノのニジマスがたまにいて釣る気を上げてくれました。自分は釣れませんでしたが(笑) 魚も食べ頃サイズですし、子供(4歳)も釣れて大喜び🎵とってもオススメです!
(Translated by Google) Despite the rain and cold, we had fun at the fishing pond. The selling point is that you can fish as much as you want for an hourly fee, but my family could only catch three fish in an hour. But it's fun! (Original) 雨で寒い中、釣り堀で楽しみました。 時間課金の釣り放題が売りですが、我が家は一時間で3匹しか釣れませんでした。 でも、楽しいです!
(Translated by Google) I'm not sure if it's a park or not, but the salt-grilled rock fish and fried chicken were delicious. Thank you very much for the meal, Ayumu Ayumu. (Original) 公園だかなんだかよくわかりませんが、岩魚の塩焼きとからあげ美味しかったです。歩歩歩さん御馳走様でした。
(Translated by Google) Freshly grilled rockfish and soba noodles. It was a luxurious meal. The autumn leaves have finished, but the white birch trees are dazzling. (Original) 焼き立ての岩魚に蕎麦。贅沢な食事でした。 紅葉は終わりですが、白樺の白が眩しかった。
