We enjoyed this shrine very much, tranquilly located on the edge of a forest and seemingly in harmony with the grand, towering trees that surround it. It is hard to appreciate Shinto shrines if you are not Japanese, or don't have a cultural and aesthetic understanding of their meaning, architecture and significance. But this one is just naturally attractive even if, like us, you have little understanding of what you are looking at. So much beautiful wood in the construction, and a pleasing absence of the signage that seems ubiquitous at many such places and that so badly mars the aesthetics. Easy to get to by car, with free parking available nearby. Not sure how to go about getting here by public transport.

It was a very nice shrine with very good vibes.

This was a huge complex. I liked how everyone was dressed in traditional clothes and taking care of the site. It was cool to see a blessing being performed for safe travels for a truck driver and his companion. I was able to get the shrine stamps here. Everything was so well kept. I liked the sumo shrines that where as well which was cool. After visiting here I ate some nice jelly like noodles at a nearby shop which was perfect for the very hot day.

This is the biggest of the four Suwa Taisha shrines. Lmts of interesting buildings and stuff. I enjoyed much here. The main god is famous for Sumo wrestling.

I visited in late January. One one hand it appears run-down—some structures were off-limits due to renovation, but on the other, it just feels really ancient. I did a little bit of research on this place prior to visiting (as we should, to appreciate the place more), and I knew this shrine is very culturally significant and one of the main ones in the country. It’s considered a power spot by many, but the only power I felt was the cold fingers of winter tucking themselves down behind my neck. It was cold. This shrine is one of the Suwa shrines that house the sacred logs that some brave, brave people ride down a mountainside during a festival that’s held every 6 years or so. I forget the name. I’m writing this on my phone half-dizzy after a strenuous hike.

This area has many beautiful shrines. The Shrines are all next to the mountains, so you feel connected to nature. It is a really peaceful here.

Suwa Grand Shrine (Japanese: 諏訪大社 Hepburn: Suwa taisha), historically also known as Suwa Shrine (諏訪神社 Suwa Jinja) or Suwa Daimyōjin (諏訪大明神), is a Shinto shrine in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is considered to be one of the oldest shrines in existence, being implied by the Nihon Shoki to already stand in the late 7th century. It certainly carries a pride of place and there are thousand year old trees around the shrine. Set in a peaceful tranquil forest. A Shinto ceremony was held as we passed by for a large Japanese company and its staff.

Natural Hot spring public bath 10 minutes from a JR station. Thought difficult to find, the red Noren with "ゆ” is easily spotted from the street. Cost 280 yen, a hair dryer 10 yen. A tub style similar to Do-go Onsen in Matsuyama (Round tub set in the center of house, hot water run from a center of the tub.) Bring your own soap, and towel. Enjoy.

The lady keeps coming in while your naked in the bath. And the facilities are a little run down

(Translated by Google) Of all the public hot springs in Shimo-Suwa, this is the best of the best to me. It has a spacious, retro space that looks like a tiled warehouse, and the water is hot but manageable. The arcade-style entrance is also a unique attraction that you can only find here. It's a small thing, but I was quietly grateful for the free lockers for valuables. (Original) 下諏訪の公共温泉の中で、私にはここがベストオブベストです。 倉庫にタイルを貼ったようなレトロで広々した空間と、熱いけどなんとか入れるお湯。 アーケード風の入口も、ここだけの独特の魅力です。 些末な話ですが、貴重品ロッカー無料も地味にありがたいです。

(Translated by Google) Sugano Onsen♨ Near Shimo-Suwa Station on the JR Chuo Main Line I had about an hour to spare, so I thought I could go to a public bath♨ close to the station, so I went to take a bath in the human bath! It's about a 6-minute walk from Shimo-Suwa Station I followed Google Maps and arrived right away♪ The entrance is at the end of a narrow passage, but there was a sign in front, so I found it right away! I bought a bath ticket from the ticket machine just inside the entrance The bath fee was only 300 yen I can't believe you can go to a hot spring♨ for 300 yen these days! I think Suwa is heaven♨! ✨(lol) I handed my bath ticket to the counter attendant and off I went! To the bath There are no lockers in the changing room, just a shelf and a clothes basket, so I told them to put their valuables in the valuables box! ' So I put my wallet and cell phone in a tiny locker for valuables, put my clothes in a clothes basket, and put my luggage on a shelf! The bath has an oval bathtub in the center. Some public baths don't have showers, but this Sugano Onsen has 9 shower areas on both sides, all with hoses and faucets! The facilities are perfect, just like a normal public bath ♨️♪🤗 After washing my whole body thoroughly, I soaked in the water✨ The faint smell of sulfur tickled my nose😆 I don't have a water temperature gauge, so I guess it was about 42-43 degrees? 🤔 The tube that the hot spring discharges from is upright in the center of the bath, and the water flows out in two parts, left and right. A wonderful bath♨ with fresh water pouring in all the time After the bath, gulp down some Yatsugatake Dairy Coffee Milk! 🥳 If there was a bath♨ like this nearby I'd want to go every day♪🤗 ♨♨♨♨♨ (Original) 菅野温泉♨ JR中央本線　下諏訪駅近くで 1時間ほど時間があり、 駅から近い♨共同浴場♨なら 行かれるかなぁ～っと、 ヒトフロ 浴びて来ました！ 下諏訪駅からは徒歩6分ほど Google map 頼りに歩いたら、 すぐ着きました♪ 入口は細い通路の先ににありますが、 手前に看板出てるので、 すぐ分かりました！ 入口を入ってすぐの券売機で 入浴券を購入 湯代は　なんと300円 いまどき、300円で 温泉♨に入れるなんて！ 諏訪は♨天国♨かと思います！✨(笑) カウンター式の番台の方に 入浴券を渡して いざ！ 浴場へ 脱衣所はロッカーはなく、 棚と脱衣籠なので 『貴重品は貴重品入れに！』 とのことで、 財布と携帯を 貴重品の極小ロッカーにしまい、 脱衣籠を利用して服をしまい、 荷物は棚に！ 浴場は 中央に楕円形の浴槽あり 洗い場は共同浴場の場合、 カラン無しのところもありますが、 こちらの菅野温泉には ホース付きシャワーも 全水栓に完備した洗い場が 左右合わせて9箇所あり！ まるで普通の銭湯♨️並に 設備的にはバッチリです♪🤗 全身をキレイに洗ってから 湯につかる✨ ほのかに硫黄の香りが 鼻をくすぐる😆 湯温計ないので 体感的予測ですが、 だいたい42～43度くらい？🤔 浴槽の中心に源泉が吐出する 筒が直立して、 左右 二手に別れて湯が流れ出ています。 こんこんと新しい湯が注がれる 源泉かけ流しの素晴らしい✨湯♨ 湯上りには 八ヶ岳乳業のコーヒー牛乳を グビッっと！🥳 こんな♨浴場♨が近くにあったら 毎日通いたくなります♪🤗 ♨♨♨♨♨

(Translated by Google) This was the first bath on my 2025 Nagano Gunma Hot Spring Tour. The water was clear and colorless, with plenty of it, making it a very pleasant experience. The building is old, but it's well-kept and comfortable. I was impressed by the shower, which was kept at a comfortable temperature despite not being able to adjust the temperature. Also, since the nearest parking lot was unavailable due to an event, I used the tourist parking lot 300 meters away. Is it because the hot springs are treated as a shopping street?! It was free. (Original) 長野群馬湯巡り2025夏　１湯目です。無色透明、湯量も豊富で良い湯でした、 建物は旧いですが綺麗に掃除されていて心地よい施設です。 温度調整できないのに程良い温度に管理されているシャワーに感心しました。 なお、イベントで最寄りに駐車場が利用できなかったので300m離れた観光客用駐車場を利用しました、温泉が商店街扱いなのか!?無料でした。

(Translated by Google) Founded in 1890 (Meiji 23?!) The attendant (older sister) told me that the bathtub and building are still the same as they were then, and they've been very well maintained. The source water is too hot, so they add well water to make it the right temperature. It was too hot for me. The fee was 300 yen. The parking lot 🅿️ is the nearby "Yotsukado Parking Lot". If you get a form at the parking lot and have it stamped at the facility (Kanno Onsen), parking is free. (Original) 1890年創業（明治23年?!） 番台さん（お姉様）が教えてくれました「浴槽も建物も当時のままだよ」って、とても綺麗に維持されてましたし、なんと言っても「源泉掛け流し」源泉が熱すぎるので井戸水を加えて入れる温度にしてるのだって 私にとっては熱かったです 料金¥300でした 駐車場🅿️は直ぐ近くにある「四ツ角駐車場」 駐車場で用紙をもらい利用施設（菅野温泉）で判子を押してもらえば駐車代は無料になります

(Translated by Google) In a word, it's a "retro hot spring bathhouse." Truly the most retro of retros. The fourth batter in the retro club. The facilities are dated, so those accustomed to super-sento (super public bathhouses) might be taken aback. There's a saying that goes, "In hot spring areas with abundant hot spring water, there's a public bathhouse. You should definitely bathe in one." I visited this hot spring to learn this saying, and it really made me realize that it was meant to deepen my understanding of the area... (lol) However, since I'm a person who won't compromise on the toilet, the only thing that bothered me was its age! The water was warm and comfortable. The quality of the water was moist and perfect. It was only 280 yen, so it didn't hurt my wallet at all. The milk after my bath was even better. The lady at the front desk was overflowing with love for her hometown, and it was truly heartwarming. It was a truly great experience. A local said, "This place has the most flavor," and I can see why. It was a bathhouse I'd like to return to someday. (Original) 一言で言えば『レトロな温泉の銭湯』。本当にレトロ中のレトロ。レトロ会の四番打者。 設備は年季入っているので、スーパー銭湯とかに慣れている人は面食らうかも。『湯量豊富な温泉地には公衆浴場があるもの。入るべし』という格言があるが、その格言を学ぶ意味でこの温泉に入ると、｢その地域への理解を深めるためだったんだ…｣と悟りを得ました(笑) ですが、私はトイレだけは譲れない性質なので、トイレの古さだけは気になった！ 湯温は高くて気持ちいい。お湯の質はしっとりと最高。280円と安いので財布へのダメージが皆無。湯上がりの牛乳がなお最強。番台のおばさまの郷土愛溢れる感じが本当に微笑ましく思えます。 本当に良い体験でした。地元の方曰く、ココが１番味がある。とありましたがなるほど納得。いずれまた来ようと思えるお風呂でした。

360 degree panoramic view are awesome! Even Mt. Fuji could be seen if the sky is clear.

Beautiful views, well worth visiting & getting to the top. So peaceful & picturesque

A grassland plateau above the clouds Kurumayama is a grassland plateau situated at 1925m between Lake Shirakaba and Kirigamine, along the panoramic road known as Venus Line. Like the nearby Lake Shirakaba, Kurumayama is a mountain resort which offers a great selection of activities in the middle of nature. A ski lift which operates all year round can bring you at the top of Mt. Kuruma-yama in 15min. From there on a clear day you can enjoy a breath-taking 360-degree panoramic view of Mt. Fuji, the Yatsugatake Mountains, the three ranges of the Alps, Mt. Asama and more. Nature is capricious but Kurumayama can boast an unparalleled high “clear sky ratio”, so chances are you can take a great picture. If you are an early riser, we suggest you try the sunrise lift. On the weekend, the lift opening time is sometimes anticipated to take you to the top before dawn so you can see the sun rise. With the right weather conditions, you might also see a picturesque sea of clouds form at the foot of the mountains. In winter, the mountain turns into a ski slope. Kurumayama Kogen Skypark Ski Resort features a wide piste with few trees, a layout which is fun for everyone from beginners to more expert skiers and snowboarders. Kurumayama and the adjacent Kirigamine are also a great spot for hiking. Once you are on top Mt. Kuruma-yama, you have access to a trail with hardly any ups and downs, perfect for any age and level. A light walk of about 4h will take you through Kirigamine to Yashima Wetland and back. Back in the day the area used to be a grazing ground and the locals kept vegetation growth under control to make sure they had soft nice grass for the cattle. Nowadays there are no more cows, but the scenery remains unchanged. The gentle slopes forming the plateau of Kurumayama and Kirigamine are covered by a thick layer of grass which is livened up by colorful flowers in the summer and pampas dancing in the wind in autumn. There are over 600 types of flowers growing in the area, but a special mention goes to nikko-kisuge, yellow daylilies, which covers the hills of Kurumayama and Kirigamine in mid-July. Seasons: *The dates below are approximate and may slightly vary depending on the weather.

Nice View!!!!

In no time

The altitude is not so high but the view is wonderful because it is an independent peak with no trees or mountains to block around. Although it is good even in the summer when it becomes grassland, I think that the snow covering period is the best. There is a lift just below the top, and you can go to the top of the big outlook by just a few climbs. Mt. Yatsugatake, Mt. Fuji, Southern Alps, Central Alps, Mt. Ontake, Mt. Norikura, North Alps, Mt. Asama, ...! It's a wonderful view as if you were in the center of Japan. Climbing this much easier, there are not so many mountains with spectacular views. Moreover, descending is skiing and it is in a blink of an eye to the foot. Please come and enjoy the scenic beauty on fine day of clear air in winter season.

Nice

Very beautiful Many thanks to the Buddhist priest for his hospitality

If your looking for an autumn 🍂 viewing then this temple is one of the best. Although it’s small area but if you want to see this kind of momiji (Japanese maple plant) in stanning red color. 🥰🤩

It is an extremely beautiful place. The momiji leaves are the most beautiful I have ever seen. It was well worth it to come here. I recommend it if you are looking for a stunning autumn leaves location.

It was such a beautiful place.

Beautiful 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

(Translated by Google) November 7, 2025 I visited this place because it's famous for its autumn maple leaves. It seems to be a popular tourist spot, even buses stop there. I think the leaves will start to fall around mid-November. There's also a large ginkgo tree, and the contrast of red and yellow is beautiful. (Original) 2025/11/7 モミジの紅葉が有名とのことで訪問しました。バスも立ち寄る観光名所のようです。 11月中旬くらいだと落葉もし始めるかと思います また大きなイチョウの木もあり赤と黄色のコントラストが綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) We visited the shrine while touring the three Suwa autumn foliage mountains beloved by the feudal lord. It seems it was still about a week too early for the leaves to change color. The path to the shrine was beautiful with its autumn leaves, but the expression of the Bodhisattva statue, which was labeled "Kagome," was especially gentle and beautiful. There was a guide at the parking lot who quickly directed us to where to park. This was very helpful as we visited in a camper van. (Original) お殿様が愛した諏訪紅葉三山めぐりで、伺いました。紅葉にはまだ1週間ほど早かったようです。 紅葉の参道も素敵でしたが、「かごめ」と案内のあった菩薩様の表情がとても柔らかで素敵でした。 駐車場には案内の方がいて、素早く駐車場所を指示してくれました。キャンピングカーで伺ったので、とても助かりました。

Great museum. Shows Artifacts from this area, around 5,000 years ago. The pottery is particularly interesting given detail. Tools used on display. Reconstructed huts near the museum evoke living space in days past. Definitely worth a visit. 500 yen admission per adult

It was like you were sucked back to the Jomon period. Amazing history! There is an English pamphlets from the counter. I went there alone but there was a group that was guided by a historian, I tagged along for more info. Every relics and clay made has a story to tell. Behold! There is a joyous Jomon fire festival at night on the 1st week of October where they sets up several bonfire. Free hot soba soup and tea are served too. Bring a picnic mat for sitting on the grass. Dance and enjoy your night away! So ethnically tribal!

A very interesting museum showing the history of human settlements in this region of Japan. Some really nice examples of earthenware and stone tools, as well as some recreations on the grass huts that works have been used. The grounds were delightful to walk through (although the "Big Rock" is probably not worth the longer walk, particularly if anyone has walking difficulties... It's not very big!!)

Discover the elegant aesthetic of Japanese prehistoric art The region has a long history going back to the dawn of Japanese civilization, over ten thousand years ago. In those bountiful and peaceful times following the ice age that we call the Jomon period, people led a serene lifestyle which allowed them to pursue artistic proficiency in their crafts. The over 2000 relics that were excavated at the foot of the Yatsugatake all but confirm that. If you like art and design, we suggest you pay a visit to Togari-ishi Museum to explore the ancient and mysterious world of Jomon art. The museum features a great number of elaborated clay figurines, bowls, jars and utensils made of obsidian. The pride of the collection are the statuettes of the “Jomon Venus” and the “Masked Goddess”, both designated as National Treasures,. The two exhibits which dates back to 4,000-3,000 BC are voluptuous and graceful, executed with great attention to details. In the park adjacent to the museum you can explore six traditional Jomon pit dwellings which have been reconstructed to show visitors what a village of that time would like.

Half-baked. The english version of the website doesn't include trip-critical information about their hands-on ceramic experience. It also fails to mention that the hands-on experience is not available when the work area is booked for group classes and where that information is found. I tried emailing them a few weeks prior to travel and they never replied. The facility itself has really quite a nice quiet atmosphere, and it's clear they have gone to some effort to make their instructions usable for all(using pictures)- but- the instructions are for a solid clay figurine, so it can't be fired or posted. The reason I go off the beaten path is to discover and recommend new things, and in the process help the local businesses, but this time I find myself forced to give a low rating. Would I have braved the sparse bus service to go here had I known I was going to be lugging 1kg of wet clay around for the rest of my trip? Hell no!

If you are interested in Japanese archaeology, especially the Jomon period (16,500 to 2,400 years ago), you can't miss this place, where you can see the national treasure standing clay figurines up close.　At this facility, you can view two national treasure clay figurines （Jomon Venus and the Masked Goddess）and several pieces of pottery, as well as many valuable Jomon period relics.

(Translated by Google) Visited on September 27th. This is an archaeological museum I've always dreamed of. It houses the Jomon Venus, the Masked Goddess, and two national treasures. I've seen them many times at exhibitions, but this was my first time at their home. The richness of the Jomon period blossomed at the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains. A must-see for clay figurines and pottery lovers. You won't get bored even if you spend the whole day there! (Original) 9/27訪問 憧れの考古館です 縄文のビーナス 仮面の女神 国宝二体が鎮座 展覧会では何度も会ってますが本拠地は初 八ヶ岳山麓に花ひらいた縄文の豊かさ 土偶好き 土器好きにはたまらない 一日いても飽きません！

A popular spot for photo enthusiasts to capture beautiful scenes. Visiting towards the end of October, with the mountains ablaze in the hues of red and yellow leaves, provides a picturesque backdrop at the Misyakaike Pond area. Enjoy the tranquil beauty of the Misyakaike Pond, highlighted by the changing autumn foliage. Even for those not keen on photography, a visit to this area offers the chance to appreciate the surrounding environment.

This hidden gem is quite a distance from the city, making it inaccessible without a car. While driving is suggested, the breathtaking views and wonderful air quality are absolutely worth the trip. It's highly recommended if you can spare the time to take a walk and appreciate the surroundings.

2024.08 A very nice and quiet pond, originally built as reservoir usage. When there is no wind, the reflection is so beautiful ~~~

We walked to this pond as an extension of our hike through the Yokoya Gorge (we started from the Otome Falls and finished at the Oshidori Falls - which are nearby and also worth a visit). You can also go by car, but I wouldn't recommend it. The day we were there (3rd week of October), it was quite crowded with bus loads of tourists, and because the parking lots are quite small, the cars were backed up down the road while people waited for parking spots. The pond is certainly worth visiting. The reflection of the blue sky and fall colours in the pond was quite impressive.

We went on January 1st and onset of winter, the roads leading up to it were icy in a few places so don’t recommend going without winter tires as it’s very risky. It’s not a very big place and it’s ok to visit if you are enroute to somewhere else but not just for this. There were a lot of other cars covered in snow and they have a dedicated large trucks and earth movers parking and a nice public toilet with AC.

The mirror lake is difficult to reach even by car due to tight turns and narrow one car sized roads. But once there, you can park, use the portable restrooms and walk over to the mirror lake. You can only see it from the side of the road so don't expect to get any closer. It can get crowded but the best place to stand is in the middle to capture the tree and cloud reflections.

This is a pond for agriculture, but become famous for the work paintedby Higashiyama Kaii, a famous Japanese painter. Beautiful.

Nice viewing of garden and mountain in the background thru the very large windows. The restaurant has relaxing ambience, good service and comfortable seating. Lunch menu is reasonable, although dinner menu is a little pricey and rich in its variety. Advance booking allows you to choose the window table

A very mediocre venue. The food was bland and not made with local ingredients. The atmosphere was sterile. The restaurant had tried too hard to make everything pristine and perfect and forgotten to add any genuine atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time when I was staying in Tateshina. It's a wonderful place with a view of the Yatsugatake Mountains right in front of you. Everything looked delicious for lunch, so it was hard to decide. The menu changes about once a month and a half. I can see why it's named after the Imperial Hotel. The food was carefully prepared and looked beautiful. The service was attentive. I had a very good time. Unless you have a villa nearby, it's difficult to get there without a car. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that I couldn't sit back and enjoy a glass of wine (lol). I'd definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 蓼科滞在の際、初めて伺いました。 八ヶ岳が正面に見える、すてきな場所ですね。 ランチはどれもおいしそうで迷いました。1ヶ月半くらいでメニューが変わるそうです。 「帝国ホテル」のお名前がついているのが納得。丁寧に調理された見た目も大変美しいお料理。行き届いたサービス。とてもよい時間が過ごせました。 すぐ近くに別荘お持ちの方でなければ、車がないとアクセスが難しいですね。 ゆっくりワインも飲めたらなあ、とそこだけが残念（笑） またぜひ伺いたいです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) Visited on Sunday dinner time in July 2024. We received the same course and kids plate as last year. The menu changes regularly, so it's never exactly the same as last year. Again, great food and service. We had such a wonderful time that ☆5 is not enough. Visited during weekday dinner time in August 2023. I made a reservation for the ``Ryujin Pond Shore'' course and the kids plate for 3,200 yen (reservations required for dinner and kids plate). When I made the reservation, I was told that ``During the busy season, there is no à la carte service during dinner time,'' so if you want to eat à la carte, it's best to check in advance. Also, the menu changes regularly, so it's a good idea to check the website, including prices. The restaurant's atmosphere, service, and food are perfect, as it bears the name "Imperial Hotel." Personally, I felt that the quality was more than enough for the price. I think it's mainly used by villa owners, but it can also be used by the general public. You can also bring your children with you, and there are children's chairs available. I am grateful for such a wonderful French restaurant and its openness to accept families with children. In addition, the entrance is like a hotel entrance, so everyone except the driver can get off directly at the entrance, which I thought was a good idea when the weather was bad. There is a 10% service charge. (Original) 2024年7月の日曜ディナータイムに訪問。 昨年と同じコースとキッズプレートをいただきました。 メニューは定期的に変わるため、去年と全く同じということはありませんでした。 やはり素晴らしい料理とサービスです。 ☆5では足りないくらい、素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。 2023年8月の平日ディナータイムに訪問。 コースの「竜神池のほとり」とキッズプレート3200円を予約（ディナーとキッズプレートは要予約）して伺いました。予約した際に「繁忙期はディナータイムにアラカルトがない」とのことでしたので、アラカルトを食べたい方は事前に確認するのがよいです。 また、定期的にメニュー内容が変わるので、価格も含めてホームページで確認しておくとよいと思います。 お店の雰囲気、サービス、料理は「帝国ホテル」の名前を出しているだけあって申し分ないです。個人的には、十分に価格以上のクオリティーがあると感じました。 別荘オーナーの利用が中心かと思いますが、一般客も利用ができます。また子連れの利用も可能で、子供用の椅子も用意がありました。 こんなに素敵なフレンチで、子連れを受け入れる懐の広さに感謝です。 その他、入口はホテルのエントランスのようになっているので、運転手以外は入口に直付けで降りることができるのも天気が悪いときは良いと思いました。 サービス料10％あります。

(Translated by Google) It's a luxurious restaurant where you can dine in peace and quiet. I had the hamburger set + soup. I think the hamburger could have been a little bigger. (Original) 高級感のあるレストランで静かに落ち着いて食事が出来る。ハンバーグセット＋スープを頂きました😋バンバーグはもうちょっと大きくても良いと思いました😋

(Translated by Google) You can also buy just the bread at the Imperial Hotel. The atmosphere is clearly on another level, and I look forward to visiting occasionally. I'm truly grateful that Tateshina has a restaurant of this caliber nearby. (Original) インペリアルホテルのパンだけ買う事も可能です。佇まいが明らかに別次元で、偶に行くのが楽しみ。近所にこのレベルのレストランがある蓼科、本当にありがたいです。

(Translated by Google) During my trip to Tateshina, I suddenly stopped by a high-end French restaurant. Being part of the Imperial Hotel chain, we were able to enjoy a somewhat luxurious lunch while looking out at the large garden. (Original) 蓼科旅行の折、急遽寄った高級フランス料理店。帝国ホテル系列というだけあって、広いお庭を眺めながら少し贅沢なランチを楽しむことができました。

local food and sophisticated twist. nice view!

(Translated by Google) ▼Lunch visit on Saturday, January 25, 2025 This restaurant is located at the top of Kurumayama Quad Lift "SKY LINER" at Kurumayama Kogen Ski Resort. It has a nice view, a clean and stylish atmosphere. It's also nice that the tables and chairs are comfortable. What I received was Top's curry (1,300 yen). You can choose from beef, chicken, pork, or keema and comes with a mini salad. It's an elegant curry and delicious, but I wish it had a little more quantity. (Original) ▼2025年1月25日(土) ランチ訪問 車山高原スキー場の、車山クワッドリフト「SKY LINER」を登ったところにあるレストラン。 見晴らしが良く、清潔でオシャレな雰囲気です。 テーブルや椅子がゆったりとしているのも良いですね。 いただいたのはTop'sカレー(1,300円)。 ミニサラダ付でビーフ、チキン、ポーク、キーマから選べます。 上品なカレーで美味しいですが、もう少し量が欲しいところですね～

(Translated by Google) I stopped by Kurumayama Kogen Ski Resort for lunch break. Pork curry🍛It was delicious. The hot soup that comes with it is also delicious~🩷I also ordered it with coffee affogato! The person next to me was ordering pizza, and it was baked in a pizza oven, so it looked really delicious! And since the weather was nice, we could even see a glimpse of Mt. Fuji! Great 😊 I stayed too long! I was able to pay using PayPay. (Original) 車山高原スキー場でお昼休憩にお邪魔しました。 ポークカレー🍛美味しかった〜。添えつけの温かいスープも美味しい〜🩷コーヒーアフォガードもつけて、注文！隣りの方はピザを注文されていましたが、ピザ窯で焼いているのでとっーても美味しそうでした！そしてお天気良かったので富士山もちらり見えて！最高😊長居してしまいました！支払いはPayPayつかえました。

(Translated by Google) I have not been to Kurumayama Kogen Ski Resort during the peak season, so I will refrain from commenting on it. (at normal evaluation) This will be the lift transfer point. . . However, since I'm a boarder, the next lift is a little higher up, so it might be difficult to transfer if you're snowboarding. |(￣3￣)| (Original) 車山高原スキー場にオンシーズンに来ていないので評価は控えます。（ノーマル評価にて） リフトの乗り継ぎ場所になります。。。ただオイラはボーダーなんで、次のリフトの位置が少々上ゆえスノーボードなら乗り継ぎが大変かと。|(￣3￣)|

(Translated by Google) (2024.12) The menu has changed again this season. Meals include pizza, curry, and doria. We had Keema curry (1300 yen), today's mixed pizza (1300 yen), and craft cola (700 yen). Everything was delicious, but the pizza was made in a frying pan instead of a pot. The size is also a little smaller. Craft cola is made by adding carbonation to brown sugar syrup that contains various ingredients. Thank you for your delicious meal. (2024.1) The management policy has also changed, and things have gotten better. The pizza baked in a stone oven is delicious, and French press coffee and tea are now available on the menu. The view is still beautiful, and the ceiling, which was peeling, has been repaired and looks beautiful. Unfortunately, if there are a lot of orders for pizza, you may have to wait an hour. In that case, there is no problem if you repeat the panoramic course. (2021.2) I've had lunch there many times while skiing. Over the past few years, costs have come down significantly, and cafes have gone from being fancy cafes to simple meals made from frozen foods. There used to be curry made with wild game venison. . If it's sunny, you can clearly see Yatsugatake and Sky Park Hotel from the window, which is very pleasant. I hope it doesn't become just a rest area in the near future. (Original) （2024.12） 今シーズンまたメニューが変わっていました。食事はピザ、カレー、ドリアなど。キーマカレー(1300円)と本日のミックスピザ(1300円)、クラフトコーラ(700円)をいただきました。どれも美味しかったですがピザは釜ではなくフライパンで作られていました。サイズも少し小さめ。クラフトコーラは色々なものを入れている黒糖のシロップに炭酸を足して作ります。美味しゅうございました。 （2024.1） また運営方針が変わったのか、良くなっていました。石釜で焼くピザは美味しく、フレンチプレスコーヒーやティーがメニューに加わりました。景色は相変わらずいいし、剥げかけていた天井も補修されてキレイになっていました。 惜しむらくは、ピザのオーダーが重なると一時間待ちもあること。その時はパノラマコースを繰り返せば問題なし。 （2021.2） 何回もスキーでランチをいただいています。ここ数年でコストダウンが著しく、センスのいいカフェから、ただの冷凍食品を利用したゲレ食になりました。かつてはジビエの鹿肉のカレーなどもあったのですが。。 晴れていれば窓からは八ヶ岳とスカイパークホテルがよく見え、とても気持ちいいです。近い将来、ただの休憩所にならないことを祈っています。

(Translated by Google) My family and I went there on a drizzly morning in the summer of 2025. The weather was awful, with almost no riders on the ropeway. Although it was hard to tell from the outside, the restaurant was open as usual. The staff were incredibly kind, and we had an unforgettable experience! The blue cheese and honey pizza was delicious (^^) (Original) 2025年夏、霧雨時の午前中にファミリーで行きました。ロープウェイ利用客はほぼ0で天候は最悪でしたが、店外からは、分かりづらいですがレストランは通常営業してます。 スタッフさんの人柄がとても、とても良くて、 一生忘れられない想い出を頂きました！ ブルーチーズ/はちみつピザ美味しかったです(^^)

(Translated by Google) We took the Kurumayama Ropeway on a family trip and stopped off for a meal along the way. The weather was nice, so the views were spectacular, and the freshly baked pizza from the pizza oven was delicious. We ordered two kinds of juice. The presentation was great, and the cotton candy shaped like a sea of clouds was interesting. The carbonation had gone flat, so I was hoping for a sweet soda-like taste, which was disappointing. I think if they could improve the flavor, people would probably come back. The staff were foreign, and they were polite and quick, which was very helpful. (Original) 家族旅行で車山ロープウェイに乗り、途中の食事に寄った。 天気が良かったので景色が良く、ピザ窯の焼き立てピザが美味しかったです。 ジュースを2種頼みました。見栄えはとても良くて雲海に見立てた綿あめは面白かったです。 お味は炭酸が抜けたで甘い汁ソーダって感じで期待してただけに残念。味の精度を上げればリピートされるんじゃないかな。 外国の方が接客していますが、丁寧だし手早くて助かった。

Average miso ramen. The atmosphere was bland, like the ramen. One good thing was a free bowl of rice., but I wouldn't go back.

Very Good Food! Ramen is special and has an outstanding flavor. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

(Translated by Google) When I was looking for a shop around here around 22:00 on Sunday, It's a regular holiday or this last order is over, I can hardly find any stores to buy it. . . The parking lot is large and the store is empty. I chose this restaurant because the seats are spacious. It was my first time to eat Kurumaya Ramen, so I ordered the recommended “Negi Miso”🍜 It looked more delicious than the menu photo lol The soup and noodles mixed together very well and were delicious! ️ Also, the spicy offal I ordered on the side had no smell. The balance of sauce and spiciness was also very good. I was satisfied with the rice! ️ “Negi miso ramen”…¥1,000 (tax included) (Original) 日曜日の22:00頃にこの辺りでお店を探していると、 定休日かこのラストオーダーが終わっている状態で、 入れるお店がほとんど見当たらず。。。 駐車場も広くて、店内も空いていて、 席も広々としているので、こちらのお店を利用しました🚘 くるまやラーメンは初めて入ったので、 おすすめの「ねぎみそ」を注文しました🍜 メニュー写真より美味しそうなのが出てきてw スープも麺もとてもよく絡んでいて美味しくいただけました‼️ またサイドで注文した辛もつは、臭みもなく、 ソースと辛味のバランスもとても良かったので、 ご飯と一緒に満足しました‼️ 「ねぎみそラーメン」…¥1,000(税込)

(Translated by Google) Hello! Today, I went to Kurumaya Ramen Suwa, located near Suwa Interchange in Nagano Prefecture. Open daily from 11 AM to midnight, they have miso, salt, and soy sauce. They also have a wide selection of rice dishes, set meals, and extra toppings. Today, I ordered the Shoyu Chashu (1,220 yen), Miso Vegetable Ramen (1,100 yen), and two plates of gyoza (400 yen). They also have ramen, gyoza, gyoza bento boxes, and fried rice on the takeout menu. (Original) こんにちは♫今日は長野県諏訪インタ〜近くの「くるまやラ〜メン諏訪店」さんに行って来ました♫営業時間はAM11時〜AM0時まで年中無休♫味噌󠄀、塩、醤油、どれでもあるよ♫ご飯物、定食、追加トッピングも充実♫今日は「しょうゆチャ〜シュウ(1220円)と「みそ野菜ラ〜メン1100円)、ギョ〜ザ(400円)✕２皿を頂きました♫お持ち帰りメニュ〜も、ラ〜メン、ギョ〜ザ、餃子弁当、チャ〜ハンもあるよ♫

(Translated by Google) It's hard to find a restaurant late at night, but this one is open late. The seasoning is suitable for everyone, so it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. I asked for the noodles to be firm, but unfortunately they were a little soft. The seasoning was strong, so I wish I had slurped them down with more of a chewy texture. That's what I thought, but it was delicious. Thank you to the energetic staff for a delicious meal. (Original) 深夜の時間ですとなかなかお店も見つかりませんが、此方の店舗は遅くまでお店を開けてくれています。 味付けは万人向けの味付けですが、それ故子供から大人まで美味しく頂けます。 麺を硬めでお願いしましたが、ちょっと弛めで残念でした。 しっかりした味付けだったので、歯ごたえよく啜り上げたかったなぁ。とは思いましたが美味しく頂きましたよ。 元気の良いスタッフさんと、美味しい1食ありがとう御座いました。

My friends and I drove about 45 minutes from Yamanashi to get to this lovely ramen joint. The establishment is cramped and the parking lot is a bit small but the delicious food more than makes up for it! I couldn’t read the menu very well because it was mostly Kanji but I ended up ordering a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen with garlic, and extra egg, and a side of gyoza. It was probably the best ramen I’ve ever had. The chashu was tender and fell apart in the broth and the egg had been boiled and marinated in soy sauce but had a runny yolk. The broth was amazing! It was salty, rich, but had a slight kick to it. I washed everything down with an ice cold Coke, which was the perfect addition to my meal. When I went to pay it was a bit expensive: Around ¥1,700 for just myself. But honestly, it was worth it. I still think about the delicious ramen I ate at this restaurant and I can’t wait to visit again!

Best ramen we ate across our 3 weeks japan. You eat with locals and the broth is oh so delicious. Would recommend to try it! The gyoza's were also great!

Great miso broth with nice char grilled pork belly slices

That was really delicious 🤤 definitely worth waiting

food was very tasty and restaurant was very cozy. would love to visit again.

When I lived in Chino I would walk here once a week for ramen. Best I've ever had. I really miss it.

Built in an old miso storehouse wirh a unique character - Ramen served steaming hot with many slightly over the top and fun topping combinations

You can find many activities here, such as boat tours, hiking, walking, and BBQ. There were a lot of camping cars.

Lake Shirakaba has become a tourist destination, but the 3.8km running course around it is a blessing. In summer, university relay teams from all over the country come here for training camps, and bicycle manufacturers' athletes come here, making it a mecca for sports. You'll want to applaud the athletes with familiar team names.

A bit too commercialized but still beautiful. We visited in Fall and saw the maples with different shades of colors.

Beautiful nature scenery and peaceful vibes.

Not good timing to visit in May. Trees without leaves & windy.

Really a good place to chill. The best view point be one along the Venus Line where you can watch the lake from above

Scenic lake at a sky resort town. We went off-season so there wasn’t much to do, since most stores and restaurants were closed. We skipped the Teddy Bear museum - clearly a tourist trap. The area seems has been a tourist spot since a long time - some shops haven’t seem any renovation and have a retro feel. Lawson convenience store saved our lives. Thank you!

Pre-intermediate skiier here. Good skiing ground for intermediate skiiers. They do have beginner slopes but it rained several days before so they left the beginner slopes unattended, which is a pity. Also the snow is thin.

Nice ski resort

Royal hill is a ski resort near Lake Shirakaba.

(Translated by Google) I went to Shirakabako Royal Hill in Nagano Prefecture to go skiing. I headed to the slopes with excitement and excitement. The ski slopes are in good condition as there is more snow than usual. It had been a while since I skied, but I was able to pick up the pace right away, as if my body was still learning how to ski. How long was it slipping... Of course, from sunrise to sunset! ! Throughout the day, we were able to fully enjoy the charm of Lake Shirakaba Royal Hill. Thanks to you, my muscles are sore all over my body! Shirakabako Royal Hill is a wonderful ski resort that can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to experts. I would definitely like to visit again. (Original) スキーをしに、長野県にある白樺湖ロイヤルヒルへと足を運んでみました。 ワクワクと胸を高鳴らせながらゲレンデへと向かいました。 例年より雪が多いとのことで、ゲレンデコンディションも良好。 久しぶりの滑走でしたが、体がスキーを覚えているのか、すぐにペースに乗ることができました。 どれくらい滑っていたか・・・ もちろん日の出から行って日の入りまでーー！！ 一日を通して、白樺湖ロイヤルヒルの魅力をたっぷり味わうことができましたよ。 おかげで体中は筋肉痛ですが！ 白樺湖ロイヤルヒルは、初心者から上級者まで楽しめる素晴らしいスキー場ですね。また、ぜひ訪れてみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) Although the slope is compact, it is a challenging ski slope. The snow quality is good and the weather is stable. As posted on the website and social media, it certainly feels like there will be a lot of sunshine. There are also plenty of kicker and rail parks. A ski slope that you will never get tired of. This is a ski resort that everyone from families to advanced skiers can enjoy. (Original) ゲレンデの規模はコンパクトだけど、滑りごたえあります。 雪質もよく、天候が安定している。HPやSNS掲載通り、確かに晴れが多いと感じる。 キッカーやレールのパーク等も充実していて 飽きないゲレンデ。 ファミリーからコアな上級者まで楽しめるスキー場です。

(Translated by Google) Despite being a small ski resort, it's a great option for fun. During the day, especially on weekends, it's always packed! The night ski resort is open every day from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm, and there are few people, making it a great place to practice. The place is well-located and easy to access. The only problem is that it's been snowing less each year, and the slopes are getting harder. * It's now March 2024, and I went on the 12th. It snowed heavily all day, and I was able to ski in powder snow almost 30 cm thick. ☃️☃️☃️ It was a lot of fun! If it doesn't rain, the slopes will remain good with enough snow until the beginning of April. (Original) Apesar de ser uma estação de esquie pequena , é uma ótima opção para se divertir, durante o dia principalmente nos finais de semana sempre está lotado! A noite funciona todos os dias das 17:30 às 21:30 horas e tem pouca gente por isso é muito bom para treinar. O lugar tem uma boa localização e de fácil acesso. O único problema é que tem nevado pouco a cada ano que passa, e as pistas ficam mais duras. * Agora é mês de Março de 2024 e fui dia 12 durante o dia inteiro nevou bastante e pude esquiar na neve em pó de quase 30 cm☃️☃️☃️foi muito divertido! Se não chover as pistas vão continuar boas com neve suficiente até o começo de Abril❄️

(Translated by Google) Visited at the end of December 2012. The parking lot is on the lakeside at the bottom of the hill, and there is no guide sign. If you follow the Shirakaba Lake Royal Hill sign up the hill, you will turn around and return to the parking lot. Many people drove up to the ski resort and dropped off their luggage. It is quite tiring to climb up with skis. The free rest room is located just past the front desk on the first floor of the hotel. You can also get to the restaurant from the elevator or stairs near the reception. There were only four tables on weekdays, but this number increases to 18 on weekends. There were many notices such as not allowing food or drink to be brought in on the second floor and not leaving luggage unattended, but there was no sign of the rest room. (Original) 24年12月末訪問 駐車場が坂下の湖畔にあり案内看板は見当たりません。 白樺湖ロイヤルヒル　の看板に沿って坂を登ると切り返して駐車場に戻ることになります。 車でスキー場前に乗り付けて荷物を降ろす人が多かったです。 板を持って登るのは結構疲れます。 無料休憩室はホテル1階のフロント前を通過した先にあります。 レストランの受付近くのエレベーター、階段からも移動できました。 平日はテーブルが4つしかありませんでしたが、週末は18個に増えていました。 2階フロアでの持ち込み飲食禁止、荷物置きっぱなし禁止などの注意書きは多かったのですが、休憩室の案内などが見当たりませんでした。

Nice ski resorts, with just enough of everything - variety of slopes, services in the ski centre and also good access. I would say there are more slopes for beginners than advanced.

Probably one of the best places to ski in shirokaba. Facilities are really up to par with good mix of beginner and advanced runs.

This resort area is very good for all season. You can skiing in winter and hiking in summer. If you don't like hiking and just want to see from the top of mountain, you just only take a ski lift. But I recommend that hiking is much suitable in this nature.

Enjoy the magnificent panorama Get on the mountain lift and in 15 minutes ascend to the summit of Mt. Kurumayama at 1,925m of elevation. From the top you will have an unhindered 360-degree view of the three ranges of the Alps, the Yatsugatake Mountains, Mt. Asama and more. The scenery from the observation spot is truly superb and on Sundays and festivities the lift starts running before dawn so you can see the sun rising from behind the mountains. If you are lucky, you might see a sea of clouds engulfing the valley beneath. In the summer, the gentle grassy hills which form the Kirigamine plateau are covered by clusters of brightly colored alpine flowers, such as yellow day lilies and red azaleas. In winter, the mountain slopes are turned into a ski resort.

Nice highland park for summer hike. A ski lift can take you to the peak where multiple trails branch out. The lift btw is way too safe, slow, and close to the ground that even my 80yrd dad could enjoy it.

Typical tiny ski resort with poor snow conditions. Snow was mostly man-made, so it was icy on the morning and slushy in the afternoon. But access by car from Tokyo is good, which was the main reason we picked it.

Good place to ski. Slope is good for beginners as well as better skiers. Also a nice place to hike up in summer with beautiful views.

Located at the base of the mountain near the lift. They have a few free parking lot. Inside there's a souvenir store, with some basic mountain gear. A couple of restaurants too.

Meals are expensive and too salty. Yakiniku don had very little beef and rice was mushy. Tempura was too wet and not crispy. However, the view of the ski slopes was great. Would recommend to get food next door instead.

good

(Translated by Google) Kurumayama Sky Plaza is open in both winter and summer. There is a lift ticket sales booth. There is a souvenir shop on the first floor with a huge number of items. On the left side is a takeaway cafe with soft serve ice cream, small pancakes, waffles, etc. There is also an eat-in space, where you can eat while looking at the ski resort and plateau in summer. On the right side of the store is the Kurumayama Shrine office, where they sell goshuin and stamps of four kinds. The second floor is the main restaurant, which is very large and I think it can seat 500 people. The menu is rich, from slope food to Korean cold noodles, bibimbap cold noodles, teppanyaki hamburger, chicken grill, etc. It is convenient for taking a break or having lunch, and the windows are large so you can eat while looking at the view outside. There is a toilet at the back left of the first floor, but since there is no toilet at the top of Kurumayama, it is better to use it before taking the lift. (Original) 冬も夏も営業している車山スカイプラザ。リフト券の販売所があります。1Fにはお土産店凄い数の品物があります。左側にはテイクアウトカフェにはソフトクリーム、プチパンケーキ、ワッフルなどあり、イートインスペースもあり、夏のスキー場、高原を見ながら食べられます。店内に右側には車山神社社務所があり御朱印の販売やスタンプが4種類ありました。2Fはメインレストラン、とても広く500席はあると思います。メニューも豊富でゲレンデ食から韓国水冷麺､ビビンバ冷麺、鉄板焼きハンバーグ　チキングリルなど休憩や昼食にも便利に利用出来ますし窓が大きく外の景色を見ながら食事も出来ます。1F左側奥にトイレがあり、車山山頂上にはトイレが無いのでリフト乗車前に使用した方が良いです。

(Translated by Google) The Sky Plaza has Wi-Fi. There was a wide variety of souvenirs, which was exciting to look around. Lift tickets to the summit are available at the entrance to the plaza. There are automatic ticket vending machines and staffed ticket booths. You can get a 10% discount if you purchase in advance through ASOVIEW. Just in case, it's a good idea to bring an umbrella or other rain gear. The weather on the mountain is changeable. You'll need to change lifts halfway up the mountain. There's also a restaurant halfway up. There are no toilets, drink vendors, or mountain huts at the summit. The terrace has benches and an open feel. The breeze is pleasant. There are also various photo spots, so you can enjoy taking photos. You can enjoy skiing in the winter, and it can be enjoyed throughout the year. There are also trekking trails, so wearing mountain climbing gear and hiking are also recommended. The trails are rugged, but well maintained. (Original) スカイプラザはWi-Fiあります。 お土産もいろいろな種類がありわくわくしながら見て回れました。 山頂へのリフト券もプラザ入るところにあります。自動券売機もありますし、有人の販売もあります。アソビューで事前購入すると10%OFFです。 念の為、傘などの雨具は持っていったほうがいいでしょう。山の天気は変わりやすいです。 リフトは中腹で乗り換える必要があります。中腹にもレストランがあります。 山頂にはトイレも飲み物の販売も山小屋もありません。 テラスはベンチもあり開放的な感じです。風も通り気持ちいいです。 写真撮るスポットもいろいろ用意してあるので楽しみながら撮影できると思います。 冬はスキーと春夏秋冬様々季節で楽しめることができると思います。 トレッキングコースもあるので山登り装備してハイキングも良いかと思います。コースはゴツゴツしてはおりますが整備されております。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for lunch while on a motorcycle tour. Orders can be made via the touch panel and paid for with your smartphone. I ordered the curry soba and it was delicious. However, those who ordered fried rice said it had no flavor at all. Are the dishes on the menu hit or miss? (Original) バイクツーリングでランチの為利用しました。 註文はタッチパネルでスマホ決済可能。 自分はカレーそばを注文して食しましたがとても美味しかったです。チャーハンを頼んだ方々曰く全く味が無かったとの事。 メニューにより当たり外れあるのか？

(Translated by Google) A nostalgic Showa-era ski resort restaurant. It's the Reiwa era but it still has that Showa-era feel. Curry udon 1000 yen, katsu curry 1650 yen. One thing I noticed when coming to Kurumayama is that many of the people working at the restaurants and hotels are of Southeast Asian descent. (Original) 懐かしの昭和のスキー場なレストラン。 令和だけど相変わらずの昭和な感じ。 カレーうどん1000円、カツカレー1650円。 車山に来て思うのは、レントランやホテル働いている人は東南アジア系の人が多いなってこと。

I went this summer, it was very hot, and maybe that’s why there wasn't much to see in terms of flowers. I think in the spring it should be beautiful.

A lovely English garden with heaps of plants and trees and shrubs in a beautiful location. There is an Alice in Wonderland garden a perfect setting for photo ops, a Rose Garden, A Bakery, Boutique and a Cafe. It was a pleasant change from the structured Japanese Garden with severe pruning and rock arrangements. Located in the Tateshina Highlands it’s a pleasant space to spend some time and wander around especially during the spring and summer months.

Beautiful English garden, not big but rich and relaxing. It has a restaurant and the seating area is nice too. Entrance fee and restaurant prices are reasonable. If you plan to come here again, buy the annual pass which is only a few hundred yen more and will pay back immediately on your next visit. Free carpark is available

Glad we only paid the lower winter price, even in full bloom in summer the garden it to small to the cost of the entry ticket. I am sure that the garden is very different to many other open gardens in Japan, and is a unique experience. We did not use the cafe, although had planned to due to a coach tour taking too long to be served.

Amazing oasis of Britishness. Beutiful gardens.

Impressive feat to build a garden like this from scratch , zero and documented inside by pictures of how it looked on day one through work to completion. Unfortunately end of september while still pretty seems to be about 8 weeks too late to see all blossoming.

Delicious fish and chips. The chef was a nice guy! Plenty of salt and vinegar too!

This facility caters for out of town folk as well as locals. ¥600 adult admission when I went. Good sized clean and well run. The male and female sides appear to alternate dry and steam "sauna" room. There's a large hot bath and a smaller cooler (perhaps body temperature) bath. No outdoor bath but you can go out to admire the view and cool and dry in the open air.

(Translated by Google) Locals pay 300 yen. Away price is 600 yen. Bathrooms with dry and mist saunas are swapped between men and women. This time I was on the mist sauna side, but there was no water bath. There are no chairs in place. The open-air bath was also closed during the winter. The hot springs were not sulfur springs, but rather the type of hot springs you would see in light brown Tokyo, and perhaps because they were public hot springs, the chlorine was quite effective, so from my perspective, the hot water wasn't very exciting. There's no dining room either, so I think it's a bath for the locals to use on a daily basis. However, there is only one standing shower booth at the exit of the sauna, where you can take a cold bath, take a break in a chair for those with a weight loss or a handicapped person, and then take a dip in the cold mineral springs, which are at an insensible temperature.The temperature is quite high for a mist sauna, so it's quite nice. The hot springs have relatively high temperatures, so it's good to take hot and cold baths between hot springs. It's a modest bath, but I'd like to come back again. (Original) 地元の人は300円。アウェイは600円。男女交代でドライとミストサウナのある浴室が入れ替わります。今回はミストサウナ側でしたが、水風呂はありませんでした。整い椅子もありません。露天風呂も冬季閉鎖中でした。 温泉も硫黄泉ではなく、薄茶の東京とかで見るタイプの温泉で、公共のお湯のせいか、塩素もしっかり効いている主観としては、あまり盛り上がらないお湯でした。 食堂も無いので、地元の為の普段使いのお風呂なんだと思います。 でも、一つだけある、サウナ出口の立って浴びるシャワーブースで冷え冷えの水浴びて、カラン用の椅子か、ハンディキャップ持ち用の椅子で、休んでから不感温の冷鉱泉に入るとミストサウナとしてはしっかり温度上がっている事もありなかなか良いです。温泉は比較的高温なので、温泉同士の温冷浴も良いです。地味だけど、また寄りたいお風呂です。

(Translated by Google) Public hot spring facilities in Chino City Outside the city 600 yen It was empty on the day I went, so that was good. It gets extremely crowded during Obon and other high seasons. The changing room is half locked and half has shelves. Hair dryer is 100 yen for 5 minutes The bathtub is spacious. No open-air bath. There are mist and dry saunas, but they change daily. (Original) 茅野市の公共温泉施設 市外600円 行った日は空いていたので、良かったです。お盆とかハイシーズンは無茶苦茶混みます。 脱衣所は鍵付きと棚が半々。 ドライヤーは5分100円 湯船は広め。露天風呂無し。 サウナはミストとドライがあるが、日替わりです

(Translated by Google) I haven't been to all of the municipal hot springs in Chino City, but the hot water was good. Most of the people here are local, so outsiders should understand that. (Original) 茅野市の市営温泉全部゜行ったわけではないですが、お湯はよかったですね。ほとんど地元の方が多いので、そのあたりは外部の人は理解した方がいいでしょうね。

(Translated by Google) I laughed at the number of washrooms. The water is lukewarm, but there is a low-temperature mist sauna with a temperature of 45℃, so if you want to warm up, please go there. It's good if it costs 600 yen. I was a little happy when I learned the character name of Yatsugatake Dairy Industry for the first time. (Original) 洗い場の多さに笑った。湯はぬるめだが45℃の低温ミストサウナがあるんで温まりたい人はそっちをどうぞ。これで600円なら良いよね。八ケ岳乳業のキャラ名を初めて知って少し嬉しくなったよ

(Translated by Google) A public hot spring. The water quality is not specified, but it has a high iron content, which gives the bath a brown color. There is no open-air bath, but in the summer you can go out to the outdoor space where you can sit in a chair outside and cool off. The sauna has a dry mist system, which is alternated between men and women depending on the day. There are two rest rooms, one large and one small, and milk and ice cream in the vending machine corner. (Original) 市民温泉。泉質には明記されていないが鉄分が多い湯で、湯船が茶色になっている。 露天は無いが夏季は屋外スペースに出られるようになっていて、外で椅子に座って涼める。 サウナはドライ・ミストが日によって男女入れ替え制。 休憩室は大小2つで自販機コーナーに牛乳やアイスあり。

(Translated by Google) It's cheaper than regular hot springs. The inside is clean and the bathtub is large, but there is no open-air bath. Hair dryers are available for an additional fee. The rest area is divided into several sections and is quite large. (Original) 一般的な温泉よりも安め 中も綺麗で浴槽も広いですが露天はないです。 ドライヤーが有料。 休憩エリアが複数に分かれていてかなり広いです。

This was our 2nd visit to these small but beautiful falls - which we passed across at the end of our hike through the Yokoya Gorge, and on out way to Mishakaike Pond.

Peaceful atmosphere

(Translated by Google) Meiji Onsen in Okutateshina. It really feels like it cleanses your soul. The steep, rusty steps leading down to the waterfall are also nice. Negative ions at full blast. You can bathe in them as much as you like. The Meiji Onsen building itself also creates a great atmosphere. It was very relaxing. (Original) 奥蓼科の明治温泉。 本当に心洗われる感じ。 滝に降りる急なサビついた階段もいい感じ。 マイナスイオン全開。 浴び放題。 明治温泉の建物がまたいい雰囲気を醸し出してます。 癒されました。

(Translated by Google) The Yokotani Gorge promenade was washed away by heavy rain, making it impossible to walk, but... You can still get there by car (*`･ω･)ゞ Park in the free parking lot on the main road and walk there! There's a hot spring facility right at the entrance to the falls, but if you're not using it, you can walk there. m(_ _)m (Original) 横谷峡の遊歩道は大雨で流されて、遊歩道は散策出来ないが… 車で移動しては行けます(*`･ω･)ゞ 大通りの無料駐車場に停めて徒歩で行きましょ〜！ 滝の入り口直ぐの所に温泉施設があるけど、利用しない人は徒歩でm(_ _)m

(Translated by Google) It's very close to Mishaka Pond. If you take a side road and continue a little further, you'll see the hot spring inn. With the inn directly ahead, head left toward the river to reach the waterfall. It's a fairly steep descent, but there are stairs, so it shouldn't be a problem. This waterfall is located at the entrance to the walking trail, and the surrounding rock faces are colored red, making for a unique view. Although the difference in elevation is not that great, the long, tiered waterfall creates a beautiful sight. The volume of water is also impressive. (Original) 御射鹿池からすぐ近くです 少し側道に入って進むと温泉宿が現れます。温泉宿を正面に左手、川のある方へ進むと滝に着きます。けっこうな勾配を 下りますが階段がありますので問題ないかと思います。 遊歩道の入口にある滝で周辺の岩肌に 赤く色が付いており、変わった景観が楽しめます。 高低差はさほどありませんが段瀑が長く 続いている景観は美しいです。 水量も多く見ごたえもありますよ。

(Translated by Google) Park your car at the Mishakaike parking lot and walk for 4 minutes (about 350m to the waterfall), which is a gentle downhill slope. Guests of Meiji Onsen Mishaka no Yu can drive up to the waterfall. However, it is not recommended for those with weak legs as you have to descend a steep iron staircase of about 18m. The waterfall is about 30m wide and has multiple tiers, so the drop is about 40m. It was a beautiful waterfall that I never got tired of looking at. (Original) 車は御射鹿池駐車場に止め徒歩4分（滝迄は350m程）緩い下りです。明治温泉御射鹿の湯御利用の方は車で滝のそば迄行けます。18m程の鉄製の急階段を降りるので足腰に難の有る方はお薦め出来ません。滝幅30m程、多段の滝なので落差が40m程でしょうか？見飽きない良い滝でした。

(Translated by Google) While Mishaka Pond is famous, Oshidori Kakushi Falls, located a short distance below, is also a recommended spot in Okutateshina. Typically, it's a popular spot during the fall foliage season, when people hike through Yokoya Valley and other areas. Many people also visit the area while soaking in Meiji Onsen. But the winter scenery really struck me. Even when Meiji Onsen is closed, you can see this view by walking down the snowy path. It's dangerous without snow boots. However, the sight of the unfrozen water flowing freely amidst the snow-covered landscape and the complete lack of people makes it seem like the mountains are asleep, but the river is awake. The contrast was beautiful. (Original) 御射鹿池が有名ですが そこから少し下ったところにある　おしどり隠しの滝も 奥蓼科でオススメのスポットです 基本的には紅葉のシーズンとかに　横谷渓谷などを歩いて訪れたりする人も多く 明治温泉での湯治がてら眺める人も多いスポットなのですが 冬の姿が自分にはすごく刺さりました 明治温泉もやっていない時期に　歩いて雪道を降りていくと見れる姿で 雪用の靴がないと危ないと思います ただ　一面の雪景色で人も全然いない中 水だけは凍らずに滔々と流れている姿は 山は眠っているが　川は起きているという感じがして すごくコントラストが美しかったです

This is really excellent place for autumn leaves 🍁 a lot of parking lots and just a 5 minutes walk to the best spot

Hike along a mountain stream interwoven by waterfalls At the entrance to the highland resort area which is Tateshina there is a beautiful gorge crossed by a creek, famous for its kaleidoscopic whirlwind of colors in Autumn and glacial blue icefalls in Winter. Yokoya Gorge is a great hiking spot with a pleasant (mostly flat) trail which coasts the river for6km. The unrivalled protagonists of this hike are the waterfalls, four limpid cascades which mark the path until its culmination at the impressive two-tiered Outaki fall. Once you reach Outaki fall, you can retrace your steps or proceed further to Oshidori-kakushi fall and the mirror-like water pool which is Mishaka pond. *This last section of the course is not a proper trail and can be slippery at times, so you should be especially careful if you choose to take it. The lively river which carves its way through the gorge appears an earthy shade of red because of the iron sediments lying beneath the mountain. As it happens, the nearby hot springs share the same characteristic and, if you have time, we recommend soaking in their healing reddish waters after the hike. In Autumn the gorge looks like an impressionist painting with the foliage turning myriad hues of red, orange, yellow and green. The best spot to admire this explosion of colors is the observatory spot of Yokoya Kannon, which you can reach by climbing a flight of stairs located near Outaki Fall, or alternatively by getting on a bus at the starting point of the trail. In Winter the waterfalls freeze and a glimmering layer of ice covers the rocky walls of the gorge. With the right shoes you can still hike most of the trail and the icefalls make for some great winter photography. A bit of trivia: one of the waterfalls is actually man-made. It is part of a greater waterway network implemented by the locals more than three centuries ago to bring water to the rice fields. Do you think you can spot it? Seasons: *The dates below are approximate and may slightly vary depending on the weather. Green season_ From Mid-May to early October Autumn colors_ From Mid-October to late October Winter season_ (Icefall season) From January to late February *In winter the trail might be frozen and slippery. In order to prevent accidents, we recommend using crampons or snow shoes. Hiking info: Course 1 - Yokoya-kyo Iriguchi (trailhead) 50min → Outaki fall 45min →Yokoya-kyo Iriguchi Time required: about 1h40min Level: 1 Course 2 - Yokoya-kyo Iriguchi (trailhead) 50min → Outaki fall 15min → Yokoya Kannon Observatory Spot 1h → Yokoya-kyo Iriguchi Time required: about 2h Level: 2 Course 3- Yokoya-kyo Iriguchi (trailhead) 50min → Outaki fall 25min → Oshidori-kakushi fall/ Mishaka Pond 25min → Outaki fall 45min → Yokoya-kyo Iriguchi Time required: about 2h40min Level: 2

(Translated by Google) When I visited on a weekday in early December, it was almost completely reserved. The leaves have fallen and it looks like winter, and when it's sunny, you can enjoy a refreshing view. There were benches and a pavilion, and there were shrines and walking paths in the surrounding area. The restroom was closed during the winter. (Original) 12月初旬の平日に訪れるとほぼ貸し切りでした。 落葉して冬の景色で、晴れているとすっきりした景色が楽しめました。 ベンチ、あずや屋があり、周辺は神社や散策路がありました。 お手洗いは冬季閉鎖となっていました。

(Translated by Google) To get to the observation deck, we recommend taking the short but steep, narrow path on the way there, and the long but gentle, wide path on the way back. You should go solely for the view. The toilets are clean, so be sure to leave some coins there. (Original) 展望台までの道として、行きに短時間だけど急な細道、帰りに長時間だけど緩やかな広い道を通るのがオススメ。 あくまで展望目当てで行くべし。 トイレは綺麗だから、小銭を置いてきてあげて。

(Translated by Google) October 26, 2020 I went with low expectations as the autumn leaves were delayed this year, but it was quite beautiful. If you walk a short distance from the parking lot towards the toilet, you will find a promenade, and there is an open area where you can see the waterfall from below and connect with the path to climb up, so be sure to walk for about 5 minutes from the parking lot to the open area. We recommend. The autumn leaves there are very beautiful. (Original) 令和6年10月26日 今年は紅葉が遅れているとのことであまひ期待せずに行きましたが結構綺麗でした。駐車場からトイレの方へ少し歩くと遊歩道になっていて、下から滝を見たり登ってくる道と繋がる開けた所があるので、ぜひ駐車場から5分くらい歩いて開けた所まで行くことをおすすめします。 そこの紅葉がとても綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) It is said that a former lieutenant general wished to build a sacred place for the protection of the nation here. You can hear the sound of the waterfall and good energy rising from Shibukawa (Yokoya Valley), and behind it is a quiet forest on a gentle slope. It is a wonderful place where it is easy to understand why he wished to build it. (Original) 元陸軍中将がこの地に護国の霊地を築くことを発願されたとか。 渋川（横谷渓谷）から滝の音と、いい氣が上がってきており、裏はなだらかな斜面に静かな林が有る。発願されたのも十分理解できるとてもいい場所です。

(Translated by Google) Visited on Saturday morning, October 21, 2023, to view autumn leaves. Although the autumn leaves are a little late this year, the colors have changed more than I expected and I was very satisfied. The area around the observation deck has already turned red and yellow. The view beyond the observation deck is spectacular, and you can see the town beyond the mountain. In terms of autumn leaves, it's about half and half. It takes less than 10 minutes on foot from the nearest parking lot, and the roads along the way aren't too undulating, so it's easy to access. Please note that due to the high altitude, it was much colder than the area below. It was originally a cold day, but the temperature near the observation deck was more than 5 degrees colder than 10 degrees. The wind is blowing, so it's a good idea to stay warmer than you think. (Original) 2023年10月21日の土曜午前中に紅葉狩りで訪問。今年は紅葉が遅れ気味ということですが、思ったより色づいておりとても満足できました。展望台付近はもう赤や黄色に十分色づいています。展望台の先の景色は大変見晴らしがよく、山の先に町を望むことができる絶景です。紅葉的には半々といったところでしょうか。 最寄りの駐車場から徒歩で10分かからず行けますし、道中の道もそれほど起伏もないので気軽にアクセスできるのも良いですね。 注意点としては、標高が高いため下界よりかなり寒かったです。この日は元々寒い日でしたが、展望台付近は更に5度以上寒く10度以下。風も吹いているので思ったよりも暖かくしていくのが良いでしょう。

This is a great place for nature! There are good hiking options and the views from the top of the ropewah are amazing. You can see much of the alps all around you. Don't expect much English as this is a very local place designed for Japanese travelers. There are good walking trails and maps that specify hiking time required. The cafe at the top is bad and doesn't offer much - make sure to get everything you need before arriving there .

Good ski resort for experienced skiers and snowboarders. There are different levels to choose.

The snow is very good and the resort is friendly with good food. It seems a good place for families, with things to do beside skiing as well. However, parking seems quite limited and not so well organised, so you may be disappointed if you arrive by car later than 9am or so.

Lovely view and the routes were various enough to keep me busy. It was pretty crowded around mid-day and there aren't any shuttles or buses that stop here.

Icy skiing condition and limited to single lift and run. This is the worst experience we had skiing in Japan.

The snow resort with well prepared equipment, including gondola, lift and good restaurant.

Great area for backcountry ski, there is a path from the bottom of the ropeway leading to the summit. A little long but more rewarding than taking the lift. Many other peaks are also available after reaching the mid level.

It’s a log house with a nice atmosphere in the mountain area. The price is a little bit higher than other restaurants, but they serve good meat dishes. There aren’t many restaurants in this neighborhood, so you need to make reservations, especially on weekends.

(Translated by Google) My father brought me here while I was staying at my parents' house. It was a good price, but it was delicious. In addition to the courses, there were also various individual items. I had steak and my kids had spare ribs. 200g was quite filling. The shop is also a mountain hut style log house and has a nice casual atmosphere. (Original) 実家滞在中に父に連れてきてもらいました。 良きお値段でしたが、おいしかったです。 コース以外に単品も色々ありました。 私はステーキ、子どもはスペアリブを食べました。 200gかなり食べ応えありました。 お店も山小屋風ログハウスで、カジュアルな雰囲気良かったです。

(Translated by Google) [Steak that spreads happiness] For me, North Point is the place to spend special time with loved ones. After my wife and I got married, we had a celebration here with each other's parents. Perhaps they were remembering that day. My parents, who were visiting from Kobe for the first time in 10 years, said, "I want to eat steak at North Point." So I came with them today. My parents are in their late 80s, but they devoured a 200g steak in one go. The meat is so tender. This time, we ordered a B-grade steak, so I don't think it was A5 rank. Still, it was tender and melted in your mouth. Excellent. I'm sure they can enjoy meat of this quality at this price only because they purchase an entire award-winning cow. I'm so grateful. The fatty parts are white, like a steak. Normally, this amount of fat would make some people feel sick. But both my elementary school-aged child and my father, who is in his late 80s, ate it all, including the fat. Every time they put a knife to the steak and every time they put it in their mouth with a fork, their loved ones smile. I'd love to come again. In fact, it was really delicious. Thank you for a wonderful time. (Original) 【幸せ広がるステーキ】 大切な人と、特別な時間を過ごせるのが、私にとっては、このノースポイントです。 カミさんと結婚して、お互いの両親と、お祝いの席をここで設けたことがありました。 その日のことを思い出してくれたんでしょうか。 １０年ぶりに神戸から来た私の両親は、「ノースポイントでステーキが食べたい」と。 そこで今日は一緒に来ました。 ８０前の両親ですが、２００gのステーキをペロリです。 やわらかいんですよ、お肉が。 今回注文させていただいたのは、ステーキのBだったのでA5ランクではないと思うんです。 それでもやわらかく、口の中で溶けていく。絶品。 賞をとるような牛を一頭買いしてくるからこそ、このレベルのお肉をこのお値段で味わえるんだろうなぁ。感謝しかありません。 脂身の部分は、白いステーキですね。 普通、この量の脂身なら、気持ち悪くなることもあると思います。 でも、うちの小学生の子どもも、それこそ８０前の父も脂身まで全て食べてしまいました。 ステーキにナイフを入れるたび、フォークで口に運ぶたび、大切な人たちが笑顔になっていく。 また来たいなぁ。 いや、本当に美味しかったです。 素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) The price was a bit high, but I thought it would be a treat for myself and my son, so I made a reservation and went. The meat was very good and both the steak and ham steak sandwich were delicious! ! I would like to stop by again when I come to Nagano. (Original) お値段は少々お高めですが、自分と息子へのご褒美にと思い予約し、行かせていただきました。 とても良いお肉でステーキもハムステーキサンドも非常に美味しくいただきました！！長野に来た際はまた寄らせていただきたいです。

(Translated by Google) Dinner with my wife Since I went without doing any research, the amount ended up being far from what I had originally planned, but it was still a good experience. The seat I sat in was in front of the grill, but was it in the drain? I noticed that there was a slight sewage smell. We ordered a course meal, and I got a steak and my wife got a hamburger! Roast beef was delicious! Carrot potage was delicious! Additional tongue stew! The tongue was hard! I guess the taste is normal... When the steak came out, I was surprised at how thin it was! A steak so thin you'll laugh! However, when I ate it, I realized why it was so thin. It's full of fat, so it's thick and thick! That's why it's this thin! After that, when it comes to customer service... I want a smile - your image may change if you have brighter and more pleasant customer service! I would like to come once a year on a special day. This time it was just under 20,000 for two people! (Original) 奥さんと2人でディナー 下調べせずに伺った為当初の予定金額とはかけ離れた金額になってしまったが、それはそれで良い経験。 座った席が焼き台の前だったが、排水溝？の臭いの様な少し下水の匂いがしたのが気になった。 コース料理を頼んで、私はステーキ、奥さんはハンバーグ！ ローストビーフ美味しかったー！ 人参のポタージュ美味しかった！ 追加のタンシチュー！タンが固かった！ 味は普通かな… ステーキは出てきた時は薄くてビックリ！プッて笑うくらいに薄いステーキ！ しかし、食べた時に薄い理由が分かりました。 脂がしっかり入ってるので、厚いともたれるんですね！ だからこの薄さなんだと！ 後、接客は…笑顔が欲しい〜もっと明るく気持ち良い接客だとイメージ変わるかもしれませんね！ 一年に一回特別な日に来たいと思います。 今回は2人で2万弱でした！

(Translated by Google) Last order was 2:30pm, so I got in at the last minute. I had the teriyaki pork ribs lunch set (about 2000 yen). Two large pork ribs, a little hard to eat, but very tasty and filling. Also, the bread in the lunch set was fluffy and went well with the pork. Sandwich sets, pork ribs, and hamburgers cost 1,300 to 2,000 yen, but the steak was a little out of my reach, so I definitely wanted to try it if I had the chance. (Original) 14時30分がラストオーダーで、ギリギリに入店。 テリヤキポークリブのランチセット（2000円ほど）をいただきました。 大きなポークリブが二つ、少し食べづらいですがとても美味しくボリュームも申し分ないです。 また、ランチセットのパンはふわふわでポークとの相性がよかったです。 サンドウィッチセットやポークリブ、ハンバーグは1300〜2000円ですが、ステーキは少し手が届かないお値段だったので、是非機会があればいただきたいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) Domestic Japanese black beef steak bowl lunch ¥4,300 The meat was tender and very tasty. The rice is soft. Lunch set for around 350 yen. Comes with salad and coffee. The most affordable menu at hamburger lunch I think it was around ¥2000. The staff at the store were nice. The view from the window Taking care of the terrace seats It's just a little bit of a shame... That was my impression. (Original) 国産黒毛和牛ステーキ丼ランチ　¥4,300 お肉は柔らかくてとても美味しかったです。 ご飯は柔らかめ。 +350円くらいでランチセットに。 サラダとコーヒーがつきました。 1番お手頃なメニューは ハンバーグランチで ¥2000くらいだった気がします。 お店の方の感じはよかったのですが 窓からの景色や テラス席のお手入れが 少しだけ惜しいな、、 という印象でした。

Food is amazing, so fresh, staff very friendly, if you ever nearby definitely worth to go

excellent unique italian food from local ingredients, beautiful restaurant! Memorable!

Great setup. Great interior design. Great wood burning fireplace. Great table service. And that's where the greatness of this restaurant ends. For the price, the food served ranks lower than a street side restaurant in some lowly city in an under developed country. 1700 Yen for an 8 inch pizza baked in a normal electric oven using ready made pizza base bought off the shelf! The cheese was not fresh mozzarella.... But the factory packed cheap cheese that you can buy at your local departmental store. Even a 500 Yen brick oven pizza in Tokyo tastes way better. The risotto was a disgrace.... Hardly any cheese.. And just an overwhelming stench of the disproportionately used sea food, which didn't seem fresh. And that mess costs 2000 Yen! The tiramisu was anything but a tiramisu... The Japanese twist on the flavour completely destroyed what should have been the perfect ending. The coffee.. Just about alright.... Overall, this restaurant is a sham.... And an insult to Italian cuisine.... Besides being a complete rip off.

An authentic Italian restaurant showcasing recipes with vegetables used from the home garden. The dishes cooked with fresh highlands vegetables and herbs from their home garden are popular amongst tourists. The pasta made with seasonal vegetables is also a very popular menu item.

Free Wi-fi.

(Translated by Google) Course meal, steak. Maybe it's too much for one person? It came out in about 5 minutes. I managed to get in just in time, right after opening on a weekday. The steak was tender and the bread was fluffy! The overall quality was high and everything was delicious. I think I preferred the fish dish I had last time, but everything was still excellent. The ingredients were delicious, and the seasoning was also delicious. I'd definitely go again. (Original) コース、ステーキ 1人では無理かも？　5分くらいで出てくる　平日開店直後でギリギリ入れた ステーキ柔らかい　パンもフワフワ！全体的にクオリティ高くて全部美味しい　でも前回食べた魚料理の方が好みだったかも　とはいえど全部絶品。素材の味も美味しいし、味付けも美味しい 絶対にまた行きたい

(Translated by Google) A long-standing, honest restaurant in Tateshina. Both the pasta and pizza are delicious and convey the kindness of the maker, allowing you to leisurely savor dishes made with local vegetables. A rare find at a resort where you can spend time in peace. I hope they continue for a long time. (Original) 蓼科に長く続く誠実なレストラン。パスタ、ピッツアともに味わい深く作り手のやさしさが伝わり、ゆったりのんびり地の野菜を使ったを堪能できる。 安心して時間を過ごせるリゾートならではの貴重な存在。永く続けて欲しい。

very delicious

(Translated by Google) Soba noodles at this restaurant Hand-made 100% soba noodles made from 100% buckwheat flour from the foothills of Mt. Yatsugatake It was difficult to deal with customers in a crowded place, but the staff were courteous and attentive. Tastes may differ from person to person, but I like the taste Both the 100% and 28% soba noodles were of course delicious. The noodle soup was thick with lots of bonito flakes, and was delicious even when drunk with soba-yu. (Original) こちらのお店の蕎麦 八ヶ岳山麓産蕎麦粉100%の手打ち十割蕎麦 混み合う中のお客さん相手は大変ですが、スタッフさんは丁寧に接客していらっしゃいました。 味覚は人それぞれ違うかもしれませんが私は好きな味 十割も二八も蕎麦は、勿論おいしく頂きました。 めんつゆも鰹節沢山でしっかりしていて、蕎麦湯で飲んでも美味しいつゆでした。

(Translated by Google) We stopped into this soba restaurant while driving through Tateshina. The restaurant is spacious and has a calming atmosphere, and the soba has a rich flavor and is smooth to the touch. The tempura platter includes seasonal mountain vegetables, which is great. This is the perfect place for lunch during your trip. (Original) 蓼科をドライブ中に立ち寄ったお蕎麦屋さん。 店内が広くて落ち着いた雰囲気で、蕎麦の風味と喉ごしもしっかり。 天ぷら盛り合わせには季節の山菜が入ってて嬉しい。 旅の途中のランチにちょうどいい一軒。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a Saturday evening (around 6:30pm). After soaking in the hot springs on my way back from hiking in the North Yatsugatake Mountains, I was hungry, so I decided to stop by for some soba noodles. It's not often that a soba restaurant is open at night, so this is a relief. I managed to pit in the last available parking space just in time. When I entered the restaurant, there were two groups waiting, but I was able to sit and wait in the waiting area at the entrance of the restaurant, so it wasn't a problem, but perhaps because it was in the evening, the turnover rate seemed slow considering the number of customers. I ordered chilled soba noodles with grated daikon radish, and they apparently use 28% buckwheat flour for chilled soba noodles. The 28% buckwheat flour was really delicious, so next time I'd like to try the 100% buckwheat flour with tempura. The deep-fried rice cakes in a pouch on top of the grated daikon radish soba were also really delicious! The staff were generally very nice! (Original) 土曜夕方の来店(18:30ごろ)です。 北八ヶ岳登山帰りに温泉浸かってからやっぱりお腹が空いたのでせっかくなので蕎麦食べようと立ち寄りました。 なかなか蕎麦屋さんで夜営業してるところあまりないので助かります。 駐車場はギリギリ最後の1台の空車スペースにピットイン出来ました。 お店に入ると2組待ちで、店内の入り口待合スペースで座って待てたので苦ではなかったですが、夕方の時間帯だからかお客さんの数の割に回転率は悪そうでした。 冷やしおろし蕎麦を注文したのですが、冷やしおろし蕎麦などは二八蕎麦を使用とのこと。 二八蕎麦でもめちゃくちゃ美味しかったので次回は天ざるにして十割蕎麦も食べてみたいです。 おろし蕎麦に乗ってる巾着の餅お揚げもめっちゃ美味しかった！ スタッフの方は総じて感じが良かったです！

(Translated by Google) I ordered the 100% buckwheat soba noodles. The soba had a deep flavor and was very delicious. The condiments were also great, and the real wasabi was a perfect match. 👍 The maitake mushroom tempura was also delicious, fried in a way that I can't get at home. (Original) 十割そばを頼みました。そばの味わい深くとても美味しかったです。薬味も良く、本わさびもベストマッチ👍 舞茸天ぷらも、家庭では食べれない揚げ方でとても美味しかった。

(Translated by Google) I have it for lunch when I visit the farmer's market across the street. I've had it a few times already, and I always order the 100% buckwheat soba. In the fall, they have a maitake mushroom tempura set, which has a wonderful maitake mushroom aroma and goes perfectly with the soba! They're open until 7:30 PM, so it's more convenient than other places that close earlier. 👍 (Original) お向かいの農産物直売所に来た時、お昼で頂きます もう数回ほど頂きましたが、いつも私は十割そば 秋だと舞茸天ぷらのセットがあってそれが、とても舞茸の香りがして蕎麦にピッタリ❣️ 夜19：30まで営業してるから、他の早く閉店しちゃうお店より使い勝手が良いですし👍

(Translated by Google) It's a popular restaurant so you may have to wait. The seasonal maitake mushroom tempura was delicious. The women's restroom is equipped with handrails and a baby bed by the sink, which is a nice touch of hospitality. (Original) 人気店で待つ事があります。季節の舞茸天ぷらは大変美味しく頂きました。 女性のトイレは手すりや手洗いの所はベビーベッドも完備しており、さり気ないおもてなしです。

There’s a sake museum before the soba noodle restaurant. Soba noodle with Japanese yam was good while the portion is not much. Good for light lunch!

(Translated by Google) Sake bottles from Nagano Prefecture were displayed almost to the ceiling, making it very beautiful. The explanations were easy to understand and I was able to sample the drinks, so I didn't have to worry about buying souvenirs. The food was delicious and the dashi soup in the mini pot was so elegant that I could drink it all. Juwari Soba can be eaten freshly made. (Original) 長野県内の酒瓶が天井近くまで飾られていてとても綺麗だった。説明も分かりやすく試飲もできたのでお土産買うのも悩まなかった。食事は美味しくミニお鍋のお出汁も上品で全部飲めてしまった。十割そばは出来たてを食べられる。

(Translated by Google) The soba was delicious. I don't have any photos, but I was impressed by the room where Japanese sake was on display and sold in the back. Next time I'll have some tempura. (Original) 蕎麦美味しかった 写真はないけど 日本酒も奥で販売されていて展示されてるお部屋に感動しました 次は天ぷら系いただきます

(Translated by Google) 😛It was almost full at lunch time on Sunday, but I was lucky...I was shown to my seat right away as it seemed like it had just turned around.🤪Everything was delicious!❣️Considering the cost performance, the price was a little more modest. If that's the case, I'd give it a 5 overall rating...The ``simmered butterbur'' and ``simmered Nozawana shigureni'' (I think they're sold as souvenirs?) with the roe make a nice accent between meals. The ``Mizore Fried Soba Gaki'' was perfect, as was the taste of the ingredients and the seasoning sauce...I'm sure they did a lot of research! ️👏The soba was delicious, 🦆The duck soup and walnut soup were delicious with a twist.👍I like it❣️Japanese soba restaurants are always a hit or miss as the cost performance varies considerably depending on the store. It’s scary😱…but I don’t recommend this place…LOL✌️ (Original) 😛日曜日のお昼時、ほぼ満席でしたが運が良かったです…一回転した直後だった様ですぐに席に案内されましたわぁ🤪全部旨かったですねー❣️コスパを考えると、もう少しお値段控えめだったら評価はオール５にしたい所です…子付けの「ふきの煮物」と「野沢菜のしぐれ煮」(お土産品で売っている物だと思います⁈)が、食間の良いアクセントになった…「みぞれ揚げそばがき」も、素材の味・味付けのつゆも申し分無しだったわ…ちゃんと研究してるわぁ‼️👏そばも旨いし、🦆鴨汁もくるみ汁も一工夫されていて旨かったー👍いいね❣️日本そば屋さんは、コスパの高低差がお店によってかなりの差が出るからいつも当たりはずれが怖い😱…でも、ココはお勧めズラ…笑笑✌️

(Translated by Google) A large, visible signboard makes it easy for cars to enter. When you enter from the entrance from the sake museum, the soba restaurant is on the right. From the parking lot, there is a small entrance to the soba restaurant with a noren curtain. I made the Yurakuan set. The chewy soba noodles go down your throat. The staff at the shop said that it was 100 percent soba. The soup is refreshing. I wonder if there are less green onions and seasonings. Today's dish was soba yokan. It was soft and delicious with a slight soba flavor melting in the mouth on the agar. The tempura was freshly fried and delicious. I was asked to eat the tempura with salt, so I added some salt myself. The store staff was also cheerful and made me feel comfortable. Of course, soba-yu is also delicious. The inside of the store is also beautiful. There were quite a few people coming in on Friday, so it looks like it will be crowded on holidays. I was also curious about Nagaimo Soba🤣 There are no large portions. Additional soba is 700 yen. If you want to eat a lot, add more. (Original) 大きく目につく看板で、車は入りやすい。 酒ミュージアムからの入り口から入ると、右側が蕎麦処です。 駐車場からは小さいけれど暖簾がかかって蕎麦処の入り口があります。 遊楽庵セットにしました。 お蕎麦シコシコで喉越しよし。十割そばですからとお店の人が言ってました。 お汁はさっぱり目です。 ネギと薬味は少ないかな。 本日の一品は、蕎麦羊羹でした。 寒天にほんのり蕎麦風味口溶けの柔らかく、美味しかった。 天ぷら揚げたてで美味しかったです。 天ぷらはお塩で召し上がってくださいとのことで、自分で塩を取ってつけました。 店員さんも明るい対応で気持ちよかったです。 もちろん蕎麦湯も美味しい。 お店の中もキレイです。 金曜日でかなり人が入ってきたので、休日は混みそうです。 長芋蕎麦も気になっちゃいました🤣 大盛りはありません。 追加蕎麦700円です。たくさん食べたい人は追加かな。

(Translated by Google) Even though it was 100% soba, it was beautiful white and delicious. The first time I had soba inari, it was delicious and I loved it. Touji soba will warm your body. I had a second helping. (Original) 十割そばなのに綺麗な白色で美味しかったです。初めて食べた蕎麦いなりが美味しくて、大好きな味でした。とうじ蕎麦は身体が暖まります。おかわりしました。

(Translated by Google) There is a tourist information center, a museum, a place to buy alcohol, a soba restaurant, clean toilets, and many other things you can use. (Original) 観光案内所や、ミュージアム、お酒などが買える売り場、 お蕎麦屋さん、綺麗なトイレもあって色々と利用できます

A Japanese rock garden created by the hand of Nature This little gem is located on the Northern side of the quasi-national park of Yatsugatake at 2237m above sea level, easily accessible via the Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway with a short 7min ride. Tsuboniwa is a piece of art created by the hand of Nature. The park, which originated from a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, looks like a traditional Japanese garden (thus the name “tsuboniwa”) with windswept short pines and igneous rocks generated by hardened lava as its main decorative elements. The panorama from the observation deck right next to the ropeway station is spectacular. You have an unobstructed view of the Yatsugatake Mountains, the three ranges of the Alps, Mt. Ontake and Kirigamine. There is a pleasant hiking course through the park suitable for any age and level that you can complete in about 40min. Tsuboniwa, though, is also a great starting line for more challenging treks. From here you can climb up Mt. Shimagare-yama or Mt. Yoko-dake quite easily. In winter, the mountain gets covered by a thick layer of pure white snow. You can ski and snowboard at the Pilatus Tateshina Snow Resort or enjoy a hike into the mountain with snow shoes. The biggest attractions at this time of the year are the “snow monsters”, tall snow-covered trees, and riming, frozen water droplets hanging from the tree branches. Seasons: *The dates below are approximate and may slightly vary depending on the weather. Green Season_ From mid-April to late September Autumn season_ From late September to early October Winter season_ From mid-December to late March Flowers: Lingonberry _ June to July Fringed Galax_ June to July Japanese Rhododendron_ July

Even if it goes in the summer, flowers are blooming in places rocky rocks, It does not become a flower garden. It will be winter after all. A small monster (a tree covered with snow) stands in places of huge silver world, At the foot is a fantastic pattern of shukabra that the wind created. If you look up, contrast between white and black of forests of Mt. Yokodake and Mt. Shimagare. You can easily enjoy the unique scenery in winter without climbing from the ropeway station. If the weather is nice, you can maneuver the snowy field, but when the weather gets worse, a strong wind blows through and it becomes a frigid hell. It is necessary to take adequate measures against cold in winter.

Thanks to the ropeway, you can come here the heaven for instance

(Translated by Google) Tsubo-niwa Nature Garden, located in Kitayama, Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, is a garden of alpine plants formed on a lava plateau, located just a short distance from the summit station of the Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway (2,237 meters above sea level). This terrain, created by the eruption of Mt. Yokodake, is home to alpine plants such as Japanese stone pine, cowberry, and black crowberry, and offers a variety of seasonal views. It is said that the frost-covered trees, especially in winter, take on a fantastical appearance when illuminated by the sunlight. Parking space: Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway parking lot (accommodates approximately 600 cars). Fees: Admission to Tsubo-niwa Nature Garden is free, and the ropeway costs 2,600 yen round trip for adults (junior high school students and above) and 1,300 yen round trip for children (elementary school students). One-way tickets cost 1,400 yen for adults and 700 yen for children. Toilets: Toilets are available at the ropeway base station and summit station. Access from the parking lot: You can walk from the parking lot to the ropeway base station. After taking the ropeway and getting off at the summit station, it's a few minutes' walk to Tsuboniwa Nature Park. Time required: There is a promenade in Tsuboniwa Nature Park that takes about 40 minutes to go around. There are other routes in addition to the circular route, so depending on where you go, it may take even longer. Ease of walking: There is a promenade and it is relatively flat, so even beginners can walk around safely, but the lava area has a unique rugged terrain, so you need to be careful where you step. Attractions: There are many spots where you can experience the beauty of nature up close, such as colonies of alpine plants and frost-covered trees in winter. Impressions: Located at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, it is cool even in summer and is ideal as a summer resort. It is also easily accessible by ropeway, so it is recommended for families and beginners. Points of note: Because of the high altitude, the weather changes drastically and the temperature is low. Don't forget to prepare cold weather measures and rain gear. Although the walking trails are well maintained, the footing is generally poor, so you should take care to wear non-slip shoes and other appropriate footwear. (Original) 長野県茅野市北山に位置する「坪庭自然園」は、北八ヶ岳ロープウェイの山頂駅（標高2,237㍍）を降りてすぐの場所に広がる、溶岩台地に形成された高山植物の庭園。 横岳の噴火によって生まれたこの地形には、ハイマツやコケモモ、ガンコウランなどの高山植物が群生し、四季折々の景色を楽しめる。 特に冬季には、樹氷が太陽の光に照らされて幻想的な姿になり素晴らしいとのこと。 駐車スペース：北八ヶ岳ロープウェイの駐車場（約600台収容）。 料金：坪庭自然園の入園料は無料、ロープウェイは大人（中学生以上）往復2,600円、小人（小学生）往復1,300円。片道は大人1,400円、小人700円。 トイレの有無：ロープウェイ山麓駅および山頂駅にトイレが設置。 駐車場からのアクセス：駐車場からロープウェイ山麓駅までは徒歩でアクセス可能。ロープウェイに乗車し、山頂駅で下車後、坪庭自然園までは徒歩数分。 所要時間：坪庭自然園内には約40分で一周できる遊歩道が整備。一周ルート以外にもルートが分かれており、行く場所によってはさらに時間がかかる。 歩きやすさ：遊歩道が整備されており、比較的平坦なため、初心者でも安心して散策できますが、溶岩地帯は特有のゴツゴツとした地形のため、足元には注意が必要。 見どころ：高山植物の群生地や、冬季の樹氷など、自然の美しさを間近に感じられるスポット多数。 感想：標高2,000㍍を超える場所に位置するため、夏でも涼しく、避暑地としても最適。また、ロープウェイで手軽にアクセスできるため、家族連れや初心者にもおすすめ。 留意点：標高が高いため、天候の変化が激しく気温も低め。防寒対策や雨具の準備を忘れずに。また、遊歩道は整備されているが、基本的には足場が悪いので滑りにくい靴を履くなど、足元の装備にも注意が必要。

(Translated by Google) We visited in mid-September. It was cloudy and about 15°C. Just a short distance from the Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway, this hiking trail offers a mystical landscape of volcanic rocks and alpine plants. The summit is 2,237m above sea level, and a circular trail takes about 30 minutes, making it easy for even first-time visitors to fully enjoy the natural scenery. ◾️Attractions ・Alpine plants like lingonberries and rhododendrons blooming among the rocks are truly Ghibli-esque. ・On clear days, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Yatsugatake mountain range and the Southern Alps. ・Since it's located right off the ropeway, you don't need any hiking gear to access it. ◾️Best for families (elementary school students) ・The circular trail features boardwalks and cobblestones, creating a sense of adventure. ・It's just the right amount of exercise for elementary school students (you can complete the hike in under an hour). ・Sneakers are essential due to the many rocky areas. Sandals and strollers are not recommended. ・The high altitude keeps it cool, even in midsummer. A light jacket is a good idea. ◾️ Important Notes - Depending on the weather, fog can cause poor visibility. - UV protection is essential on sunny days. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen. - The summit cafe may get crowded during peak seasons. It's also a bit pricey, so plan your meal plans in advance to ensure a smooth ride. This was a wonderful hiking spot where you can experience the power of nature with your children. It gives you a light mountain climbing experience, which will inspire your children's adventurous spirit and make them want to climb even higher next time. This is a highly recommended spot for family trips. (Original) 9月中旬に観光。曇りで15℃くらい、北八ヶ岳ロープウェイを登ってすぐの場所に広がる、火山岩と高山植物が織りなす不思議な景観の散策コースです。 標高2237mの山頂で、30分ほどで一周できる周回路が整備されており、初めて訪れる人でも気軽に自然を満喫できます。 ◾️魅力 ・岩場の間に咲くコケモモやシャクナゲなどの高山植物はまさにジブリの世界 ・天気が良ければ、八ヶ岳連峰や南アルプスの大パノラマが望める ・ロープウェイから降りてすぐなので、登山装備がなくてもアクセスできる ◾️子連れポイント（小学生向け） ・一周コースは木道や石畳で整備されており、冒険気分を味わえる ・小学生ならちょうど良い運動量（1時間以内で回れる） ・岩場が多いのでスニーカー必須。サンダルやベビーカーは不向き ・標高が高く真夏でも涼しい。軽い上着があると安心 ◾️注意点 ・天候によっては霧がかかり視界が悪い場合、になることもあり。 ・日差しが強い日は紫外線対策必須。帽子・日焼け止めを忘れずに ・繁忙期は、山頂のカフェは混雑しやすいかも？あと割高なので、下山後の食事プランを事前に考えておくとスムーズ 大自然の迫力を子どもと一緒に味わえる素晴らしい散策スポットでした。軽い登山気分を味わえるので「次はもっと上まで登りたい！」と子どもの挑戦心も刺激されます。家族旅行の思い出に強くおすすめできる場所です。

(Translated by Google) When you get off the Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway (Pilatus Ropeway) at the summit station, a lava plateau spreads out before your eyes. There's a well-maintained walking trail that takes about 30 minutes to complete, and the scenery resembles Onioshidashi Park at the foot of Mount Asama. Because it's located at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, temperatures are low even in midsummer, so long sleeves and other cold weather gear are essential. Around Golden Week in May, there's still snow and temperatures drop to single digits, so mid-winter Tokyo attire isn't too bad. When I visit, I usually take a one-way ticket to the summit and then walk back down. You can enjoy a leisurely view of the Yatsugatake mountain range and other mountains as you descend. However, be careful as there can be a lot of snow in May (crampons are recommended). In the summer, you can trek without any worries. (Original) 北八ヶ岳ロープウェイ(ピラタスロープウェイ)に乗って山頂駅を降りると眼前に広がる溶岩台地になります。一周約30分の整備された遊歩道があり、その情景は浅間山麓にある鬼押出し園に似ています。標高2000m以上のところにありますので、真夏でも気温が低く長袖などの防寒対策は必須です。GWの5月あたりはまだ残雪もあり気温も1桁になりますので、東京の真冬の装いでも悪くはないでしょう。自分が訪れる際は、片道の切符で山頂まで向かい、帰りは徒歩で下山するルートを選択しています。山を下りながら八ヶ岳連峰をはじめとする山々をゆっくり見ることができます。ただ5月は残雪が多い年もあり注意が必要です(アイゼンがあると安心)。夏場は何の心配もなくトレッキングできます。

(Translated by Google) There was no scenery and strong winds due to gas gas. And the next day, it can't be helped that the weather is pecan and above 2000m. If the weather is good, it will definitely be a great view. Next time I would like to go to Mt. Yokokita. ■↓If you found this review helpful, please click "helpful". Thank you very much m(_ _)m (Original) ガスガスで景観はなし強風でした。そして翌日はピーカンと2000m以上の天気は仕方ないですね。 天気が良ければ間違いなく最高の景色でしょう。 次回は横北岳に行きたいと思いました。 ■↓この口コミが役立ったと思ったら「役に立った」を押してください。よろしくお願いしますm(_ _)m

It was interesting enough for my family, including a 4 year old daughter. The admission price is high at around 1300 yen per adult, as how much time we spent there was limited. There is enough there to fill up an hour of entertainment depending on the interests of your family. Getting there is a bit tough as it is in the mountains with all of the winding roads. If you are going to the very close by ski resort and have time, I would recommend stopping here with young kids (or those interested in sea life).

It is like visiting an abandoned building in Chernobyl. Old, poorly maintained and the fish tanks are so tiny that you wonder how long can the fish survive there. No wonder why the giant pirarucu is not there anymore.

(Translated by Google) The aquarium had a mysterious atmosphere. There was a Showa-era feel to it, but the interior and details were all beautiful, and I had a comfortable time there. It was busier than I expected, and although it is small, it took longer than expected to see everything. As it only exhibits freshwater fish, there were many larger fish from Africa and other places. The entire aquarium had a fancy atmosphere, which left a strong impression on me. It is a pet-friendly aquarium, and you can bring your dog inside. (Original) 不思議な空間の水族館でした。どこからともなく漂う昭和感…ですが、内装や細部はどこも綺麗で、快適に過ごせました。 想像したよりも賑わっており、小規模ではありますが、全て回るのに想定よりも時間がかかりました。 淡水魚のみの展示のため、アフリカなどの大きめの魚が多かったです。 館内全体がファンシーな雰囲気で、強く印象に残りました。 館内へ犬を連れて入れるペットフレンドリーな水族館です。

(Translated by Google) On August 7, 2025, I visited this aquarium while sightseeing around the Yatsugatake area on a weekday before the Obon holiday. Since it was a weekday, there were few cars and people around, and from a visitor's perspective, it was wonderful to see an empty aquarium. This aquarium is home to many rare freshwater fish, which was very interesting. The interior has a very handmade feel, which adds to the wonderful atmosphere. The very long tank filled with koi fish was great to feed and to see. While it may have been empty, we probably only spent about 1-1.5 hours looking around. The souvenir shop was small, and we didn't find anything we particularly wanted, but if you're traveling with small children, you'll probably find a lot of things you'll want. Looking at the beautiful fish is soothing. There are also special event times, so it's a good idea to plan your visit accordingly. I love these kinds of homey aquariums and highly recommend them. (Original) 2025/8/7 お盆長期連休前の平日に八ヶ岳周辺観光の際に、この水族館も楽しみに来ました。平日なので車も人もまばらで、お客さん目線では空いてる水族館は最高でした。ここには珍しい淡水魚が多く飼育されている水族館でとっても面白かったです。館内は手作り感がとてもあり、そこがまたとてもいい雰囲気を出してますね。コイが泳いでいるとても長い水槽は餌やりもできて、また見る分にもとても良かったです。空いていたセイもあるかもしれませんが、私たちはじっくりみても1〜1.5時間くらいの滞在だったと思います。お土産屋さんはこじんまりとして、特に欲しい物はありませんでしたが、小さなお子様とご一緒なら、色々欲しいものも出てくると思います。綺麗な魚達を見ると心が安らぎますね。そう、水族館ならではのイベントタイムなどもありますので、それも計画に入れながら観覧するといいと思います。私はこのようなアットホームな水族館が大好きなので、オススメしたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I think it would be a great aquarium if they put a little more thought into the exhibits. That's great! Here's a summary of the Tateshina Amusement Aquarium, located in the same area as Chino Station and the Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway. ⸻ 🐟 Tateshina Amusement Aquarium • Location: 4035-2409 Kitayama Tateshina, Chino City, Nagano Prefecture (along the Venus Line) • Altitude: 1,750m, the highest aquarium in Japan • Features: • Focused on freshwater fish (approx. 70 tanks, approximately 200 species) • Exhibits freshwater fish from around the world, tropical fish, and ancient fish (such as arapaima and arowana) • As befits a mountainous area, the aquarium offers a wide selection of freshwater and river fish • Small but popular with fish lovers, its "specialty" nature makes it a popular attraction • Opening Hours: 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM (varies seasonally) • Admission Fee: ¥1,500 for adults / ¥800 for elementary school students ⸻ 🚍 Access (Public Transportation) 1. Nagoya → Chino Station (JR Chuo Main Line) • Limited Express "Shinano" Nagoya → Shiojiri (approx. 130 minutes) • Shiojiri → Chino (approx. 40 minutes by local train or approx. 30 minutes by Azusa Limited Express) 2. Chino Station → Tateshina Amusement Aquarium • Approximately 50 minutes by Alpico Kotsu bus bound for "Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway" or "Shirakaba Lake" • Within walking distance from the nearest bus stops, "Tateshina Lake" or "Higashi-Shirakaba Lake" (however, buses are infrequent, so car is recommended) 👉 In reality, access by public transportation alone is difficult, so many tourists rent a car from Chino Station. ⸻ 🌟 Combine with other sightseeing in the area • Kita-Yatsugatake Ropeway (can be visited in the same area) • Lake Shirakaba (lakeside walks and sightseeing boat rides) • Lake Tateshina (small lake with a cafe) • Yokoya Gorge (waterfall and valley walks) ⸻ 👉 If you'd like, we can create a "One-Day Plan from Nagoya, using only public transportation, including the aquarium and ropeway" with a specific timetable. Would you like to try it? (Original) もう少し展示を工夫すれば 良い水族館になると思います。 いいですね！茅野駅や北八ヶ岳ロープウェイと同じエリアにある「蓼科アミューズメント水族館」についてまとめます。 ⸻ 🐟 蓼科アミューズメント水族館 • 所在地：長野県茅野市北山蓼科4035-2409（ビーナスライン沿い） • 標高：1,750m、日本一高い場所にある水族館 • 特徴： • 淡水魚中心（水槽数は約70基、飼育魚種約200種） • 世界の淡水魚、熱帯魚、古代魚（ピラルク、アロワナなど）を展示 • 山岳地帯らしく、清流魚や川魚展示が充実 • 小規模だが“マニアック”で魚好きには好評 • 開館時間：9:30～17:30（季節により変動） • 入館料：大人1,500円／小学生800円 ⸻ 🚍 アクセス（公共交通） 1. 名古屋 → 茅野駅（JR中央本線） • 特急「しなの」名古屋 → 塩尻（約130分） • 塩尻 → 茅野（普通 約40分 or 特急あずさ 約30分） 2. 茅野駅 → 蓼科アミューズメント水族館 • アルピコ交通バス「北八ヶ岳ロープウェイ」行き、または「白樺湖」方面行きで約50分 • 最寄りバス停「蓼科湖」または「東白樺湖」から徒歩圏（ただし本数少なく、車推奨） 👉 実際には 公共交通だけだとアクセスしづらいため、茅野駅からレンタカー利用の観光客が多いです。 ⸻ 🌟 周辺観光と組み合わせ • 北八ヶ岳ロープウェイ（同じエリアでセット訪問可能） • 白樺湖（湖畔散策や遊覧船） • 蓼科湖（小さい湖だがカフェあり） • 横谷峡（滝と渓谷散策） ⸻ 👉 ご希望であれば、 「名古屋発・公共交通のみで、水族館＋ロープウェイを回る日帰りプラン」 を具体的な時刻表付きで作成できますが、試してみますか？

(Translated by Google) ☆August 10, 2025☆ It was raining, so we decided to go from Lake Suwa, but it was quite far. When you go, I recommend using the discount coupons on their website. I tried crayfish fishing, but almost no one caught anything... There were also other experiences, like touching newts and insects. If you're thinking of going as an aquarium, it might be a little disappointing... (Original) ☆2025年8月10日☆ 雨が降っていたので諏訪湖から行ってみましたが とても遠いです。 行くときはホームページの割引券を 使うといいと思います。 ザリガニ釣りをやりましたが、釣れてる人は ほぼいなかったです… 他にもイモリタッチや昆虫タッチなど 体験出来るものがありました。 水族館と思って行くと少し物足りないかもです…

(Translated by Google) The sign is true to its name, this aquarium is focused on entertainment. We decided to give up on our planned hike due to the rain and decided to come here instead. You can enjoy freshwater fish from not only Japan but all over the world. (Original) 看板に偽りなし、アミューズメント重視の淡水魚の水族館。雨で予定していたハイキングをあきらめ、こちらにおじゃましました。日本だけでなく、世界の淡水魚を楽しめます。

Very good for kids and beginners. You will get discount on lifting pass and ski rentals if you are staying at their hotel. Snowboarding is permitted but most is skiing.

Went there during the "off" season, but it looks to have lots of recreational areas. I can imagine it's pretty busy during the winter!! Parking available..only access is by vehicle.

(Translated by Google) There was no space in the parking lot, so I stayed the night before at Tateshina Tokyu Hotel, so I went back there, parked there, and walked. You can ski the beginner's course on the snow escalator, so it might be good for your ski debut, but there aren't many courses, so it's a shame that you won't be able to pay for a one-day pass if it's crowded... (Original) 駐車場に空きがなく、蓼科東急ホテルに前泊したので、そちらに戻って駐車し歩きで行きました。スノーエスカレーターで初心者コース滑れるのでスキーデビューには良いかもですが、コース自体は多くないので混んでると1日券とかはペイしないのは残念かな…

(Translated by Google) The beginner's course from the long snow escalator is easy to watch even from the foot of the mountain, and the ski lessons are carefully taught by experienced instructors, allowing preschoolers to quickly improve their skills in just two days and one night. I fell in love with skiing. It's located in a location where the wind doesn't get too strong, and has great ski lessons with friendly teachers, making it a great ski resort for families with children. (Original) 長いスノーエスカレーターからの初心者コースは麓からでも見守りやすく、スキー教室はベテラン先生たちがポイントを抑えた丁寧な指導を施してくださり、未就学児が1泊2日であっという間に上達し、スキーが大好きになりました。風が強くなりにくいという立地で、先生方が親身な素晴らしいスキー教室があり、子ども連れには本当にありがたいスキー場です

(Translated by Google) 1 lift. Recommended for beginners and families. Not enough for people who can ski (Original) リフト1本。初心者、ファミリーにはおすすめ。 滑れる人には物足りない

(Translated by Google) A small ski resort suitable for families. Easily available from the nearby Tokyu Resort. Snow escalators are friendly for children who are afraid of lifts as well as beginners, and the school's instruction for both children and adults is well thought out. The rental of ski equipment within the facility and the hospitality at the restaurant are also very nice, making for a pleasant stay. There is an advanced course, but due to the lack of snow, it is difficult to open, so it is not suitable for people who want to ski hard. The lunch and light meals at Restaurant Beans are also very delicious. (Original) ファミリー向きの小さなスキー場。近隣の東急リゾートから手軽に利用できる。スノーエスカレーターはリフトが怖い子供から初心者に優しく、スクールでの子供から大人までの指導も良く配慮されている。施設内のスキー用具のレンタルや、レストランの接遇もとても素晴らしく、気持ちよく過ごすことが出来る。 上級者コースもあるが雪不足でなかなかオープンせず、がっつり滑りたい人には向いていない。レストランビーンズのランチ、軽食もとても美味しい。

(Translated by Google) There aren't many courses, and I couldn't ski the advanced courses when I went, so I only skied the short course below for super beginners and the intermediate course beyond the lift. Since we were staying overnight and it was the kids' snowboarding debut, we didn't buy a lift ticket on the first day and just walked a little bit up and down. Repeat. I wonder if there are a lot of debutantes around me, as there are a lot of young children and most of them are accompanied by their parents, so I wonder if it's okay if they really make a debut!? The course you can ski on the snow escalator is too short, but when you take the lift to the top, it's a shame that there are only intermediate and advanced courses 💦 It was snowing, and even though the second day was a blizzard on the first day, it was an icy slope, so even intermediate skiers had to be careful. The man in charge of the snow escalator is kind and always greets you. I bought a lift ticket at a discount when I stayed at Tokyu Resort, but I still think it's expensive. The attached restaurant is actually a rest area rather than a restaurant. They did sell cup ramen, a few types of rice balls, and bento boxes. I can't wait for the food. (Original) コースは少なく、行ったときは上級コースも滑れなかったので、下の超初心者用の短いコースとリフトの先の中級コースのみ。 泊まりで子供達のスノボデビューだったので、初日はリフト券買わず、少し歩いて登っては下りて。を、繰り返し。 周りもデビューが多いのか、ちびっこ多数で、親が付き添うって人ばかりで、本当にデビューならいいのかな⁉️ スノーエスカレーターで滑れるコースは短すぎるけど、リフト乗って上に行くと中級か上級コースしかないのが、残念でした💦 雪も降っていたし、２日目は初日吹雪の後なのにアイスバーンで中級でも、ガリガリいって、気をつけて滑るようです。 スノーエスカレーターの係員のおじさんは優しくて、よく声をかけてくれます。 東急リゾート宿泊で割引でリフト券買ったけど、それでも高いかなって思います。 併設のレストランは、なんとレストランではなく休憩所。 カップラーメンや、ほんの数種類のおにぎり、弁当は売っていましたが。 食事は期待出来ません。

Amazing place! Heavenly!

Awesome trip

(Translated by Google) This was my first serious climb! The rocky area just before the summit of Nishitengu-dake and the area from Nishitengu-dake to Higashitengu-dake are very scary for beginners, so I don't think you should believe the phrase "mountain for beginners"! I recommend wearing sturdy shoes and clothing, and using a GPS such as Yamareco 👌🏻 It was a very fulfilling climb ⛰️ (Original) 初の本格的な登山で登りました！ 西天狗岳頂上手前の岩場や、西天狗岳〜東天狗岳などの部分が、初心者からするととても怖く、「初心者向けの山」という言葉を信じない方がいいと思います！しっかりした靴と服装で、ヤマレコなどのgpsを使っていくことをオススメします👌🏻 とても充実した登山でした⛰️

(Translated by Google) I climbed the mountain counterclockwise from Karasawa Onsen. On Sunday, I arrived at midnight because I thought the parking lot would be crowded, and spent the night in the car. The Milky Way was so captivating that it was amazing. However, since we were at an altitude of 1,800m, it was cold sleeping in the car. On the way up, we hiked through a forest of moss and Japanese silver fir. Halfway through, there was an observation deck with a spectacular view and some rock climbing, which was fun. Of course, the view from the summit was spectacular. On the way back, I descended via Kuroyuri Hütte, but the path was covered with large, boulders, so it took longer and was more difficult than the climb. It took longer than the usual course time. (Original) 唐沢鉱泉から反時計回りルートで登りました。 日曜日、駐車場が混むと思い夜中の0時到着して車中泊。 吸い込まれるような天の川が最高でした。 ただ標高1800m地点なので車中泊は寒かった。 登りは苔とシラビソの森を登り 途中からは絶景の展望台や岩登り、楽しかった。 山頂からはもちろん絶景。 帰りは黒百合ヒュッテ経由で降ったけどい、大きなゴロゴロ岩の道なので登りより時間がかかって大変でした。 通常のコースタイムより時間がかかります。

(Translated by Google) Some magazines have described this as an "introductory guide to climbing the Yatsugatake Mountains," but no, no, I think it's a mountain with a high hurdle for beginners. I hiked counterclockwise from the Karasawa Onsen trailhead, and the climb to the first observation deck was quite steep. Just before the summit of Tengu-dake (Nishi-Tengu-dake), you have to climb over rocks, and although there are painted markers, rocks of this magnitude are rare in the Okutama area. From Tengu-dake (Nishi-Tengu-dake) to Higashi-Tengu-dake, a gravelly mountain path awaits. That said, on a clear day, the views are spectacular! (Original) 雑誌等で「八ヶ岳登山入門編」と掲載されたりしていますが、いえいえ、入門編にしてはハードルが高い山だと思います。 唐沢鉱泉登山口から反時計回りで登山しましたが、第一展望台まで登りはそれなりの急登 天狗岳(西天狗岳)山頂手前は岩石を乗り越えての登りとなるのでペンキ印があるとはいえ、これだけの岩石は奥多摩界隈では殆どみかけません。天狗岳(西天狗岳)〜東天狗岳はザレた山道が待ってます。とは言え、晴天なら最高の眺望が待ってます！

(Translated by Google) I was about to give up, getting lost in the thick clouds, when suddenly the fog cleared and the view was spectacular! ✨ I was so moved. ☺️ The descent down the rocky slopes of Nishitengu-dake was amazing! The beef stew at Kuroyuri Hütte was delicious. 😋 (Original) 厚い雲に迷いそうになりながら諦めかけていたのに 突然ガスが一気に開けて絶景✨感動でした ☺️ 西天狗岳の岩場の降りはなかなかすごかった！ 黒百合ヒュッテのビーフシチュー美味しかった😋

(Translated by Google) [Visited June 28, 2025] The weather was clear and the view was spectacular. We had Neishi Pudding (blueberry milk pudding) at Neishidake Mountain Lodge and beef stew at Kuroyuri Hutte. It was delicious! Route: Counterclockwise from Karasawa Onsen. There is a rocky area just before the summit of Nishitengu Mountain. Parking: Karasawa Onsen hiker parking (approximately 30 cars) Bio-toilets available (100 yen contribution) The dirt road to Karasawa Onsen is about 3km long.

What a fabulous panoramic view from Akatake !!! Lucky to have a fine day and Mt Fuji could be seen from here ~

Loved the views front the top. Every pain in your muscle feels worth once you reach the top. The hike is not for complete beginner. So go with some idea in your mind that you will have to climb stairs and use chains to push yourself up from narrow and steep rocky areas. We didn't use a helmet to climb but felt the need of it as rocks slipped from our shoes also sometimes and we were worried if it's gonna hit somebody down. So better be prepared.

I want to climb this mountain..im currently residing near hear..any one can help me to climb this this coming December..i really hope somebody will help me because i really dont know how will i start..thanks

(Translated by Google) The highest peak in Yatsugatake. As expected from one of the 100 famous mountains, the course is well maintained and easy to climb. There are many stairs and the stone net with high rises was so engrossing that I was absorbed in climbing it before I knew it. I guess it's more fun to go around in the opposite direction because you can see the summit with your own eyes. The bad road drive at Minotoguchi has traumatized me and I don't feel like coming here again! I went from Minoto to Bunzaburo to the summit and back to Jizo. If you're not careful, you'll fall, so wear a helmet. (Original) 八ヶ岳で最高峰 さすが百名山なので コース整備され登りやすい 階段が多く　蹴上の高い　石積みネットを登るのに夢中になっていたら　あっけなく山頂でした やはり反対周りの方が　山頂を目視できるので楽しいのでしょう♪ 美濃戸口の悪路ドライブがトラウマになりもう来る気がしません！ 美濃戸から文三郎から山頂そして地蔵で帰りました 油断すると転びますので ヘルメット着用しましょう

(Translated by Google) I made a day trip from Minotoguchi to Gyojagoya on Saturday, October 18, 2025. The trail was gentle, like a hike through the forest, but once I passed Gyojagoya, the path suddenly became steeper, with wooden and iron stairs appearing. From the ridge, I had to clamber over an incredibly steep rocky area. I was exhausted by the time I got this far, but there was a summit hut just 20 meters from the peak, where I could comfortably rest and order a cup of coffee. Given the availability of such facilities, it would be better to stay overnight at a summit hut or Gyojagoya. I was exhausted and had to descend after sunset, but I'm so happy that every time I look at the Yatsugatake mountains from now on, I'll remember that I made it to the top. (Original) 2025年10月18日土曜日に美濃戸口から日帰りでピストンしました。途中の行者小屋までは森の中のハイキングという感じの緩い山道でしたが、行者小屋を過ぎると木の階段や鉄の階段が現れ急に険しくなり、尾根からは物凄く急な岩場をよじ登るようになります。 ここまで来れば体力的にもクタクタになりますが、山頂から20mも歩けば山頂小屋があるので、そこでコーヒーの一杯でも頼めば快適に休憩できます。 このような施設があるのですから山頂小屋なり行者小屋で一泊したほうが良いです。疲れ果てて日没後の下山となりましたが、今後八ヶ岳を見る度にあのてっぺんに行けたのだと思えることはとても幸せです。

(Translated by Google) I wanted to climb Akadake, the highest peak in the Yatsugatake Mountains, so I went on a solo hike on a weekday on Friday. It was cloudy from Minoto and visibility was poor all the way to Gyojagoya, and the weather was also not good on Jizo Ridge, but I was able to kill time at the summit and enjoy the spectacular view and sunset. On the way to Jizo no Atama, there were rocks, ladders, and chains, and it was easy to get wet and slippery from light rain, so I had to be careful, but if you stick to the basics, I don't think it'll be a problem. It was also good that it was a weekday and there were no other hikers passing by. I'd like to climb it again someday, but on a different route. (Original) 八ヶ岳の最高峰である赤岳に登ってみたく、金曜日の平日にソロ登山。 美濃戸からずっと曇っており行者小屋までずっと視界は良くなく、地蔵尾根も天気が良くなかったが、山頂で時間を潰して絶景と夕陽を見ることができました。 地蔵の頭迄は、岩や梯子、鎖があり、小雨に濡れて滑りがちなので慎重になりましたが 基本を押さえて移動すれば、問題ないと思います。 あとは、平日だったのですれ違う登山客が居なかったのも良かったかな。 またいつかコースを変えて登りたいと思いました。

Staff are friendly and kind The weekend activities are a lot of fun It was enjoyable for the kids and had a lot of information

(Translated by Google) Approximately 5km from Suwa IC, approximately 15 minutes. There is a large parking lot and toilets. The Yatsugatake Museum has been designated as an evacuation site, and the admission fee is 310 yen for adults, but you can get a 100 yen discount by showing your JAF membership card. This is a very large museum that exhibits the nature of the foothills of Mt. Yatsugatake and the history, industry, and folklore of the people who live there. We also hold various events, and you can participate by checking out our website. It's also a good place for elementary school students to try their hand at things like how volcanoes work and stuffed animals.The old thatched building also displays waterwheels and looms, and there's also an observation deck on the third floor, where you can see Mt. Tateshina and Mt. Kita-Yokodake. You can see it, but it was cloudy so I couldn't see it. (Original) 諏訪ICから約5Km　15分ぐらいで着きます。広い駐車場がありトイレまであります。八ヶ岳総合博物館は避難場所に指定されており入館料大人310円ですがJAFの会員証提示で100円引きにて入館出来ます。八ヶ岳の裾野の自然とそこに生きる人々の歴史、産業､民俗などを展示するとても大きな博物館です。色々なイベントも行っておりHPを見て参加も出来ます。火山の仕組みや動物の剥製などもあり小学生の体験などにも良く、昔の茅葺き建物には水車や機織り機なども展示しており3Fには展望室もあり蓼科山や北横岳も見える事が出来ますが、曇りのため見えなかったです。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot was spacious and had public toilets. A huge obsidian stone was displayed at the entrance. The second floor is a permanent ceiling area where objects related to the nature of Mt. Yatsugatake and the lives and culture of the people were displayed. On the first floor, there were exhibits of folk crafts, and you could actually experience weaving and weighing using a masu. When you enter the area on the second floor, there is a place where a volcano is set to erupt. Those who come to see it for the first time will be surprised. (Original) 駐車場は広く公衆トイレが設置されていました。入口には巨大な黒曜石が展示されていました。2階は常設天井エリアで八ヶ岳の自然に関する物や、人々の暮らしや文化に関する物が展示されていました。1階には民芸品などが展示されていたり、実際に機織りや升を使った計量の体験ができるようになっていました。 2階のエリアに入ると火山が噴火するようになっている場所があります。初めて見学に来た方は驚かれることでしょう。

(Translated by Google) The first floor is where local activities are displayed, and the second floor is the main area. I was a bit surprised when the volcano erupted first. The taxidermy exhibit was well done, but looking up the names of the animals was a bit difficult as I had to look at the bulletin board in a dimly lit place. In the second half, we were able to watch plenty of videos and videos about the famous agar-agar making and Onbashira. (Original) 一階は地元活動の展示で2階がメイン。最初に火山が噴火するので、ちょいとびっくり。剥製展示はよく出来ていますが、動物の名前を調べるのは、薄暗い所で掲示板を見なければならず、ちょっとやっかいでした。 後半は、名物の寒天作りや、御柱に関するビデオ、映像をたっぷり見る事が出来ました。

(Translated by Google) If you want to become an expert on Yatsugatake, you should come here and learn! I had fun learning about the origins and cultural development! (Original) 八ヶ岳通になりたいならここ来て学ぶべし！成り立ちから文化発展まで楽しく学べました！

(Translated by Google) When you enter the exhibition room, you will be surprised to see volcanic activity begin with a roaring sound and light as a sensor detects it. Be careful when bringing small children. Starting from the types of rocks that are inseparable from volcanic activity, to the realistic stuffed animals that live in the mountains, to the insects, and the pottery and clay clay vessels from the Jomon period to the Kofun period, you could spend a whole day looking at them. (Original) 展示室に入るとセンサーが感知して轟音と光りで火山活動が始まりビックリします。小さい子供連れてる時は気をつけて。そんな火山活動と切り離せない岩石の種類から始まり、山に生きる動物のリアルな剥製たち、昆虫まで、縄文時代から古墳時代まで土器や埴輪などしっかり見たら1日いられそうです。

(Translated by Google) The museum is quite spacious. The entrance is not facing the parking lot, but around to the left. The building is very large, and it's easy to imagine that there are a great number of exhibits. We were touring the area around Lake Suwa in one day, so we were on a time limit^^; You could really feel the curator's passion. If we have the opportunity, it's a place we'd like to come back to and take our time to explore. (Original) Ꮲがかなりの広さ。 入り口は、Ｐに面しているほうではなく、左側にぐるっと回って下さい。 建物が凄く大きくて、展示物もかなりの多さがあると容易に想像できます。 1日で諏訪湖周辺の観光巡りしていたので、タイムリミット^^; 学芸員さんの熱量を感じました。 またの機会があったら、時間の余裕を持ってゆっくり見学しに来たい場所です。

Fine soba that satisfies even picky soba eaters The owner is chosen as one of the best 100 chefs in Nagano. The Soba is made from 100% buckwheat and the texture is chewy and silky since he grows buckwheat and cuts it by himself. He recommends that you should eat the Soba with nothing first, put some salt and spicy ground radish, and then dip the Soba into dipping sauce that he is proud of. After that, you can eat whatever you like.

(Translated by Google) I dropped by on Saturday. Some reviews said there was a long wait for the food to be ready, but perhaps it was a good idea to go during the off-peak hours in the afternoon, as the food was brought to us without a long wait. The menu states that the soba noodles are grown in-house and are carefully ground. It was written that they use carefully selected ingredients for the soup. They even gave examples of how to eat the food, so I thought they were very particular about how to eat it, but the wife's customer service attitude was very gentle and she said, ``If you'd like, try this way,'' so I didn't feel like I was being forced to eat the food and it was delicious. The tea that was served first was also very tasty. The soba noodles were also chewy and I could definitely feel the subtle flavor even when I ate them alone. The rock salt had a strong taste, so I was careful not to add too much. On the other hand, the spicy daikon radish didn't feel that spicy, but it didn't have any unique bitterness, and it just went well with the soba noodles. I tried all the ways to eat it, and all of them were delicious and I was very satisfied with the taste. I ordered a large portion, but I felt like I could have had a little more after my workout. (Original) 土曜日に寄らせていただきました。 食事が出来上がるまで結構待つという口コミも見られたが、昼過ぎのピークを過ぎた時間帯に行ったのがよかったのかそこまで待つことなく持ってきてくださいました。 メニュー表には蕎麦は自家栽培で挽き方にもこだわってる内容。おつゆにも厳選したものを使ってますと書かれてました。さらには食べ方の例まで記載してくださっていてかなりこだわりの強いお店なのかなと思ってましたが、奥さんの接客態度がとても柔和で「よかったらこの食べ方試してみてください」という言い方で、窮屈さみたいなのは感じられずおいしくいただけました。 最初に提供されたお茶もとてもおいしかったです。 お蕎麦もこしがあって確かに蕎麦だけで食べてもほのかな風味を感じられました。岩塩は味濃いめだったのでかけすぎないように注意しながらいただきました。辛味大根は逆にそこまで辛いという感じはなくかといって独特の苦みもほぼなくちょうどお蕎麦にあう感じでした。 食べ方の例すべてを試してみてどれもおいしく味はとても満足でした。 量が大盛を頼んだのですが、それでも運動帰りの自分にはもう少し量があってもよかったかなと感じました。

(Translated by Google) Since I came to Tateshina, I decided to have soba noodles for lunch after taking a bath. There are many soba restaurants lined up, so I decided on this one, which didn't seem to be that big. Entered the store after 13:00 on weekdays There were 5 customers I passed on the left side of the small rise. Order a large serving of yam This is not dipping soba, but bukkake style seems to be the default. Comes with a soba choko for soba soup. Mix the soba noodles and seasonings on your plate to your liking and slurp them. The noodles are moderately uneven and have a great texture. However, the portion is small I eat it in no time I'm not going to comment on the menu since each restaurant has its own concept, but if you want to enjoy yam soba, I think "Gankawa" in Kobuchizawa is better. (Original) 蓼科に来たならってことで、お風呂上がりのランチに蕎麦をいただくことに 数多くのお蕎麦屋さんが立ち並んでいるので、それほど大箱でなさそうなこちらのお店に決めました 平日の13時過ぎに入店 先客は5組 小上がりの左側に通されました とろろ大盛りを注文 こちらはつけ蕎麦ではなく、ぶっかけスタイルがデフォのようです そば湯用にそば猪口が付いてます お皿に乗った蕎麦と薬味をお好みで混ぜ混ぜしてズルズルと啜ります 適度に不揃いな麺が歯応えバツグン ただ、盛りは少なめ あっという間に食べてしまう メニューについてはお店によってそれぞれにコンセプトがあるので口を挟むつもりはありませんが、とろろ蕎麦を楽しみたいなら小淵沢の「雁川」の方がいいかな

(Translated by Google) It's 100% buckwheat soba. There are many soba restaurants around here. I had to wait 30 minutes after ordering. I also visited on a weekday Thursday lunchtime, but they sold out pretty quickly. As an amateur, I couldn't really tell the difference, but it was delicious. (Original) 十割そばです。この辺りには多数蕎麦屋さんがあります。注文してから、30分は待たされました。また、平日の木曜のお昼に伺いましたが、結構早めに売り切れてました。中々、素人には違いが分かりませんでしたが、美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I couldn't make it to the soba restaurant I was looking for in time, so I had to search for this place at the last minute, but I was actually lucky. The store has a nice atmosphere and interior. There is a recommended way to eat soba, so I tried it out. Eating it with salt really brought out the sweetness and flavor. The soba soup at the end was also delicious. I was relaxing while drinking a bottle of beer, so I didn't really mind the time. The tempura platter was delicious, and the Nozawana pickles were well-marinated. (Original) お目当てのお蕎麦屋さんが時間的に間に合わず、急遽探しての訪問でしたが…むしろ、ラッキーでした。 雰囲気ある店構えと店内。 蕎麦の食べ方もオススメの手順があり、一巡してみました。塩で食べることで、甘さと風味が際立ってよかった。シメのそば湯がまた、美味しかったです。 瓶ビール飲みながらまったり待っていたので、時間はさほど気にならず。 盛り合わせの天ぷらも美味しく、野沢菜漬の漬かり具合もよかったです。

(Translated by Google) A nearby restaurant recommended a delicious soba restaurant, so I visited for the first time. It was lunchtime on a weekday, but I was able to get a seat right away and ordered, but it took 40 minutes for my food to come. They served soba noodles to a customer who arrived later, and then the extra noodles that came later were mistakenly served to another customer, so they were overdue and I ended up canceling my order. The head chef in the kitchen also spoke loudly to an older woman who was making her rounds, and I could hear him as I was sitting at the counter. The atmosphere was unpleasant, which was a shame. The soba was delicious, but I won't be going there again. (Original) 近くのレストランに美味しいお蕎麦屋さんを教えていただいて初めて訪れました。 平日のお昼時でしたが席にはすぐ座れて注文しましたが、お食事が出てくるまで40分。 後から入店して来たお客様の方に先にお蕎麦を出し、その後の追加の麺も間違えて他のお客様に出されてしまい、食べ頃がされてしまい結局その注文はキャンセルしました。 厨房内の大将が外回りをしているおばぁさんに注意する声も大きくてカウンターに座っている私にも筒抜け。空気が悪くて残念でした。 お蕎麦は美味しかったのですがもう行くことはないです。

(Translated by Google) A trip to Shinshu is a must-try: soba noodles. So I stopped by here. The soba noodles are 100% buckwheat, and the delicious aroma of soba fills your nose. It was my first time eating soba noodles with salt, and it was surprisingly delicious! The soba noodles were delicious, but even better was the soba tea, which I bought some from the shop. (Original) 信州旅行はやっぱり、お蕎麦。 ということで立ち寄りました。 蕎麦は十割で、蕎麦の良い香りが鼻から抜けますね。 塩で蕎麦を食べたのは初めてですが意外と美味しいです‼️ 蕎麦も美味しいんですが、それよりも蕎麦茶が凄く美味しくて、お店で売ってた蕎麦茶を購入したよ。

(Translated by Google) I went in to have a quick meal on the way back from a trip, and found it to be a stylish restaurant serving course meals. When I was at a loss as to what to do with my friend, the madam of the restaurant seemed to understand and said heartwarming words to me, saying that she would make some light pasta and salad for me. Please take my word for it. The salad was made with home-grown vegetables and was very delicious, and she made two types of pasta: squid ink and seafood, and asked us to share the pasta as well. We had a lot of fun talking, and the last lunch of our trip became an unforgettable memory. I went home talking to my friend about how I would like to visit her again. Thank you very much. (Original) 旅行の帰りに軽く食事しようと入ってみたところ、コース料理のオシャレなお店。友達とどうしようと迷っていたら、お店のマダムが察してくれたみたいで軽くパスタとサラダでもお作りしますよと心暖まるお言葉を。そのお言葉に甘えてお願いしますと。サラダも自家栽培のお野菜でとても美味しくパスタもシェアして食べて下さいと2種類のイカスミとシーフードのパスタを作って下さいました。とても楽しいお話しもしていただいて旅行最後のランチが忘れられない良い思い出になりました。またちゃんとお伺いしたいねと友達と話ながら帰りました。本当にありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) I had heard about this restaurant from an acquaintance and had always wanted to come. It was even better than I had heard. The meat was delicious, of course, but the menu items made with home-grown vegetables were also delicious. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely come again. (Original) 以前知人に聞いて、ずっと来たいと思っておりました。聞いていた以上に素敵なお店でした。お肉はもちろんのこと、自家製野菜を使ったメニューがこれまたうまい・・。 機会があれば、ぜひまた利用したいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I used it for an anniversary with my lover. Not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere of the restaurant was also friendly and I was able to eat without feeling nervous. The course meals are filled with carefully selected vegetables, and I enjoyed listening to the explanations of the ingredients in an easy-to-understand manner. I would like to visit you again if I have a chance, thank you very much. (Original) 恋人との記念日に利用しました 料理が美味しいのはもちろんですが、お店の方の雰囲気も柔らかく肩肘張らずに食事ができました コース料理はこだわりの野菜メインでお腹いっぱいになります、食材の説明も分かりやすく聞いていて楽しかったです また機会があればお伺いさせていただきたいと思います、ありがとうございました

(Translated by Google) I always use this restaurant on special occasions. I can leave the cooking to them and rest assured that it never disappoints. Their meat dishes are famous, but their side dishes are also very impressive! I always think of the atmosphere as being Ghibli-esque. (Original) 何かの記念日にいつも利用しています。 お料理はお任せして安心できるからハズレなし。 お肉料理が有名だけどサブのお料理もインパクト大！雰囲気がジブリっていつも思う。

(Translated by Google) I was looking for a delicious lunch restaurant with my family on the way back from Tateshina, and it had great reviews, so I made a reservation and went there. It was a cozy restaurant with about five tables, one chef and one server. For lunch, I ordered a 3,500 yen course that included hors d'oeuvres (choose from 5 to 7 types), soup, salad, main (meat or fish), and dessert. The hors d'oeuvres were sea bream carpaccio and tuna wrapped in prosciutto, and both were delicious, especially the latter, which had a texture I had never eaten before and I devoured it in no time. By mixing the consommé jelly with the vichyssoise, the cold soup gradually changed its taste and I was able to enjoy it (the flowers at the bottom of the soup were also beautiful 🌼) The main dish was stewed hamburger meat, but the flavor soaked into the meat well, making it soft and melty, making it very delicious. The last dessert was also fun because the whole family got to share different cakes and ice cream. It was a great restaurant with great food, service, and atmosphere. If I have a chance, I would like to go there again for dinner. (Original) 蓼科からの帰りに家族で美味しいランチのお店を探していてとても評価が高いので予約して行ってみました。 5つほどのテーブルでシェフとサービスの方1人ずつのアットホームなお店でした。 ランチはオードブル(5〜7種類から選ぶ)にはスープ・サラダにメイン(肉・お魚)・デザートで3500円のコースをオーダーしました。 オードブルは鯛のカルパッチョとマグロを生ハムで包みでしたがどちらも美味しく特に後者は今まで食べたことない食感であっという間に平らげました。 冷製スープはビシソワーズでコンソメのジュレを混ぜることで徐々に味が変化して楽しんで頂けけました(スープの下にあるお花も綺麗🌼) メインハンバーグ肉の煮込みですがよくお肉に味が染みてホロホロと柔らかく肉がトロける食感でとても美味しく頂きました。 最後のデザートも家族全員違うケーキとアイスでシェアしたりできて楽しかったです。 料理もサービスもお店の雰囲気も素敵なレストランでした。 機会があればディナーにもまた行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) I am always very satisfied with the food made with the best ingredients. The taste of the ingredients is very good, and I have yet to meet a corn soup that is better than the one here. (Original) いつも最高の素材の料理で大満足です。 素材の味がとても良く、ここのコーンスープを超えるコーンスープには未だに出会えたことがないです。

(Translated by Google) This is the impression I received from you before. Despite the circumstances, we were able to open earlier than the opening time for dinner 🍽. The vegetables grown on their own farm were very delicious, and the wife was very kind in explaining the vegetables and mushrooms🍄. The corn soup 🌽 was the best out of all the home-grown ones (lol) The food that followed was also very delicious and we had a great time 😊 I would like to stop by again when I'm in the area. (Original) 以前寄せていただいた時の感想です。こちらの都合にも関わらずディナー🍽の開店時間より早く開けていただきました。自家農園で育った野菜は🥬とても美味しく野菜やきのこ🍄の説明なども奥さんがとても親切に説明して下さいました。自家栽培の中でもコーンスープ🌽は最高でした(笑)後の料理もとても美味しくとてもいい時間を過ごす事ができました😊また近くに来た時には寄りたいと思います。

We visited this facility only to use the hot springs, not to stay overnight. This facility has many hot spring locations, but in our case we were limited to one hot spring. However, the hot springs facing the stream are wonderful, and the facility is spacious, clean and comfortable to use. If you love hot springs, this hot spring facility will not disappoint you.　After 1pm, you can use the hot spring facilities even if you are not staying at the hotel.

Nestled beside a serene waterfall, this onsen hotel beautifully blends traditional charm with modern amenities. Despite its classic ambiance, the facilities are well-equipped and maintained with a touch of elegance, ensuring a comfortable and refined stay. The buffet dining is a highlight, offering a rich variety of European and Asian dishes. The sashimi, in particular, stands out for its exceptional freshness, delighting seafood lovers. The dessert selection is another pleasant surprise, with an array of sweet treats that perfectly complement the meal. For those who prefer a more intimate onsen experience, the private rooms with views of the waterfall are a must. The scenery is especially breathtaking in autumn, when golden leaves and crisp air create a poetic, tranquil atmosphere. This hotel is a gem for anyone seeking a blend of tradition, comfort, and natural beauty.

My partner and I stayed in October 2024, a beautiful time of year with the natural surroundings. Breakfast was great but we were particularly impressed with the dinner service. The employee who took care of us during the dinner service was very professional and had great hospitality, unfortunately I do not remember her name.

Great location in the mountains, we had a river view from our room, this hotel is very kid friendly, hot springs are on the property and all you can eat restaurant on level one. Remember this is a traditional style Japanese hotel, so the rooms/bathrooms are on the smaller side.

My kids loved the room! The buffet was pretty great, and everything tasted delicious. Getting the private onsen was nice too.

This is a very large spa hotel. The spa is very nice and relaxing and the restaurant is buffet style with plenty of food dishes from which to select. The room I stayed in was in the lower floor and it was very small. I had to use part of the bed to open my 26-inch suitcase. Other than being small, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room can get warm when the heater is running, but you can open the window to get fresh, cool air or you can turn on the air conditioner. The one thing I did not like was the lack of WiFi in the rooms. The hotel hotel only has WiFi in the lobby. If you are looking for a nice spa hotel and you are in the area, I recommend a visit.

This place has really nice internal and external baths. I've been here about five times, and the staff are great, and the service is great. I have no complaints, and only good things to say about this place. They have great quality control over their food, and their cooks are very friendly people. I will never stop coming back. It's always on the top of my list of places to consider for short stays in the Nagano area.

🌿 Highly Recommended: Switch Back Restaurant 🌿 During our stay in the area, we ate at Switch Back three times — and every time was excellent! The food was delicious and prepared with great care. We especially enjoyed the Caesar salad, fish carpaccio, oven-roasted vegetables, cheesy pasta, and the panna cotta for dessert — all were outstanding. The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and professional — and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. A wonderful place for a tasty Western-style meal with an Italian touch. Highly recommended💫

Fantastic restaurant!! Foreigner friendly and they even let me bring my toy poodle in 😊 Delicious food, beautiful scenic area eating amongst the wildlife and a stream. Really really recommend for lunch and or dinner! Thankyou!

Amazing service, very dog friendly, delicious food, a fantastic restaurant that I highly recommend. We visited the restaurant for lunch with my dog and they gave us a private room with a dog seat.

I had the best western food in an eastern country!!! 😄😄😄

Loved the place! had Pizza marguerita and cooked vegetables (Top salad choice). server was friendly and we got seated near the chef who was lovely. All in all great taste, good service, good mood

Great experience. Excellent food. Very good white wine. The service is excellent! Free parking.

Although we had driven by this restaurant many times and never noticed it, it was recommended to us by a staff member at our hotel when the onsite restaurant was fully booked, and we were very pleased with the quality of the food they served. Although it looks like quite a casual restaurant from the road (there is even a large plastic ice cream cone outside the door), and the decor looks very family restaurantish, the chef uses very good quality ingredients and is obviously quite serious about his cooking. We started with a selection of pizza oven roasted vegies served with a little bagna cauda sauce, followed by a pork ragout spaghetti (the meat was tender and tasty, but I wish there had been more sauce), and then a delicious mushroom and ham pizza. And the cheap red and white South African wines they serve by the glass were quite decent. In addition, they allow dogs on their deck, and because it was raining quite hard that night, they kindly moved us into a small private room by ourselves. We will certainly return. April 2024 Update: We went for lunch for the first time, and we were pleased to find they have a new ¥2000 lunch set that includes an apetiser plate (see attached photo), 1 pizza or pasta (of 4), and a drink.
