長野市梅翁寺附近酒店

東京から茅野までの「あずさ」の往復とバスの乗って松本と上田の観光、翌々日に高遠へ行くという信州の桜を巡る格安のツアーで2泊しました。総額で34,000円なのでホテルに割ける費用は限られていると思います。なのでホテルには期待はしていませんでした。湯田中温泉と言っても夜間瀬川の対岸の穂波温泉に位置します。湯田中温泉も寂れていますが、さらにこちら側は寂れています。周囲には廃墟になったホテルや旅館もある中頑張っているのだと思いますが、施設はかなりくたびれています。特に客室のくたびれ度合いは進んでいると思います。2泊連泊なのですが、掃除や布団の上げ下ろしは省略されています。浴衣とバスタオルなどは2泊分が用意されていました。そんな中で夕食は部屋食なので、テーブルは脇に寄せられ、照明が当たらないので暗い印象を受けます。ツアーの案内にも部屋食がポイントにはなっていますが、特にサービスとしてのポイントではなく、大広間の1つが朝食会場なのと、もう1つが宴会場なので部屋で食べるしかないのが実情のように思います。宿泊した時は別の団体さんが宴会をしていて、カラオケの音がうるさかったです。フロントから一度階段を下りてエレベーターに乗るので、足の悪い方にはお勧めできません。部屋食は会席のセットですが、コンロで暖める料理が2つありますが、それ以外は冷めています。同じように温め直せればよいと思います。自分たちはコンロの料理の脇に乗せて温め直しました。固形燃料とアルミホイルとライターがあると便利だと思います。部屋にはお勧めの追加料理の案内がありますが、注文するなら前日の早い時間にしたほうが良いと思います。朝食時はレストランのスタッフの方が少なくて、ジュースに牛乳や料理がすぐに切れてしまいますが補充が遅いです。珈琲が切れていたのでスタッフの方にお願いしたところ、廊下から「コ―ヒーコーヒーうるさいんだよ！」という声が聞こえてきました。その方が戻ってきたので嗜めると片付けの手を止めずにお尻をこちらに向けながら「そりゃーすいませんでしたね。」と言って去っていきます。フロントに行って報告したところすぐに読んで謝らせます。」とのことでしたが、謝意のある方では無いのは分かっているので翌朝のレストランで顔を合わせないようにしていただきました。翌朝は若いスタッフの方がたくさんいて驚きました。唯一温泉だけは源泉かけ流しで、もったいないほどお湯が流れています。少し集めで気持ち良かったです。サウナはありませんが、露天風呂も良かったです。ちょっと残念な滞在ではありましたが、朝食の一件以外は悪い印象はありません。

這麼熱的天，4樓竟然沒有冷氣。隱約感覺到通過攜程訂的房間存在歧視對待。次日通過交涉給我們換到6樓。

多麼可愛的地方啊！距離火車站步行2分鐘，我們住在傳統的日式房間，非常有趣。房間很大，有兩張舒適的蒲團、帶地板座位的矮桌、房間裡的水壺（自帶茶或咖啡）和一個很好的淋浴。儘管有語言障礙，業主還是非常樂於助人（成功使用了谷歌翻譯）。他們為我們提供了後續火車時刻表的建議，帶我們去雪猴公園，讓我們不必等公共汽車，再次接我們，為我和我丈夫提供了私人溫泉課程，並將豐盛的熟食中式早餐送到我們的房間在早晨。當我們離​​開時，他們給了我們一套裝飾筷子作為禮物。強烈推薦這家日式旅館。

From the moment you enter Kokuya Ryokan, be prepared to leave the real world behind and fully immerse yourself in the experience. You swap your shoes for slippers at the door and don’t see them again until you leave. You will receive a warm welcome from polite and gentle-mannered staff, get taken up to your beautiful room, and once you’ve changed into your traditional yukata, it’s time to let the relaxation begin. The multi-course dinner will probably be one of the best meals you’ve had in your life, with many unusual textures and flavors to try. The futons are comfortable, and your room is kept toasty warm. There are even skincare products to keep you pampered and moisturized between soaks in the onsen. Honestly, you won’t even need to open your suitcase while you’re there. The staff will take you through all the logistics when you arrive, but there are some things that might be useful to know in advance. - The ryokan sends a shuttle to Yudanaka station at about 15:00 to collect new arrivals, so time your journey to take advantage of this benefit. - The ryokan also offers guests the opportunity to catch a shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park immediately after breakfast the next morning. - After you leave the ryokan, they will take your luggage down to the coffee shop opposite the station, so you don’t need to worry about those logistics. - Trains from Yudanaka back to Nagano leave at 12:30 and 15:30. - The ryokan itself has several private onsens that you can reserve for a 45-minute slot. Because the onsens are on the property, you can go in with your partner or travel companions regardless of gender. It’s a boutique hotel, so you don’t have to worry about not getting access to all the onsens you want. - The ryokan is on the main road of the Shibu Onsen town. The hotel will give you a key so you can wonder down the main road, visiting any of the public onsens you wish - however, with so many gorgeous and more private onsens in the hotel itself, you probably won’t have time or the desire for this. - Also, there is a coffee machine in the room! (I was worried about having to survive without coffee, and this turned out to be an unfounded concern). We had an incredible and totally indulgent time at Kokuya. Experiencing a traditional ryokan is a privilege that you should try at least once if you can. And adding the Snow Monkeys in give the trip a double purpose, making it that much more memorable. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if we had been allowed to linger longer over every course of our dinner.

我們住在一間帶私人溫泉的房間。這是一個大房間,地板上有兩張牀和一個用餐區。我真的很欣賞側面還有一個小化妝區/桌子。房間內的溫泉很大很舒服。它有一個打開的大窗戶,帶來了清爽的涼爽空氣。皮膚的洗浴用品豪華而完美。大淋浴對我們來說也是加分項,食物令人難以置信,能夠嘗試新的口味和口味,我很快就會忘記。早餐雞肉配番茄洋蔥,真是驚喜,晚餐的鮑魚也是啓示,我的DH是個高大的男人,我們真的很欣賞牀的長度,淋浴和溫泉的大小。唯一的問題是酒店工作人員不太精通英語,儘管他們盡力了。

一個真正獨特又實惠的地方,有一個真正很棒的主人。偶然發現這個,我們都很驚訝我們的住宿。地方比較老舊,家一般,但是房間和設施都很好。我們開始入住時,請了主人宮三(Miyasaka San)提供晚餐,這是一頓非常豐盛且範圍廣泛的餐(刺身、天婦羅等),包括我們每個人準備的9個菜。隨後宮三給我們上了一堂關於九渡的歷史課,幾天後我們很幸運能跟他一起上一堂,他也表演了九渡儀式,這是一次令人驚歎的經歷。他親切地開車送我們到猴園散步的入口處,我們在五月,晚春的時候還在這裏,還看見周圍巨大的蘋果樹農場的花。這個地區是一個安靜迷人的小型“城鎮”鏈,在這裏真正的享受是你可以訪問的9個公共常識。閱讀他們。這將是冬季滑雪的好地方,以擺脫真正的超人流行的地方。您搭乘火車到長野,然後換乘火車到終點站的Yudanaka,到山野,這裏真的是鄉村,入住這個ryokan只會增加體驗。我們希望有一天能回來,完成射箭作業:)

I booked a night in Yudanaka with my partner so that we could visit the Snow Monkey Park. Most places were already booked up, so we went for Yorozuya (sometimes romanised as Yoroduya) even though it was a little beyond our budget. At £300 a night for a double room with dinner and breakfast, I thought “this had better be good…” Honestly, it was probably worth double that. The ryokan itself is massive; the atrium has a scale that almost defies sense. We were greeted by staff who were awaiting our arrival, and took our luggage up to our room while we enjoyed a complementary matcha tea. A guide led us up the stairs, handed us XL yukata to wear during our stay and explained the situation with towels. She took us in the lift to our room, and showed us how to access the onsens and where the dining halls would be. We took a few moments to settle into our tatami-floored room, change into our yukata, and investigate the albeit pretty boring view from our balcony. For the record: the joy here is _inside_ the ryokan rather than outside. We tested both the on-site onsen; they operate on schedules so that male guests and female guests bathe separately, but can both enjoy both of the baths. It is worth trying both. It’s a cliché to say, but particularly coming from Europe without much experience of this kind of venue, they made me feel like I was in Spirited Away, if Spirited Away was a series of Hokusai prints. I loved relaxing in the heat of the outdoor bath surrounded by rocks, trees and classically Japanese sculptures, with snow gently falling. Suitably relaxed, it was time for dinner. This was worth the whole booking price alone. We were served a 10-course kaiseki dinner, in a private booth, with attentive staff bringing us fresh water and sake whenever we desired. Every single bite was exquisite. While not 10 courses, this extended into breakfast which was a similar luxurious experience. I was sad we only had one night there, and would go back in a heartbeat. The experience of staying here creates a stronger draw for me to return to Yudanaka than the snow monkeys. We were treated so well, and truly unwound in a setting that felt almost too good to be real.

Staying at Shimaya was the most delightful experience in so many respects. We were picked up from the station, by one of the staff and after check in, he took us to the snow monkey park where we had a wonderful day. On our return, we were met by Mr Yumoto who was very kind and helpful, giving us information on a local onsen and places to eat. The room was big and comfortable with a balcony and a great view of the town and mountains. The breakfast in the morning was an event in itself! There was a pianola playing in the background and Mr Yumoto came down and put on his vintage jukebox and played some Beatle records. It was so nice to see his pride in his establishment. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful. On our return to Australia, we met up with friends who coincidentally had also stayed at Shimaya and had similarly found it superb. I can highly recommend Shimaya as a place to stay in Yamanouchi.
