Tsugaike Sanso

Finally, the long-awaited Tsugaike Sanso! ! (Crackling crackling~♪)I've been coming to this legendary mountain lodge for several years to photograph the autumn leaves and have been wanting to stay there, but it's so popular that it's always booked up.This year, my husband's birthday was miraculously canceled, and miraculously it was perfect and sunny, so I don't need anything else. I had such a happy time!The first problem I had when going to the mountain lodge was my luggage. There was no way I could pack towels, toiletries, pajamas, makeup, a fleece for the night or early morning, a hat, etc. into a suitcase and drag it down a gravel road (my husband's backpack contained three cameras, a tripod, etc.) )My backpack, Boston bag (I never saw anyone using one), and a large tote bag barely fit it (and I compressed it a lot).When I arrived at the parking lot just after 10 o'clock on a weekend, it was already full. There is a private parking lot for guests, so my husband and I unloaded our luggage and ran to park the car.I lined up at the ticket office and handed over the mountain lodge accommodation ticket with my name that I had photocopied in advance to exchange for a gondola ticket (this seemed like a complete waste of time, paper, and effort).When I arrived at the mountain hut and tried to leave my luggage, an old man showed me that I could go to my room now. How kind! !Enjoy a lap around the beautiful Tsugaike Pond, and once you're full of energy, have dinner. This is already delicious and I'm so happy. The staff brings out the piping hot food one by one, and you can get as many refills of rice and miso soup as you like, so everyone goes for a refill (lol).The futon in the room is fluffy, the spring water bath is small but clean, and most of the rooms are rented out. I wish I had been told that there were no tissues in the room. I managed to do something with what I had on hand.Just before 3 a.m., slippers start flapping all at once in the hallway. This is really noisy, please consider getting rid of slippers.I woke up at 5 a.m., saying I was feeling sleepy, went to a popular photo spot, saw the amazing sunrise, and was moved. When I got back, we all had breakfast together. delicious~! I'm happy♪Then I noticed that no one was wearing makeup. I don't care about organic shampoo, and I don't bring a change of clothes with my pajamas (my husband apparently can't sleep without it). No, I could have packed even less! !But it was definitely the best trip of my life.Thank you everyone! Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday!Also, during skunk cabbage season.
