Ciel Lodge

Since it was OK for one person, I made a last minute reservation and stayed for 5 consecutive days.The room is a small twin room with a unit bath and toilet.Considering the number of rooms, the parking lot is large enough, so if there is less than one car per room, it won't be full.The first floor is a dining room.Breakfast is Western food. (Egg dishes, salads, sausages, etc., bread, coffee)The base is 2 pieces of bread, but you can get extras. (delicious)There is no room cleaning during consecutive nights.Amenities include packed towels and toothbrushes.It is better to bring your own towel and toothbrush.Foot towels, shampoo, and body soap in the unit bath are always provided.There is free Wifi although I didn't use it.The heating is a fuel-based heater, so turn it off when you go to sleep.(If used continuously, ventilation may be necessary from time to time.)There was no separate bill for heating costs.(It's good that you don't feel like you didn't hear that when you check out.)It's about a 3 minute drive to Goryu Ski Resort, and if you go straight up the road in front of the pension, you'll reach the ski resort, but it's probably closed to traffic. (I didn't look closely)Turn left at the end of the climb sign, then turn right at the end.By the way, the access to the pension from National Route 148 is narrow and difficult to navigate, so drive slowly at night. (If heading north, pass Kamishiro station and turn left after about 100m)Cross the railroad crossing (there is a railroad crossing where cars cannot pass between Kamishiro Station and the road in front of the pension, so if you take the wrong path you will be in trouble) and go up the road.At night, you can rely on the pension's lighting.The parking lot is in the square in front of the pension building.There is a small sign that says Ciel in the alphabet. (It's pitch black at night, so it's easy to miss)It was a nice pension.Also, I think I'll just make a last-minute reservation and go there.

As soon as I announced my arrival at the bus stop, which is about an hour away by bus from Nagano Station on the Shinkansen, a minibus came to pick me up. …

Compact design overall. The rooms are fine for just sleeping and waking up, but some rooms are too small for relaxing. …
