Check in at 3pmThere is chilled tea, water, and Ebisu beer in the refrigerator that you can enjoy as a welcome drink.You can change your beer to Nagano apple juice.You can use the private open-air bath at any time without making a reservation as long as the key is empty.(There is no washing area, so it is best to clean your body first.)You can also eat out at restaurants around Lake Tateshina from around 5pm.A fire is lit in the fireplace with wood around 7pm.The men's and women's baths change places around 10pm.You can order the dinner drink menu in your room, so you can also drink whiskey and wine.Breakfast at 8:30amYou can take a bath until 10amCheck out at 11:00am, receive a souvenir and see you off to your car.I took a bath at 15:00, 20:00, and 9:00, and the temperature was pleasantly hot for my cold body.I was happy that it wasn't cold because there was not only an air conditioner but also a gas heater in the room and changing room.Tea sweets, tea, green tea, and coffee are available in the room.Cleansing, facial wash, lotion, and emulsion were also available in the room.Hair dryers and toothbrushes are also provided, so you can go empty-handed.There are nightwear and yukata, thick cotton jackets and tabi socks.Hot black coffee is always available in the lobby with a fireplace.It was a comfortable stay with a lot of freedom.I am glad that I worked hard to climb Mt. Tateshina.It seems to be the only acidic hot spring in Nagano Prefecture, so be sure to try it.Google navigation is recommended as car navigation will not guide you correctly.There are a lot of deer, so please be careful when driving.

It was a very cool and quiet inn as it is located at a high altitude.There is a washing area in the open-air bath in the guest room, so you can relax while looking outside.The food was also very delicious.

I think it's a very good inn (hotel) with basically no exceptions. First of all, the temperature, size, and atmosphere of the attached bath in ``Ayame'' are outstanding. This time I ended up not going to the public bath. I was able to fully relax in the open-air bath in my room.The room is very quiet and the area around the inn is also quiet. Birds were constantly chirping, and although it rained, it was very cool, and I felt that Tateshina Highlands would not disappoint.The meals are unique in their cooking methods, including local vegetables and sweetfish. Not only is it stylishly presented, but it's also delicious. Sweetfish chazuke etc. cannot be eaten anywhere else. The corn and milk potage is also delicious.Although I couldn't enjoy coffee on the balcony this time, you can drink coffee or tea while breathing in the fresh air after breakfast. That's the only disappointing thing this time, and as a result, I gave it one less star rating.If possible, I would like to go to Tateshina in the fall.However, I felt that the entrance gate to the parking lot was a little narrow. A car that doesn't have the ability to turn quickly may feel ``small'' for a moment.Although the price is not cheap, I think it can be recommended to some extent for people who are looking for hot springs with natural hot springs, silence, and delicious food. For the same price, you can also stay at Sasaya's Hounenmushi, which is more expensive than Kashiwaya's main store. It may be that the place called Tateshina has some value.

I stayed in the Nanaka Mado room. The open-air bath was great, but the room felt a little small. It's clean, but maybe a little outdated.The food was wonderful. The private open air is a roofless type that you can enter if it is vacant. The water is hot, but it feels liberating.

The room was old, but it was well-cleaned and comfortable. There are pajamas and a yukata, so you can change into them if you sweat. The meal was really delicious.

The food for dinner is quite elaborate...but does that mean it's delicious? It is not. Personally, I don't think so. Breakfast was simple and good. The temperature difference in the baths is too high, and the indoor bath in the morning is probably around 44 or 45 degrees Celsius, so I can't take a bath. It's very lukewarm outside. The lounge atmosphere and customer service were good.In summary, I personally don't think it was that good for the price.
