This is my first time making a reservation.We were given an explanation of how to use the room, and the room was for two people.Restrooms and baths are shared, but the baths are hot springs♨️, and if possible, rooms (family members) are allowed. But it's great to put it comfortably 😃The meals (from 18:30) are delicious, and you can get free refills.It was really delicious because it was a new rice at the time!My wife and I had a bottle of wine 🍷, so we didn't get a refill lol.Breakfast is also delicious with freshly baked bread.Both dinner and breakfast were more than enough for my husband and I.The dried flowers made by the wife were beautifully laid out, and the dandelions were especially beautiful😀For my wife and I, it was an overnight stay after fishing in the Saigawa River. After checking out, at Horigane no Sato,It's a great location to buy delicious Nagano rice and vegetables, as well as Nagano's local sake.The soft serve ice cream from the nearby Northern Alps Farm is also delicious!Thank you for your help.

I stayed for one night with dinner included. Dinner is delicious. Koshihikari rice from Azumino is especially delicious. The main dishes include fish and meat, and the dessert is chiffon cake. Comes with tea or coffee. The bath is available for private use as a family bath. The hot water is the best. Comfortable with 3 beds. The interior is wonderful with dried flowers and a natural feel.

A beautiful inn full of dried flowers.I visited with friends on a bicycle trip.The style is to take off your shoes at the entrance.It is decorated with lots of dried flowers and is very nice♪The rooms were named after flowers and decorated with pictures of those flowers.There is no refrigerator etc. Simple style with just a bed, one chair, and a TV.There are two natural hot spring baths, and when you use them, you have to take the tag from the front desk and lock the door.There are two washing areas inside, so it is efficient for two people to enter at a time.Washrooms and toilets were located near the bath and on the second floor, separated by gender.There are no amenities.You must bring your own towels, bath towels, nightwear, and toothbrushes. Apparently towels and toothbrushes are on sale.There is a parking lot for 8 cars, but I felt like I needed some good parking techniques. There are steps, so you need to be brave!If you don't have a car, it seems like they will pick you up at Hotaka Station.Pick-up is between 4:00pm and 5:00pm, drop-off is until 9:30am...There were two bicycle racks inside the room, and I didn't check how many there were outside, but there was a bicycle rack on the roof. We didn't use the bike rack this time as we left it in the car.Meal times are fixed: dinner at 6:30 pm and breakfast at 8:00 am. You can eat it at the dining room on the first floor.Dinner had a different menu on both days and was delicious.Soup, salad, fish main, meat main, rice, and dessert.The rice is Azumino Koshihikari rice made by the owner.For breakfast, if you leave early in the morning, please prepare a bento box.During the night, they prepare it for you and place it in the dining room or at the front desk for each room.It was 2 rice balls, a boiled egg, a banana, and a 500ml plastic bottle of tea.Carbohydrates and protein are perfect! I thought it was perfect for a pre-workout meal.It was delicious♪When we left, we took a photo in front of the signboard...It was a nice and warm inn.The cost is 9,600 yen including accommodation and dinner. It seems that the price will increase to 10,000 yen from R6.8.24.

I was on a sudden trip and there were no accommodations available anywhere, so what should I do? ! This is the inn I found. Is it okay for you to stay until the end even though the reviews are so high? That's what I thought when I asked.The result was a very correct answer!The dishes made with plenty of home-grown vegetables were very delicious. You will also be soothed by the wonderful interior decorated with dried flowers made by his wife. moreover! Even though it's a pension, the bath is actually a hot spring. It seems to be a hot spring drawn from Nakabusa Onsen.After dinner, my husband likes photography and I like photography too. We had a very lively conversation, and while I was shown photos of Nagano in front of the fireplace, I was asked to share many of my experiences.The room only had a bed, so I had a bit of trouble deciding what to do with my luggage, but it's a pension, so I guess that's just the way it is.The apples were also delicious and I bought a lot to take home!By the way, before breakfast, I woke up early and took a picture of the sunrise from a hill a short drive away. I was able to enjoy the wonderful scenery and enjoy the delicious breakfast. Thank you!

I've used it several times.Everything inside and outside the building is clean.The bath is also circular, but I think the spacious bathtub and gentle quality of the water will make you feel like you've taken a bath in a hot spring.The customer service is a pleasant combination of an elegant and kind landlady and a quiet but pleasant husband (who is not taciturn) who speaks Kansai dialect once you get used to it.The food was also great.It's a full course.The homemade vegetable salad, soup, and homemade rice are absolutely delicious.The main meat dish and the fish dish before that are also of a much higher quality than other restaurants in the area. (The sauce is also great, and even the garnishes are delicious)More dessert!Daughter? Your daughter's husband? We even offer sweets made by professionals.Drinks include beer, wine, and sparkling drinks, all of which are reasonably priced. (If you tell your husband, he will also serve you whiskey or brandy.)At this price, you won't be able to taste it normally.When it gets cold, we turn on the wood stove, so it's soothing to relax and watch the fire burning.This is a wonderful inn where you can feel the nature, food, and warmth of people in Azumino.I don't want to give too much away, but I decided to comment.postscriptI updated it because the reviews disappeared.

It was a very delicious breakfast and dinner. The owner's warm conversation and the warm natural hot springs soothed my tiredness from the trip.We look forward to seeing you again during the autumn fruit season.

(Mid August 2023)It is located near Hotaka Onsenkyo Onsen Park in Hotaka Onsenkyo.If you take the regular bus bound for Nakabusa Onsen between Hotaka Station and Nakabusa Onsen from the Onsen Park North Exit bus stop, it's about a 3-minute walk up a gentle slope.Therefore, it was about a 5 minute walk between Rhododendron Hot Spring and the pension.The entire building is beautiful, and as the name ``Flower Words'' suggests, dried flowers are decorated everywhere. All the rooms are named after flowers. I felt that it was clean and that the cleaning was done carefully.Each room has a new air conditioner, which may be necessary during midsummer days even in Azumino. When I went to bed, I could open the window and enjoy the cool mountain air, which made it more comfortable to sleep without air conditioning.There are shared toilets and sinks on the 1st and 2nd floors. The hair dryer is located in the sink.There are two baths, so-called family bath style. Take the sign indicating that the bath is in use from the front desk and display it at the bath entrance. Therefore, if there is no tag on the front desk, you will know that it is in use. The bathtub is spacious and can accommodate three people.Now, let's look forward to dinner, which is of a very high standard. They say they use plenty of homegrown vegetables.The cool potato soup had a nice sweet potato flavor and was perfect for summer.The cold tomatoes had very little acidity and were very sweet.The main dish is coarsely ground hamburger steak and sautéed red sea bream. The taste was perfect.Dessert is banana chiffon cake. I chose hot coffee, and I think they are probably particular about the beans they use, but it had a very nice aroma.Considering the price of just under 10,000 yen for one night and two meals, the meal was surprisingly good.Since we were planning to take the early morning bus to climb the mountain the next morning, we had our breakfast packed as a packed lunch. Two rice balls, a boiled egg, and a banana. As I noticed during dinner, the rice was glossy, chewy, and delicious. I ate small portions during a break while climbing, but the rice balls were delicious and I was grateful.Personally, it was a strong candidate for the night before climbing Mt. Tsubaku due to its good location, excellent food, and hot springs.Most of all, I am attracted to the couple's gentle and unpretentious personalities.I would definitely like to visit again.
