#Travel record Enjoy the private space of Shiobara Onsen at the inn "Kyuan Iida". A hidden inn that takes pride in its cuisine and only accepts two groups per day. All rooms have an open-air bath and a private dining room. Both the indoor and outdoor baths are from the source of "Shiobara Hinode Onsen", an alkaline simple hot spring with beautiful skin. The thick water moisturizes the skin and warms the body from the core. It relieves daily fatigue and makes your skin and hair smooth and shiny. The food is a Japanese-style banquet. It is a beautiful and flavorful Japanese dish that makes the most of the seasonal ingredients that are unique to a Japanese-style inn. Each dish was very elaborate and I was very satisfied. The tableware and dining room arrangement also reflect the policy of "Wazen Iida" in Nihonbashi Ningyocho, which values ​​harmony and inherits Japanese traditions. I have visited twice and have been very satisfied with the hot water and food. Thank you very much. ✧⋄ ⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Spot information 📍You can receive chiropractic and acupuncture treatments in your room Reservation required For details, please check the website 📍About 20 minutes by car from Nasu-Shiobara Station #Tochigi#Nasu-Shiobara #Hot springs #Gourmet #Domestic travel #Luxury accommodation #Girls trip

I took advantage of the nationwide travel support and stayed at Shionoyu Onsen Rengetsu❣️ A little less than 40 minutes by free shuttle bus from Nasu-Shiobara Station on the Shinkansen line, and checked in to this inn in the mountains on a special trolley! The steep descent was like an attraction and really got me excited about my trip♪ The hotel is new, so the facilities and specifications are modern. You have to carry your luggage yourself, and there is no stiff greeting from the landlady (this is a good thing, including during meals), and the young staff only give the bare minimum of guidance, without excessive service. Perhaps because check-in is in two shifts, the building and baths were not too crowded considering the number of rooms, so I was able to use them at my own pace. The breakfast and lobby were both nicely empty, probably due to the shifting hours, so I was able to spend my time there without any stress. The fact that the room had a coffee mill was also a plus😍 One of the joys of traveling is spending time differently than you normally would✨ And above all, this time I was on a last minute trip with the National Travel Support, and used a package tour with JR, so I ended up staying for about 10,000 yen, so I almost felt bad💦 #Accommodation #Hotspring #Hotspringryokan #Nasu-Shiobara #Roomwithopen-airbath #NationalTravelSupport #NewOpening #Staycation Address: 1340-3 Shiobara Shionoyu, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, 329-2921 Atmosphere/Facilities: Casual and smart Recommended points: All rooms have open-air baths Average price: ¥30,000 (normal price for 2 people per room) Rating: Google review 4.3

A stylish building NOTE NASU, where you can reach by walking through the comfortable forest of Nasu Kogen with its crimson-colored forest, clear air, and chirping birds. With a sophisticated interior and a view of the forest of Nasu Kogen outside the window, you can feel the forest of Nasu Kogen even from inside your room. You can enjoy breakfast made with seasonal local ingredients at your favorite spot while looking at the forest. The breakfast, packed in a lovely picnic box, not only looked good, but also smelled so good that I couldn't help but get hungry the moment I opened it, and I was extremely happy from the morning. Dinner was also full of fragrant meals. The theme was camping indoors 🏕. With the concept of being able to relax and enjoy yourself, the carefully selected dishes made with seasonal vegetables, local rice and meat were served, and I felt tipsy and in the best mood. #Accommodation #Autumn leaves #Gourmet trip #Art hotel #Luxury hotel

I went to "1988 CAFE SHOZO", the starting point of SHOZO street, a trending new spot in Nasu-Shiobara 😋☕️ This is the main store of a famous cafe that also has a shop in Tokyo. As the name suggests, it started in 1988 when Shozo-san opened a cafe on the second floor of an apartment here, and it is said that it came to be called SHOZO street because the increasing number of immigrants in recent years have started stylish restaurants and general stores. The interior of the store seems to be divided into several design themes, and we sat in an area lined with colorful furniture. There is also another area with a chic atmosphere based on brown. The scones were delicious! 📍6-6 Takasago-cho, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture #cafe #Nasu-Shiobara #trip2022
