Here are some photos of breakfast at Kawarayu Onsen Yamakikan in Gunma and the inside of the building that I couldn't include! This is the last post about Yamakikan for now!!!! 〜〜〜〜 🌰Breakfast 〜〜〜〜 You can eat the traditional taste of "chestnut rice" that has been around since the establishment! The chestnuts were freshly cooked, and the sweetness of the chestnuts matched with the saltiness of the sesame salt, and it was very delicious! I wanted to eat so much that I wanted to have a second helping 🤤 ※If you don't like chestnut rice, you can change it to white rice! The side dishes were simmered dishes and rolled omelets, and had a gentle dashi flavor, so even though I drank too much the day before, I was able to finish it all 😂 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 🌱Various things inside the building 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 Coffee and tea in the lobby are all-you-can-drink 24 hours a day, but it was nice to be able to choose your favorite cup ☕️ Also, the geta for going out were easier to walk in than I thought! I wanted it for a yukata😂 *I didn't plan on wearing a yukata this year, so I didn't buy one, but they were selling them at the shop for 1,500 yen!!! The atmosphere inside the building, the rooms, the hot springs, the food, the service, etc. Everything was wonderful, and it was the perfect hot spring inn to relax in, so I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the city and relax!!! ---- 📍Access 🚃Limited Express Kusatsu Ueno - Naganohara Kusatsuguchi Station, about 2 hours and 15 minutes 🚃Azuma Line Naganohara Kusatsuguchi - Kawarayu Onsen Station, about 5 minutes 🚌Yamakikan Free shuttle, about 5 minutes (advance reservation required) ♨️Price 1 night for 2 people with 2 meals from 40,000 yen (20,000 yen per person) Opening hours🕰️ Check-in 15:00-18:00 Check-out ~10:00 ---- #Domestic travel #Kawarayu Onsen #Yamakikan #Breakfast #Hot spring #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #Gunma #Breakfast #Delicious inn food

Kawarayu Onsen Yamakikan in Gunma has a library that was converted from a storehouse, and you can read as many manga and novels as you want~🤤 I wanted to read Tokyo Revengers in one go, but... I read part of it, then went to the hot spring and lazed around in my room, so I ended up not being able to read the whole thing, so the next time I stay here, I'd like to stay in the library and read as much as I can🫠 There are four seats for reading on the first floor and two seats on the second floor so it's not a very large space, but The second floor in particular is like an attic, so I felt more relaxed. If you stay at Yamakikan, we recommend not only enjoying the hot springs, but also spending some time relaxing and reading books in the library✨ ---- 📍Access 🚃Limited Express Kusatsu Ueno - Naganohara Kusatsuguchi Station, about 2 hours 15 minutes 🚃Azuma Line Naganohara Kusatsuguchi - Kawarayu Onsen Station, about 5 minutes 🚌Yamakikan Free shuttle service, about 5 minutes (advance reservation required) ♨️Price 1 night for 2 people with 2 meals from 40,000 yen (From 20,000 yen per person) Opening hours🕰️ Check-in 15:00-18:00 Check-out ~10:00 ---- #Domestic travel #Kawarayu Onsen #Yamakikan #Hot spring inn #Hot spring #Library #Unlimited manga reading

I'd like to introduce the Natsuze room where I stayed at Kawarayu Onsen Yamakikan in Gunma ♨️ 〜〜〜〜〜 ♨️Room 〜〜〜〜〜 It was a one-room type, but it had a raised tatami mat (7.5 tatami mats) and a rest space (3 tatami mats) with chairs and a table, and there was a large window overlooking the garden, so it was an open room and felt larger than I expected!!! The futon was already laid out, so the staff were not allowed to enter from check-in to check-out, so I could relax. 🫠 〜〜〜 🪴Garden 〜〜〜 The garden can be seen from all rooms, and a summer hazel tree named after the room is planted, which is stylish and links to the room name!!! 〜〜〜〜〜 👘In-house wear 〜〜〜〜〜 You can choose from a colored yukata or a samue for free. I wore a yukata when I was in the building, and a samue as my nightwear.🫶 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 🍹Summer customer appreciation campaign 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 Only available in summer! You can get a free beer or juice after your bath until 9pm 🍺 I drank too much alcohol at dinner, so I had oolong tea 😂 The room was also very comfortable, so one night wasn't enough 🫠 #Travelwithme #KawarayuOnsen #Yamakikan #Onsen #OnsenInn #Gunma #GunmaTourism #OnsenTrip
