[Hotel]
・Kamikochi Hotel Shirakabaso

The on-site souvenir shop is also worth a visit.

Dinner was also delicious, with every dish carefully prepared. 🍴

It was a little scary at night because it was pitch black, but since the hotel is right in front of Kappa Bridge, we were able to enjoy a stargazing walk in peace.

There were several sudden downpours, but the hotel's proximity to the tourist attractions meant we were able to quickly evacuate, which helped us out on multiple occasions!

It's definitely a good idea to bring an umbrella!

Local guides are available for an additional fee. ◎

[Specialties]
・TROIS CINQ Apple Pie

The apples are thick and satisfying!
It's best to wait in line when the line is short. ◎

In addition to apple pie, they also sell bento boxes, but they were just as popular and sold out by the afternoon.

[Impressions]
It was the perfect summer getaway, where you wouldn't even feel the heat of Japan!

The river water was so cold I couldn't put my feet in for more than a minute...!

The appeal of this place is being able to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city, visiting places like Mt. Myojin, Taisho Pond, and Kappa Bridge.

Concerns like high accommodation costs and restrictions on private cars can be a problem, so a bus tour is also recommended!
