Experience of the stay
お部屋もゆったりと広くベッドがふかふかでよく眠れました♡ソファと冷蔵庫、テーブルもお部屋でくつろぐには便利だった！！
お部屋の窓に対して壁いっぱいのカーテンのおかげで暗さがキープできてぐっすり睡眠が取れました♡朝はお茶処らしく霧も出て散歩が気持ちよかったです♪♪
入口オープンの洗面があるのも便利
ミラーもぐるぐるできて洗面台の机上スペースも広くてシャワーの時にも便利だった！！
壁になる仕切りも付いてるのでお友達同士でも安心です。
キッチンにはコーヒーとお湯が常備されておりお茶をたくさんいただきました♡
買ってきたものをお部屋で食べたのでキッチンに置いてあった粉末のお味噌汁がありがたい！！
トースター、レンジ、氷も完備で嬉しいですね。
ラウンジもローカリティにまつわるアートが配されて見て回るのも面白かった。また別の所に行ったらチェックしたい！！
使いやすく快適に広々とデザインされていてすごく好印象でした♪♪
朝ご飯は隣の道の駅でも茶粥などいただけますが私はお部屋でお茶スイーツトリオ(村ちゃプリン、お茶のどら焼き、塩茶大福)を楽しみました！！
Experiences during the trip
A tea lover's paradise! Sweets and foods all centered around tea!! If you love tea and roadside stations, this place is a true delight.
The roadside station is packed with local and nearby delicious treats, and I ended up buying various souvenirs. It boasts being the nearest roadside station to the tea fields, and the view of the tea fields right in front was stunning. In the morning, there was mist, and the temperature difference made me realize how perfect it is for tea cultivation.
Although crowded, there are many benches outside, making it perfect for a cozy snack break.
I tried the famous thick tea soft serve and both matcha and hojicha dumplings. They were rich, slightly bitter, and the dumplings were chewy and delicious.
There were many varieties of locally produced tea, and I purchased some while figuring things out based on pop-up descriptions and my intuition. There was also a lot of Japanese black tea available.
I immediately brewed some tea in my hotel room using cold brewing methods. It was sweet, aromatic, and delicious!!
Fresh rice, freshly picked vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, miso, dressings, and more—cooking was one of the joys of the trip.
For roadside station lovers, it's truly a treasure trove. I'm also looking forward to using the delicious soy sauce, miso, and dressings that are well-rated.
Since it was a holiday, there were quite a few customers by the opening time of 9am, and everyone was buying baskets full of fresh vegetables and local specialties.
The popular local bread from that morning sold out quickly. Be sure to get there early!!
The facility is next to the hotel, so it was convenient to go straight there without missing the bus ride.
I had fried chicken marinated in village vegetables with fresh rice at the dining hall (normally it's tea rice)!! It was delicious! The village curry and tea soba also looked tasty.
Transportation was easy, with one local train every hour from the nearest station. As long as you keep an eye on the time, it's all good.
After changing to a one-car train, it was a fun ride winding between mountains and rivers.
It was a bit uneven from the nearest Tsukigaseguchi Station, but seeing the hotel in sight was reassuring; it's nice that you can walk to the hotel! It was also comforting to travel alone by train!!
If you don't have a car, it can be challenging to see the surrounding sights as you go round and round in the mountains, but I was still very satisfied with the thorough exploration of the roadside station, enjoying films in the hotel, and relaxing in the fluffy bed.
The next day, I moved to Nara for lunch before heading back home. It was a deeply satisfying journey filled with tea!!!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
