Experience of the stay
I arrived at the hotel attached to the roadside station "Utsunomiya Romantic Village!"
I have stayed at several Fairfields across the country, but this one has a surprisingly spacious lounge! There were tables, benches, and sofas, making it hard to decide where to sit. The comfort level was quite good too; I felt like I could live here (laughs).
And the joy of having freshly ground coffee waiting in the lounge! Perfect for "just one cup" when you wake up in the morning or for a "relaxing break" after dinner. This coffee is useful in various situations, I'm thankful!
Another enjoyment of this trip was the stamp rally "Fairfield Quest ~ Collecting Your GEMs ~". I got a stamp book (2,200 yen/1 book) and participated, and this day was the fifth Fairfield! So… I got a commemorative gift! It included 500 Marriott Bonvoy points and local specialty snacks and drinks!
Moreover, it seems that the more times you stay, the more luxurious the gifts become, so I'm looking forward to my next trip too!
Experiences during the trip
I strolled around the roadside station "Utsunomiya Romantic Village"!
For lunch, I had a bento made with local specialties, and then it was dessert time. While shopping, a local grandma recommended, "This dumpling is delicious~," so I didn't hesitate to get the "Kinton Mantou." It was my first time trying it, and the simple sweetness was soothing! (It's white, round, and cute)
After that, snack time continued. This time, I challenged the "Yuzu Soft" with plenty of yuzu jam! It was huge, and I was impressed by the cost performance of 550 yen. Even sharing it between two was a satisfying amount!
Moreover, there were many local specialties such as lemon snacks and drinks, craft beer, and just looking at them lifted my spirits. It's a must-visit area if you're looking to buy souvenirs!
After enjoying the stroll, I headed to the natural hot spring "Yudokoro Aguri" across the street. The open-air bath under the blue sky felt exceptionally good, and at just 510 yen per person, it was a treat! Additionally, showing the Fairfield card key got me a 10% discount. Although there weren't any towels provided, I was told that I could bring a Fairfield towel, which was very helpful.
So, I fully enjoyed Tochigi cuisine and hot springs. It's perfect as a base for Tochigi sightseeing, so be sure to visit!Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
