Experience of the stay
This hot spring inn offers a variety of hot spring facilities where you can relax amid rich natural scenery.
The outdoor baths and large public bath are spacious, allowing you to enjoy different atmospheres depending on the bath, such as by the river or in a garden.
Especially appealing is the riverside outdoor bath, where you can unwind while feeling close to nature.
There are also private baths available for those who want to cherish their private time.
This is an ideal place for those who want to forget their daily routine and refresh both their mind and body in a quiet environment.
Moreover, the facility is equipped with various amusements suitable for all ages, including a kids' park, karaoke, table tennis, a game corner, and a relaxation room.
In the spacious relaxation room resembling a forest 🌳, you can enjoy reading 📖 or relaxing in massage chairs.
During my recent stay over the New Year 🎍, I was very moved to see a performance by the Yatsugatake Senzu Taiko in the lobby before dinner.
I was also impressed by the kimono reception at check-in.
The buffet featuring around 70 types of dishes using ingredients from Nagano Prefecture is among the best I've experienced in all the hot springs and inns I've visited nationwide. The areas are divided into Japanese food, Western dishes, sweets, and soft drinks; I particularly enjoyed the freshly made sushi 🍣 and tempura 🍤.
Furthermore, we could relax as a family in a room where we could enjoy the seasons of Tateshina from the window.
Experiences during the trip
Just a 10-minute drive from Takino-yu, there is a shop called Tateshina Free Farm where you can buy fresh vegetables, fruits, and souvenirs such as sweets.
We purchased yam and Shinshu miso among other things.
Additionally, there is a bakery 🍞 nearby which offers a wide variety at affordable prices around ¥200, and we were very satisfied with the deliciousness.
