3-Star Hotels in Minamimaki

It is a very relaxing place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking lot located right in front of the hotel. There's a big lobby With the reception desk on the right with a little souvenir shop next to it. Couches, drink station available in the lobby to hang. Many pictures on display to enjoy, about the sky at night. That's the main characteristic of the location. The night view is beautiful. In the evening, the staff takes you out to look at the stars and the milky way. They have grass area located 5 mn walk away with mats on the ground to lay. Someone is there with a microphone to explain and show the different stars. For your information, breakfast is not included in the price of the room, as it's sometimes the case. We did have breakfast, a nice Buffet selection, served from 7 until 8.30 . The room was comfortable and clean. The WiFi works very well. The downside is that the hotel smells a little old. I really liked the fact that they had a hiking/walking course right in front of the hotel. I enjoyed the longer trail in the woods.

夏の間は仕事で疲れてしまい、ようやく時間が取れた時、自然の中で一人でゆっくりしたくて選んだのがこちらのホテルです。 別荘地の森林の中にあるため、余計なノイズは全くしません。あるのは静かな客室と緑、周辺の広大な遊歩道だけ… チェックインをしたら、まずは森林の中の遊歩道を散歩し、八ヶ岳高原ヒュッテでコーヒーをいただき、外から音楽堂を眺める。 夕食をいただいた後、芝生の上で満天の星空を双眼鏡で観察。今までこんなにたくさんの星を見た事はありませんでした。 朝起きたら、朝食前に美鈴池まで散歩。 朝食はふわふわのオムレツと新鮮なお野菜とフルーツをレストランのテラスで…。 遊歩道は山の中なのにとても緩やかで、最近は首の病気でトレッキングを諦めていた私も負担なく歩くことができました。いくつかコースがあったので、今度は他のコースにも行ってみたいと楽しみが増えました。 宿泊者は上品な大人の方ばかりで、私にとってはだいぶ背伸びをした形になりましたが、心地よく気取ない雰囲気にファンが多いのかなと感じました。また行かせていただきたいです。

I chose it because it is close to the JR Railway Highest Point (1375m) and Nobeyama Observatory. I chose a meal plan because there seems to be no restaurant around. It's an old-fashioned inn. At the entrance, I changed my clothes to slippers. This summer, there are many hot days, but the temperature around Mt. Nobe, which is 1300 meters high, seems to be high. This inn is also heated, but there is no air conditioning. It was light rain when I arrived, but it was steamy and hot when I entered the room. The equipped fan was helpful. The room had a bath, but I used a bath that was not so big. If it was sunny, I could see the starry sky, but unfortunately I couldn't see it. Dinner using local materials was good. The rice came out of the rice bowl, so I ate a lot. The next morning was sunny and it was a lot cooler. I was lucky to see Yatsugatake from the room.
