Hishino Onsen Tokiwakan

The location is good, the environment is good, the Japanese-style 2⃣️ breakfast is very good, it is a hotel worth recommending. I have been there once during the summer vacation, and I went there again with my friends this time. The open-air hot spring on the top is very unique, and you have to take the cable car to go up.

10-12 minutes drive from Komoro Station. It is recommended to call the hotel front desk first to book a car pick-up. The hotel is clean and the customer service is good. Children will be happy to go there. The hot spring is nice. The only downside is that there are no other shops nearby. Overall, the price/performance ratio is high.

I drove the trolley train myself and went to the observatory bath. There is also a cafe at the top where you can drink beer after taking a bath. トロッコを運転して、山頂露天風呂まで行ける。 山頂のカフェで、ビールが飲める。呑んべいには嬉しい環境。

After visiting the Tomioka Silk Mill, I went to Komoro and Hishino Onsen and stayed there. After getting off the Komoro IC and driving along the mountain road for about 10 minutes, you will see a large inn. The big cherry blossoms at the entrance are in full bloom, but the place is lonely. No one comes out even if the car is placed next to the entrance. There is no one in the lobby either. When I pressed the doorbell, the staff finally appeared from the back of the reception. After checking in, enter the Western-style room on the top floor and head straight to the open-air bath. There is an open-air bath "Kumosuke no Yu" at the end of a steep slope by a small mountain train from the main building. After soaking in the slightly lukewarm water, I enjoyed the panoramic view of Mt. Yatsugatake, Tateshina, Okuchichibu, and Sakudaira in early spring. There is also a road leading up to the bath, and it seems that it can also be used as a day trip bath. Dinner is at the in-house restaurant "Fuwariya". The dish is the "spring mountain vegetable kaiseki meal + Shinshu beef steak" course. All of the menus using seasonal wild vegetables were delicious and tailored to make the most of the ingredients. Perhaps because it was the weekday of the corona wreck, there were only two groups of guests other than us in the hotel. Hotel staff is very small. There's no way it's going to be three Cs, but it seems that the hotel's management situation is tough, and I can't feel better.
