Experience of the stay
I stayed here last time and the breakfast was so good that I couldn't resist coming back for another round, taking a train journey of just over three hours one way.
What I'm aiming for is miso soup, garlic chives with a dressing, French toast, and soft serve ice cream.
Of course, everything else is also delicious, but I can't eat that much, so I've prioritized my choices.
I even extended my checkout (for a fee, of course) and taking a café latte back to my room to relax is the best!
Experiences during the trip
Walking from the JR station to the hotel takes quite a bit of time, and it was a bit tough in the heat, but there were several shops I wanted to stop by along the way, so I pushed through the walk.
I visited my favorite long-established tea shop, a tiny supermarket popular with foreigners, and a dumpling shop that is open late at night.
The tea shop had a wonderful owner and young master who were both very nice, and I was impressed by the tastings.
I always get a lot of delicious tea leaves as souvenirs.
Utsunomiya also has a lot of fun coffee shops, and this time I tried a tasting set and a summer strawberry roll cake from Otani.
Next time, I want to challenge myself to try Utsunomiya-style yakiniku (grilled meat).
