Experience of the stay
This time, I arrived at Kameinoi Hotel Shiobara in Nasushiobara City via HafH.
It is located along the Hokikawa River valley, which carves through the mountains to the northwest of the Nasu area in northern Tochigi Prefecture.
Surrounded by mountains at an elevation of about 1000 meters, this hotel allows you to enjoy a natural hot spring with a history of about 1200 years.
The highlight of this accommodation is definitely the hot spring.
You can enjoy the natural hot spring (named Shio-no-Yu Onsen) flowing freely.
Kameinoi Hotel is a hotel that has been rebranded by MyStays Hotels after acquiring Kanpo no Yado.
So, you can expect the atmosphere and service to be similar to Kanpo no Yado.
The room is a Japanese-style twin without meals.
While Kameinoi Hotel usually offers plans with two meals (breakfast and dinner), unfortunately, this hotel did not have a meal plan.
The room is not particularly new, but some maintenance has been done since the rebranding, so there were no significant discomforts.
Each floor has a water server installed, so you can fill your water there for consumption in your room.
For dinner, since there was no plan, I made a reservation at "Shiobara's Sunshine Restaurant Grill Mikasa," which is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
It's a restaurant located in a resort mansion built during the bubble economy period, and the manager, who inherited the business, seems to manage it mostly by himself.
I enjoyed delicious dishes made from local ingredients.
After returning to the hotel, I indulged in the free service of "Hell Tour Night Crying Dan Dan Noodles."
As a complimentary service at Kameinoi Hotel, you can enjoy mini Dan Dan noodles.
They offer a portion that is manageable even after having dinner, so please give it a try!
Experiences during the trip
There are many tourist spots in Nasushiobara, but if you want to explore the city, renting a car is recommended for ease of transportation.
There are plenty of rental car shops near the station, so it seems unlikely you'll have trouble finding a car.
During my trip to Nasushiobara, I visited:
"Tagawa Keiji Art Museum," "Emperor's Room Memorial Park," "Momiji Valley Great Suspension Bridge," and "Nasushiobara Flower World," among others.
I also wanted to visit the Nasu Stained Glass Museum, but unfortunately, I didn't have enough time...
Additionally, there's a local gourmet dish called "soup-style yakisoba," which was surprisingly delicious! The tangy soup with sauce has a unique taste that makes it quite addictive, and it's different from ramen.
If you ever visit Nasushiobara, be sure to try this soup-style yakisoba at least once!
