    信州高山温泉郷の、山田温泉大湯の向かいにある、観光案内所。外に足湯があり、中は観光案内所があり、地域のものを販売しています。このあたりは、たくさんの温泉地があり、温泉めぐりが楽しめるところですが、情報発信や湯巡り手形のようなものもなく、訪問しずらいところです。こちらの場所がそういう役割を担っていただけることを期待したいです。

    1月に訪問。街道沿いにあり、看板が目立ったので入ってみた。平日だったせいもあるが、だれもお客のいないがらんとした店内。お蕎麦はやっていなかった。お土産も多少はあったがあまり目をひかなかった。奥の方に骨董がたくさんあり、見て回ると面白かった。このお店、混むことがあるのかと正直思った。

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
