    レストランで昼食中、雷雨に見舞われ食後も動けずにいたら、スタッフの方からこちらへどうぞとパン屋さんの隣にある喫茶コーナーへ案内され、雨宿り継続。食後のコーヒーでも飲もうかと券売機でチケットを買おうと思ったら、コーヒーが買えなかったので、雨宿りだけさせて貰った。

    レンタサイクル借りてこちらへ。近くまで来ているのに栗林に囲まれて15分ほど迷子。 ここは自家栽培の栗だけ使用と聞いてどうしても来たかった。自宅用に栗ペーストと茶巾絞りの空蝉。お土産に栗鹿の子とペースト。 空蝉は栗そのもの、お茶を飲むのももったいない、口の中の栗を楽しんでいたい。 栗鹿の子も自宅用に買えば良かった。

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.
