Around Kumeji Gorge × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

This was my third stay at a Mercure, and a repeat visit to Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa. Last time we booked a breakfast-only plan, and each family member happily piled their plates with their favorites, saying how delicious everything was. This time we chose the plan with both breakfast and dinner. Dinner had a different feel from breakfast and was very tasty. We were also happy about the all-you-can-eat Shine Muscat grapes. For breakfast, I remember being able to choose from about three types of miso last time, but this time there was just one prepared miso soup. Still, there were so many great options that even after two nights we couldn’t try everything we wanted. We even said as a family that we’d like to stay for about a week. We’ll definitely be back again—thank you in advance.

At night, we could see a beautiful moon and stars from the open-air bath, and in the morning we enjoyed views of the Northern Alps mountain range—overall, we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen. With plenty of greenery around, it’s a place I’d like to visit during a long holiday. As for the Facility and breakfast, they felt average—neither particularly good nor bad.

This Accommodation is attached to a roadside station. There are Rooms in the main building, and there are also trailer houses behind it; one of the four units allows guests with dogs. It seems you can enjoy BBQ except during the winter season. The reception staff’s kindness and smiles were especially memorable. There were no dog amenities in the Room. Since it is a dog-friendly Accommodation, I didn’t expect too much, but it was kept very clean—by far the cleanest dog-friendly place I’ve stayed at so far. The Room even had an open-air bath and underfloor heating, so we were very comfortable. We could also use the on-site bathing Facility for free. The bath with Hokutolite warmed me through to the core, and it was well cleaned too. There were quite a few day-use visitors as well, which shows how popular it is. We didn’t eat here this time, but dinner seems to be available at the dining hall from 5:00 PM. I’d like to try it next time. Done! Thank you very much.
