Weekend in Yatsugatake Resort

Since we were busy with the opening of Boutique Motai, we went to the mountain house this week-end for the first time in 2006. I have been visiting Yatsugatake resort area often for more than 20 years. As I love this area so much, we are featuring Yatsugatake area as the special recommendation in our website (Japanese local hospitality section).

We thought we missed cherry blossoms this year but they were in full bloom now. Lucky us, usually we can view cherry blossoms three times every year. First in Tokyo, second in Kiyosato area, third in our mountain house area!! Even we missed the Kiyosato cherry blossoms this year, we could enjoy cherry blossoms when we walked in the morning.

We left on Friday night after the shop closed at 8:00p.m. and arrived in our mountain house before 11:00p.m. As we take Shuto Expressway from Gaien continuing to Chuo Expressway, it takes only 2 hours door to door if the traffic is empty. As we usually travel late at night or early in the morning, traffic is usually very smooth.

Whenever the weather is fine, we walk in the morning for about 1.5 hours. We can really feel the change of four seasons. We could not only view cherry blossoms but "mizu-basho" in May.

We had a relaxing morning and light breakfast as we were planning to have an Italian lunch.

Even it was a day trip this time, we enjoyed the visit to our mountain house very much! We all had a good siesta and came back on Saturday night when the traffic is very smooth. The only thing we missed from our usual routine is that we did not go to the hot spring bath (which is the end of the full course) as we had some business to do in Tokyo.
