    [Awanoyu Kaiseki]《Choice of stone grilled dishes for main dish》 [Breakfast] [Dinner]

    A ``white hot spring'' with gentle bubbles that constantly pours out. This is a basic plan where you can enjoy "Awanoyu Kaiseki" full of carefully selected and nutritious food. ■Meal■ Both dinner and breakfast will be served at the restaurant. [Dinner] A 14-course kaiseki meal that incorporates not only nourishing mountain ingredients but also seafood. We offer the Awanoyu Kaiseki "Shinano Course". Please enjoy unique dishes such as salt-grilled clear-water fish that is chewy to the bone. *Selectable stone grilled dishes (can be selected by each person) You can choose the stone-grilled meat from ``marbled Japanese black beef'' or ``vitamin-rich Japanese pork mochibuta''. *If you would like to change from Japanese beef to Japanese pork when making a reservation, please let us know. [Breakfast] In addition to the stomach-friendly hot spring porridge made from the bubble water source, there are several other items on offer. There is also a free drink corner with drinks such as Azumino Yogurt and Takahara Milk. ■Hot spring■ The men's and women's indoor baths, private open-air baths, and mixed-gender open-air baths are all open from 3:00 PM to 10:00 AM the following day. For female guests in the mixed open-air bath, bathing clothes are provided, so you can bathe with peace of mind. [Open-air bath where you can enjoy the autumn leaves] In October, the best time to see the autumn leaves. You can enjoy the luxurious open-air bath with autumn leaves while looking at the autumn leaves turning red and yellow. [Q&A] What is the origin of the name Awa no Yu? Among the many hot springs, sulfur springs containing carbon dioxide gas at around 38 degrees Celsius are said to be especially rare. Awa-no-yu's ``nuru-yu'' name came from the fact that the gas it contains forms bubbles that stick to the body. ■Surrounding tourist information■ National Treasure Matsumoto Castle, castle town tour, and enjoy Shinshu soba - about 60 minutes by car Experience waterfalls and trekking at Norikura Highlands (about 15 minutes by car) Panoramic view of the Northern Alps on the Shinhotaka Ropeway, about 60 minutes by car We look forward to your visit. 【Traveling alone】
