Hotel Kajima No Mori

The building is low enough to not ruin the lush greenery, and the twin rooms we used have a quiet and calm atmosphere throughout the hotel combined with the spacious space, so the guests are older. The lighting in the rooms is also easy to use, and the rooms, which tend to be hotels, are not too dark to use. The fridge is weak and doesn't have a freezing function, but if you leave things that need freezing at the front desk, they will freeze it and give it to you at checkout. The hotel is reasonably priced but the satisfaction is high.

In December last year, I stayed overnight in the Deluxe Twin (36 m2) on the ground floor. It was a single use for work related purposes. I'm not sure what I remember of my first stay, but I think it was around 1985, Since then, I have used it several times, both for accommodation and at the cafeteria. It's an old story. I guess it was late August 1970, and my parents had visited a friend's vacation home (the former Karu Izawa) and stay there with the parents, after the parents have lunch at Mikasa Hotel. As I was about to return to Tokyo, I drove to Mikasa Hotel in a private car in the drizzle, and from the entrance at the time, I was able to book As I went along the gravel road to the side of the building, an employee came out of the hotel building carrying an umbrella ", "I'm very sorry, but the museum is closed..." And my parents are like, uh?! and It was. I think it's like they said it was over last week. Officially, Mikasa Hotel seems to be out of business in October of the current year, so I call it the end of August. It is incongruous that it is not consistent with my memory, but general business has already been suspended at that time It may just be. At that time, my parents turned around and headed to Kashima Hakomori Rodge. The Rodge is a (as I recall) brown painted wooden building with a covered open terrace I did. It seemed full, but I waited a little bit and sat down, and I tasted (beef) curry rice I did. Later, the wooden "Rodge" was dismantled, and in 1977, a new "Hotel Kashima" was built. The forest was constructed. As you can see now, the hotel building is a low-rise two-story building that seems to sink into the "forest", and is located behind the entrance. It extends in a wild geese style. Although there are some additions, the impression of the first stay around 1985 has changed completely even now. However, on reflection, it is 47 years old as a building, so it is quite old. If it is a normal operating hotel, it is long past its usefulness and will be dismantled and renewed due to the appearance and interior deterioration However, there is almost no sign of deterioration. There's a magic to be said. Will there be any such thing? As the owner is only Kashima Gumi (construction), the construction quality and accuracy in the first place is the top level We have been carrying out ideal maintenance in the harsh climatic conditions of Karuizawa. This is probably the actual appearance of the There are quite a few hotels and inns in Japan that are owned by construction companies, but here are some of them. I don't think there's anywhere else that's executing tenance. Moreover, the museum was closed for eight months from November to July 2020 in order to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic. and is undergoing renovation work. After reopening in July, the rest of the hotel was progressively renewed, and all rooms were completed within the previous fiscal year. Now, the recent trendy layout in hotel and ryokan accommodation rooms in Japan is unique to Japan. Excluding the guest room hot spring indoor bath and guest room open-air bath, ①Separate bathroom and toilet (toilet basin) ② There is a washing area in the bathroom (iii) There is a shower in the bathroom washroom ④ Rain shower is also available in the bathroom washroom shower in addition to the hand shower. 　Lucky. ⑤ Dry (mist) sauna included in bathroom That was the main point. In the case of the museum, since it is a frame completed in 1977, there is a limit to the layout change of the guest room Basically, all rooms are realizing (1)! Only the "Royal Suite" (4 rooms) has (1) + (2) + (3) + (4). Bathrooms before the renovation were designed for luxury hotels, with water supply and drainage and hot water facilities of so-called unit bath assembly, the bathtub was also a short inner diameter specification, but will be renewed this time I did. In the first place, the rooms at <Hotel>, which are based on Western lifestyles, have flights in the bathroom. It was designed as an extension of the Western apartment (townhouse) style in which vessels are common. It is still basic. The same is true for substantial luxury hotels, except for a few luxury suites. That is the difference from the Japanese way of life, that gradually there is inevitably a toilet bowl next to the tub I feel uncomfortable with this. Moreover, when Japanese people use hotels in Japan, they use the same room with acquaintances who are not family members. There are many patterns, and in that case, if one person takes a bath, even if another person wants to use the toilet, There will be an inconvenience of not being able to enter. In addition, when bathing, it is troublesome to fill each person's hot water in the Western bath, and again, I want to wash my feet outside. That said, gradually Japanese people will find that staying in a Western-style hotel in Japan is different from everyday life in Japan. Until now, I have had the pleasure of being able to spend time with tiles. When Hotel Europe was opened in Huis Ten Bosch, Sasebo, that baslu I remember how shocking it was to learn that Mu had a washroom. ＜What kind of washing place is based on a real hotel in the Netherlands but not supposed to be in the original? Something like a Japanese ryokan? > I was skeptical. But now, Then, it was pioneering. Anyway, the bathroom, which was previously compacted, now takes up a lot of space The current situation is that it is becoming widespread to Now, I feel that this renovation of the hotel's guest rooms is a great example. Bathrooms are the finest size like European Grand Hotels with only basic (1) renewal We do not use Riseki, but the finished quality is first class in Europe and America, and we maintain cleanliness It conveys my extraordinary determination to do this. Although there are no prominent devices in the living room and bedroom, they are also organized with stately standard facilities that do not have excess or deficiency. has been. It is recommended that you stay in a room with a balcony on the second floor by the Unba River, but it is expensive. Even on the same river side, the first floor room is behind the eaves of the second floor, there is no balcony and there is a sense of closure, so it is subordinate to the second floor room We do, but instead the fees are kept down. The remote mountain (parking) side, especially the double bedroom, is all facing the old golf street so you can enjoy yourself The noise of moving vehicles may be disturbing. Well, there are many regrets about using the cafeteria. The main dining room of the museum, the Continental Room, was served at the breakfast table for many years. Before I knew it, I had changed my cloth napkin to a fluttering paper napkin. (And by day.) It's a cheap thing you can't find in a first-class resort hotel in the West. (That's enough to make it second-rate.) Interestingly, when you walk into the store, all the customers are sitting in a row facing the window. Su. If you want to look at the view outside, you can tell, but in fact, this main dining room faces east, and in the morning, there is daylight. It was closed with a lace curtain as it received a direct shot from the customer, who glared at it I will spend my time in this state. The scenery is almost invisible. Meanwhile, at dinner, it's pitch black outside. so now you can see the bright interior in the window glass, which means that you can enjoy your meal while you You will be staring at your face and figure. Typical landscape in a Japanese hotel or restaurant But it is still strange. Also, the exact time is unknown, but around 2016, suddenly, including breakfast, we served There was a drastic change in bread. Surprised by the drop in quality, I invited the manager to ask But the company said it had switched to frozen bread manufactured by a frozen goods supplier in Gunma Prefecture. In fact, this was happening at the same time at the nearby Mampei Hotel, and the hotel's Even Karuizawa Prince Hotel, which operates a homemade bakery as a division, offers homemade rai. I had started mixing some of that frozen bread into my nnap. In other words, the main hotels in Karuizawa are, as I said, frozen pan-ompas all at once. It flooded into the raed. It's really a world of <all the red lights...> 　※ However, after this major renovation and opening, the Manping Hotel will be one of the best in the frozen bread 　　Frozen croissants, which had a strong stench of buttery fat and oil, are no longer available, and breakfast is sold 　　home with bread for toast that we hope to spotlight in the future as objects 　　I switched to making. On the other hand, there's something wonderful about the Continental Room. It is to create a certain standard of French-style Western cuisine, not only for course meals, but also for à la Ca This is what we continue to offer in Lut Response. Sure, it's not a trendy dish, but it's a good presentation to fool you It's not a dish that lacks substance. In the first place, summer resorts like Karuizawa are resorts that are designed for long-term stays, so it is recommended to use the New It's not a place to serve food that's strange or excessively gastronomic, but high quality. It is a place that is calm and based on classic dishes. And à la Carte is free to offer a range of options to keep consecutive guests occupied It's something you have to have a degree of. In Karuizawa, the hotel that serves this standard of food in this correspondence is now no other. Mm. That said, I go back to regret again, but it has become easy though high quality There is a part. For example, 'tongue-flat Muniel charred butter sauce' and 'tongue-flat western sake steamed gratin'. I use the flat eyes of my tongue. In particular, the "muniel" is based on a single grilled tail with bones. On top of that, if the customer requests It should be served bone-free (in the kitchen/tableside). That's because the taste comes out of the bone area and the whole dish works. However, even if you ask in advance, "you can't be boned." In other words, the tongue flatness can be cut by the processor beforehand, such as by jet water flow (not skipped We purchase vacuum packs for each portion per person, and Kashima ﾉThe cooks of the forest themselves said they had never seen the bones, let alone touched them. It also seems to be an unfortunate reality. These two tongue-in-cheek dishes, as well as the Hotel Okura Beef Stroganoff and Consomméssou Since "Pu" is a signature dish of Hotel Kashima Kashima Mori Shushokudo <Traditional>, I hope they treat it a little more carefully and appeal to customers. Finally, the museum's parking is easy. Open-air flat in front of the entrance, no gates, old Golf Street You can enter and exit the building as is. Of course, it is a place that is always directly (checked) from the front desk and the accommodation office, so e No one other than the Tel user can "break in". Guests have their vehicle number declared on arrival. As mentioned above, the famous long-established "Manpei Hotel" has received substantial new Having been transformed into something alien by the construction, people who do not own a second home in the former Karuizawa are able to enjoy high-quality Hotel Kashima Hatomori is now the only place where you can enjoy the calm atmosphere of <Kyu Karuizawa>. I did. unflashy, unprotruding, not originally a spa, inconspicuous, so Because it is expensive to be there, Hotel Kashima Hatomori is shunned and won, but the above difficulties weave as a disadvantage Please try to stay here once you have made it all the way.

Overnight at the Ara kan Sisters. It was a lovely hotel, as you can all see. The lobby with the front desk is somewhat simple, and at first, what? The interior was well-cleaned and spacious enough, and the windows offered a panoramic view of the garden. It was a quiet season when the autumn colors were almost over, but I was able to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature. I was also impressed by the attention paid to each and every amenity, and the cosmetic set with makeup removal was especially appreciated by women. I also like the fact that breakfast in the restaurant is served individually, rather than at the buffet. Anyway, the customer base is good. The restaurant was almost full, but everyone had such a quiet voice that we couldn't tell if there was a seat next to us. Most of them looked like a senior couple. No wonder there are so many repeat customers over the years. The staff are also attentive and comfortable with the constant service. One unfortunate thing about the facilities is that there are no public baths. Nowadays, it's only natural that resort hotels have spas. Even though hot springs are difficult, boiling water is fine, so having a large bath (preferably an open-air bath facing the garden) makes me feel even more relaxed. That said, overall, it was a calm and comfortable hotel, as expected from the Okura group. If I get the chance, I'd like to visit next time it's fresh green season.
