I announce!!! My favorite hotel in Nagano has appeared...

Is there anything more pleasant than playing in the snow ❄️ while soaking in a hot spring? It was snowing heavily on the day I arrived, and the hotel shuttle bus was waiting for me at the station. The next morning, the same bus took me to see the monkeys 🐒 soaking in the hot springs. They even left a phone number so that the local coffee shop could call for the return trip. Ten minutes later, the bus 🚌 came to pick me up again and finally dropped me off at the station. The hotel still retains many tables and chairs 🪑 from the last century. I stayed for one night with two meals included, enjoying the local clay pot cuisine. Shibu Onsen is a hot spring town, and guests receive a wooden plaque to visit the town's 9 traditional hot springs, which is a unique tourist experience. There are many interesting shops in the hot spring town where you can take a leisurely stroll. Occasionally, you might even encounter some monkeys 🐒, but remember not to feed them!
