30th July
Rainy season “Tsuyu” has finished yesterday, And the summer has come.
It is very nice season to go trekking to Japan alps mountains, and enjoy rural view.
The height around here is about 500m above sea level, so 2-3℃ cooler than sea level area.
We are looking forward to meeting you, here Azumino !
Lavender in the garden is now bloomed.
All guests who visit here from today until 6th July will get mini lavender bouquet!
Enjoy natural fragrance.
I met the “messenger of spring” in the guesthouse garden.
The air temperature becomes warmer , day by day.
I think cherry blossoms around here will be bloomed in this weekend.
Even if you missed cherry watching (Hanami) in Tokyo,
You still have chance to enjoy it around here! Come on!
Happy new year!
I am waiting your visiting here, cool-beauty Azumino!
Though Azumino is very cold in winter, you must be impressed with the view of all snow covered mountains.
