Japan's deep mountains secret place did not expect that there is a kingdom of ice and snow hidden here

Although I stayed in Japan for more than 2 years, I also traveled all over the country during this period. But every time I come to Japan, I can always have a different and fresh experience😉 The new map unlocked this time is located in central Japan The secret place in the deep mountains——Okuhida👏 When it comes to this place, most people's first impression is Hida beef🐃 Wagyu beef is as famous as Kobe beef and Matsusaka beef🐃 The second is the Hirayu Onsen which has a thousand-year history♨️ It can be traced back to the Japanese Warring States Period🧐 At that time, Oda Nobunaga's army was wounded and arrived at the mountainous area of ​​Okuhida. ​Exhausted, I saw an injured monkey 🐒 jumping into the hot spring to take a bath, and found that the hot spring water here has a miraculous effect of healing wounds. So the hot springs here were developed, and now it has become a national hot spring resort in Japan😼 (the monkey was eventually made into a local mascot, with a cute name called 猿ぼぼSARUBOBO) As a southern kid, Hangzhou doesn’t see snow very often 🌨 not to mention this kind of snow that is taller than a person ☃️ Taking the train all the way into the snow country, it was like walking into a fairy tale of ice and snow. At the same time, it suddenly had the sense of déjà vu of the "Snowstorm Manor" in Kindaichi's story, which made people tremble and feel excited at the same time 🤩 The "Hirayukan" I chose is located at the 🚍Hirayu Onsen Bus Station, 300 meters walk away. The location is very easy to find and it is also a large-scale hot spring hotel in this area. As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked by the panoramic snow-covered floor-to-ceiling windows in front of me😱 The thick snow under the blue sky is like cream on a cake, the colors are beautiful like a dream, and the layered mountains in the distance give people the illusion of being in the Alps. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Japanese version of the Alps🥹 The whole museum is a historical house with a complex structure and design. There are many winding passages. It really feels like the blizzard chamber in Conan. For a mystery novel fan, there is nothing more exciting than this😝 The rooms are mainly traditional Japanese-style rooms. The kotatsu table by the window is very nice, and you can enjoy the snow scenery outside the window. Everyone was also given a "hot spring briefcase 💼" (it feels like going to work). Put on a yukata and start enjoying this hot spring trip☺️☺️ ♨️First floor🈶Indoor bath and open-air bath, men's and women's baths are rotated according to the time, probably to allow guests to experience different scenes😌The open-air bath is surrounded by cedars, and snow is falling in the sky. This is the romantic atmosphere🥹 For Japanese people, they take a bath three times a day. ✔️Before breakfast✔️Before dinner✔️Before bedtime Soak for about 2-30 minutes at a time, and drink a glass of ice milk 🥛 or juice while it’s still hot. The collision of ice and fire is extremely refreshing 😝 Their restaurant is all buffet style, with unlimited local specialties of Hida steak 🥩 and Sukiyaki 🍲. We found a snowy view seat to enjoy the snow while eating hot pot. It was a bit too beautiful to be real 😋
