When you think of Azumino in Nagano, you imagine wasabi fields and rice paddies that utilize spring water and irrigation channels, blessed with beautiful water. At the roadside station, you can find a complete set of Nagano souvenirs, including seasonal fruits and vegetables, souvenirs, soba noodles, pickles, sake, and other specialty products. There were also flowers being sold outside, and they were very cheap! The parking lot is quite spacious. Although the roadside station is not very large, there is a restaurant inside.

Pay special attention to the last time of the cable car to take the cable car back to the ground around 4:30. 2. The weather on the top of the mountain is changeable. We went up there twice. The first time it rained heavily right after we went up. Once it rains, we can’t do anything and the scenery is completely different (the difference between sunny days and rainy days is completely different) 3. In winter, you need to check the official website for the business hours of Winter Seoson in advance. It may not be open. Everyone goes skiing in winter 😂

Although I have lived in a sofa, lived in a hotel, and lived in airbnb, I have never been touched like a B&B in Baima Village, Japan. This Japanese white horse Dongshan B&B has a good location and different rooms. The room is equipped with a bathtub. Although the end of March, the village of Baima is still snowy. The boss is Chinese, and Mandarin is not a problem. I recommend everyone to stay at the hotel (Japanese style), not the hotel, the hotel and the hotel are, the room of the hotel is "and style", the hotel room is "foreign style". The Japanese-style room is a tatami room with no beds, no chairs, bedding and a low table. Western-style rooms are similar to hotels in China. Because the homestay is mostly family run, I also call it home. Located in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, Hakuba is the venue for the Olympic skiing in 1998. It is located on the plateau and has a long snow period. It is suitable for those who like hot spring skiing.

Yesterday came to Japan's white horse, when the car entered the Baima boundary, the ground has accumulated a thick layer of snow, standing on the street looking out, the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance, spectacular. Walking on such a snow-covered road, I feel the ecology and cleanness of the white horse, and I am enchanted by the beauty of the big freedom. Baima is a place where the winter Olympics was held. There are many large and small B&Bs here. The best place in the village is a Chinese-born place named Baima Dongshan. It is not easy to speak Chinese. I live here to eat the wife. Hot pot, although many people in China do not know, but very cold villages, everyone must come to the ski hot springs.
