    乳頭温泉は標高が高いので、秋田空港に着いた時は雪見風呂はできないと思いきや、休暇村の少し出前で景色が一変。ぶなの森が一面の雪景色でした。露天風呂でさらさらと降りしきる粉雪を見上げながら、暖かい温泉を堪能しました。ホテルを拠点に近くの秘湯温泉を立ち寄り湯で楽しめます。休暇村はコロナ対策もばっちりで、ビュッフェは各テーブルにビニール手袋が配られ、使用後のテーブルはスタッフの皆さんがこまめに消毒、安心し...

    Akita Odate-shi Onaricho 1-13-1

    秋田犬を前面に出し、大館を売り込む姿は好感が持てるのですが、同館にある売店の商品の値段が観光客をターゲットにしているのか値段が高すぎます。購入した『比内地鶏のおつまみセット(?)』は、少量のおつまみが4袋箱入りで2,500円とチョット納得できない値段でした。支援でクーポンが余ったため購入したのですが…、もう決して買いません。珍しい比内鶏なのかも知れませんが、突飛すぎます。地元の親戚も『値段間違えて...

    2020年の頭に生まれた2匹のこぐま、ひかりとあかりに会いたくて行きました。外遊びの時間が決まっているので、まずはその時間をチェックするのをお勧めします。もー、可愛すぎます。大きなクマたちには、餌を買って投げてあげましょう。ダイレクトキャッチしてくれるクマもいて最高に可愛いです。 ツキノワグマより大きいヒグマもたくさんいますよ!

    2才の息子と、私の両親とお伺いしました。実は3度目の正直でやっと乗船できました。1度目は去年の11月、もう期間が終わってしまっていて、2度目は先月、波が高くて欠航、3度目の昨日はお天気も良く、波も穏やかで水も澄んでいました。事前にお電話するといいと思います。 期間は4月から10月末まで、遊覧船なので波は1メートル以下の日に運航するそうです。 息子が操縦が気になってたようで、操縦席を覗きに行くと...
