Morino Hotel

這飯店在深山，名字就是"森林的飯店"，離山下有三公里的距離，而且附近也幾乎沒有幾家餐廳，晚上有營業的就幾乎沒有。飯店本身的餐廳只提供預訂的壽喜燒套餐，沒有預定就無法提供餐點。後來找到一家距離飯店八公里的中華料理餐廳"喜多郎"，勤奮的老闆，幾乎可以說是天天都營業，晚上還供餐到十點鐘，住這家飯店真的需要這個餐飲建議。這飯店的附近景點都很不錯，除了歷史街道之外，推薦"寢覺之床"跟"阿寺溪谷"，就以自然美景來說，真是無可取代，只是實在原始了點，建議千萬穿運動鞋去攀爬。飯店本身有大浴場，但是其實就是一個大浴池而已，三溫暖式的設備是沒有的。不算新的飯店，但是保養得很好，所有的設備都不顯得破舊，房間也大，住起來挺舒適的

We found this hotel when looking for somewhere to stay close to the mountains and the hiking trails along Old Nakasendo, such as Magome to Tsumago and the Torii pass. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, although the interior feels a bit outdated. The lobby offered comfortable seats to relax together, some board games, and a machine with free hot and cold drinks. Both dinner and breakfast was included and served as a Japanes style multi course menu. This was a wonderful experience and something we really enjoyed! Our host was very helpful by introducing the dishes and explaining how and in what order to eat them. We also enjoyed the complimentary hot baths, which work similar to every other onsen we visited in Japan. This was a great way to relax in the afternoon after the hike. The hotel is a 15 minute drive from Kiso-Fukushima station (where all local and express trains stop). The complimentary hotel shuttle bus made it easy to get to the station in the morning and back to the hotel in the afternoon. If you already have your hiking boots on, it is also possible to walk to the hotel via a beautiful scenic road from the local train station Harano in around 60 minutes. The hotel staff was great, very friendly, and doing everything to make our stay comfortable despite not everyone being fluent in English. For example, on our way to the station the shuttle bus driver noticed that there was a youth sumo wrestling competition held in a large tent along the road, and stopped for a few minutes to give us a chance to enjoy it.
