野沢温泉シリーズ＃３： ペンションシュネー。
山菜狩りツアーを紹介しました。
採ってきた山菜を調理してくれる宿を紹介しました。
お風呂は以前に紹介しました常磐屋旅館の伝説の千人風呂に入りました。
後は紹介したいのは、今回に昼ごはんにお世話になったペンシオンシュネーです。
お店の造りはログハウス？日本古民家？
インテリアーはステインドグラスで洋風？標縄で純和風？
場所は野沢温泉の毛無山の麓でお店は花ががふんだんに飾っているけど山はその延長？
スタッフとお料理は若手の情熱で溢れる…
幻なお店。
野沢温泉への旅の際、昼食でもペンションシュネーへ是非にどうぞ。
#3 in this Nozawa Onsen series: Pension Schnee.
So far I've mentioned a fascinating sansai gathering tour,
and introduced an inn that offers to prepare the sansai you picked and serve it to you for your dinner.
During my recent trip to Nozawa Onsen, of course I took the time for a bath in Nozawa's legendary onsen water. I've mentioned Tokiwaya Ryokan's famous "1000-person Bath" in the past, and this trip I finally got a chance to bathe in it.
But there is one more place I would like to introduce: the magical Pension Schnee.
We went to Pension Schnee for lunch. The building is part western with log house and Bavarian Alps accents, but has Japanese 'Kominka' classic farmhouse features, too. The interior is also a blend of Western (beautiful stained glass) and Japanese (Shinto 'shimenawa' ropes). The hotel has a plethora of flowers in their planter boxes and entrance way, which seemlessly blend with Nozawa's ski slopes stretching up Mt. Kenashi. The staff and the cooking reflects the enthusiasm of their youthfulness.
All in all, a magical place.
On your trip to Nozawa Onsen, I highly recommend a stop at Schnee!
