  • Staying at a Japanese inn with onsen is one of the best, most relaxing experiences you can do while travelling in Japan. This weekend, we visited Nagano's oldest onsen town, Bessho Onsen, to stay in a luxurious ryokan, Bessho Onsen Midoriya. It had everything! Private onsen, modern rooms and beautiful gardens - complete with delicious local izakaya nearby.

    I like the interior design of this onsen ryokan. It's traditional yet modern at the same time. I am going to decorate my house under this theme. Thank you for the video!

    Hi guys, delighted to see you engaging with your first ‘company’ for a video. It looks like a great place to stay and also an interesting town to explore.
    I had seen a couple of videos on Ueda before and it always looked like somewhere that I’d visit if I were to come to Japan. I love the castle towns, the history is always fascinating to me.
    Congratulations on signing the contract and the impending move into your new home. Very much looking forward to seeing which one you went for 😊
    Thank you for sharing this excellent video with everyone, I’m really looking forward to more of Japan away from the bigger cities. Best wishes to the two of you and have a wonderful weekend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺🇯🇵😊

      Thank you as always for your lovely comment! That's interesting to hear you've seen Ueda in a few other videos. It doesn't have as many historical sites compared to cities like Kyoto, but if visiting somewhere with a more relaxed pace and less crowds is what you're looking for, it's great!
      Best wishes to you too, have a lovely weekend! 😊

      @@RoyandAimee hi guys thank you also for the lovely reply 😊
      I forgot to mention that the cherry and apple blossoms are currently out here too. Something I’ve always liked about Japan is all the festivals that take place throughout the year, the cherry blossom festival is obviously a huge thing there and it also seems to have a real air of authenticity to it. There are a few places in the UK that highlight their cherry blossom trees but it’s only a tiny amount in comparison.
      I also really liked the local pubs you went into as well, the food looks fantastic and I love the intimate atmosphere that they have.
      😊

      Ooh it’s interesting that you mention apple blossoms as we saw some flowering trees we’d never seen before the other day and we were wondering if they were apple blossoms - most likely! I imagine the UK must have a lot of lovely blooms in spring 🌸
      That’s easily one of our favorite things about Japan, how they celebrate each season. It really makes you feel like you’ve enjoyed each year to the full.
      Yes the pubs were a fantastic mix of local and authentic but still accessible. Sometimes it can be a bit intimidating when the menu is only in Japanese 😅

      @@RoyandAimee hi guys, yes spring really is taking hold here now. The bluebells are currently out too (they, like a lot of wildflowers are protected by law), they look amazing when they’re in big patches in the grasslands and woodland areas. One area that is particularly stunning that’s local to me is Whitwell Woods, it’s a only a few miles from me which again is great having it on my ‘doorstep’ 😊
      Yes I can imagine it may get a little intimidating in the pubs, your Japanese always sounds so good though and I imagine being willing to learn and speak the language goes well with local people.
      Have a great remainder of the week.

      Bluebells look like a beautiful flower to see. They remind me a little of nemophila here in Japan - the shape and flower is completely different haha but the way they coat the ground in big patches is similar - and spectacular! Whitwell Woods looks like a lovely place to spend some time.
      We've been trying our best with Japanese! 💪 But yes the Japanese people are incredibly kind and patient so that helps a lot when speaking 😊
