Silver Week Day 2... Today, the final destination is here at the lakeside of Lake Akan, at a hotel called "Hotel Sansuiso," a hotel with a guesthouse-like atmosphere. We decided to stay at this hotel for a reason. In fact, there were quite a few difficulties in securing accommodation for today, and the reasons are as follows: 1. Accommodation that allows pets. 2. Starting the accommodation arrangements a month before Silver Week, when it was already difficult to get a reservation through travel agencies. Therefore, we had to individually search online and contact each place one by one to finally secure accommodation at this grateful place. Originally, we had planned to stay in a different town, and our travel itinerary was also set up for that. However, by securing accommodation here, the entire drive course for today was rearranged. Upon arrival at the hotel around 17:25, we drove from Ashoro on Route 241, through the mountain road of Mt. O-akan. We had been blessed with good weather since leaving home, but now we were starting to encounter rain. Irritated by the slow pace of the lead car, we finally arrived at the hotel by 17:30. Upon seeing the exterior of the hotel, it matched our expectations. After filling out the accommodation register at the front desk, we were immediately asked about dinner. The man who seemed to be the owner asked, "Would you like some alcohol?" and offered a variety of options like draft beer, sake, shochu, etc. We decided to go with draft beer for now. Upon entering the room, we were told that dinner would be served soon. We had requested room service for dinner (with a 2,000 yen surcharge) as our dogs were with us. A staff member brought in the dinner set, rice, miso soup, and a draft beer one after another. The meal was quite extravagant, and we were unsure where to start. We started with the sashimi, which was fresh but nothing exceptional. The simmered dish, likely made with Ainu leeks, had a spicy kick and paired well with the rice. The tempura was crispy and freshly fried. The vinegar-soaked warabi (bracken fern) was unique and a highlight of the meal. The warm somen noodles were unexpectedly delicious with a flavorful broth. By the time we reached the crab shell gratin, our stomachs were already full. The katsu plate seemed out of reach. The food wasn't incredibly delicious, but it had a homely feel, like being treated to a variety of dishes at a relative's house. After finishing the rice, both my wife and I were stuffed. We waited for our bodies to settle before enjoying the hot spring bath. The hot water here is sourced from a natural spring. I went to the bathhouse, but...Hmm...It's hard to express the facilities and amenities of this place.
