Comfy Stay in Hotel Nikko Niseko Style!

by Kazu

The lounge on the second floor of Hotel Nikko Niseko has such nice a space to have all inclusive meal before dinner after five o'clock. 

  

As the surrounding premises are still being developed for accommodations and villas that will compose "Hanazono Village", the temporary accommodations made of "Super-house" are on the backside of the hotel.

Arranging the design of the buildings in that area to share the landscape of Mt. Totei and Mt. Niseko Annupri may be tough and the total landscape of this area should be contemplated and well-planned not to reduce the value of Hanazono Area, I think.

 

Takahashi Ranch in Niseko Town !

by Kazu

This tractor had been actually used in Takahashi Ranch of Niseko Town, I think. Driving the tractor in this area for an hour might be intriguing but tough for hours. The workers in the ranch had done that before.  

From the relaxation space next to the hot spring spa in Hotel Nikko Niseko Style, this scenery could be seen on that day. The lifts were in service even in daytime.  Optical fibers illumination was not set on the field in front of Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono yet but soon the attractive events will be held.

Outdoor activities such as zip line and trees trekking are available in the adjacent area but speaking of rafting, the guests must be picked up by the shuttle bus from Hanazono Area. 

 

Making Cheese in Takahashi Ranch !

by Kazu

Even on Saturday, the workers of the cheese factory were struggling to make top-quality cheese in the humid cell of the factory run by Takahashi Ranch. Their art works were displayed in the fridge and waiting for the time to mature completely. 

This is the appearance of the Italian restaurant "Mandriano" and its cheese factory. Every weekend, so many visitors and tourists swamp to the area and give the power to them.

Other than the restaurant and cheese factory, they have sweets shop that sells ice cream, yogurt, sausages cookies. A veggie shop sourced locally and a craft shop are on the same premises. Please try them and get the level of the culinary delights in the area.

 

Cheese Factory and Italian Restaurant Mandriano in Takahashi Ranch!

by Kazu

Our visits to Kutchan /Niseko Area have relieved us from daily stress and pressure so much and helped us recharge our butteries so nicely. As we have to respond to the unforeseeable accidents and disasters in our business, we can not be far from Sapporo City except for our hometown-visit.    

We made a point of having lunch in the Italian restaurant "Mandriano" run by Takahashi Ranch in Niseko Town. Otherwise, we have Dim Sum lunch in "China Kitchen" of hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono. 

Both of them provide us with so nice meal. In Mandriano, we usually have pizza quatro fromage and fried potato. Sometimes, carpaccio accompanies. As the ranch makes top-quality cheese like "Parmigiano Reggiano" and other kinds of cheese, the dishes are breath-taking and grabbing the stomachs of the visitors.  

 

Brunch in Osaka !

by Kazu

The small park in Osaka Nanba Area was so impressive and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. The APA Hotel in Nanba Shinsaibashi has such relaxing space in front of in-house convenience store, gym and spa.

They are on the same floor and so reasonable and convenient to enjoy exercise, bathing and drinking beer in this place. For the guests from overseas, it must be catering to their needs.

Furthermore, we could have such nice brunch in the cafe run by "Moncher" near the hotel.

 

An Oasis in Nanba, Osaka!

by Kazu

The small park near the Bay of Osaka Nanba was filled up with the aroma of the various kinds of flowers isolated by the trees surrounding the park. The season of rose flowers would be closed before hot and humid summer in Osaka.

As walking around the park may be tough in hot and humid summer under the strong sunshine, the end of the flourish may be appropriate for the city and citizens. 

I was curious to see the bronze figures like the citizens walking around the park but they may surprise the strollers in the darkness. What do you think about it ? 

 

The Flower Garden in Nanba Osaka!

by Kazu

I did not expect such beautiful a garden near the hotel we stayed in Osaka Nanba. Some people were walking around with their companion animals early in the morning. No joggers could be seen other than myself but the garden seemed to be the place of comfort for the citizens.

The plants blooming and to bloom  looked well-trimmed and fertilized.Surrounded by various kinds of trees, the garden was as if isolated from the buildings made of ferro-concrete. 

The garden is located in the mixture of the residential and business area and may be a cozy place to have a rest and relax. The indigenous people of Hokkaido Ainu performers certainly showed their presence in Osaka Kansai International Exhibition.
