車の後部座席にこなつが長時間乗っても疲れないようにベッドを持ち込み、居住スペースを作ります。いざ出発！
This time it is a travelogue to Karuizawa. We bring a bed into the back seat of the car to create a living space for Konatsu so that she won’t get tired after a long ride. Let’s go!
我が家から軽井沢までは途中の休憩時間を含めて約4時間､､､
The journey from our house to Karuizawa took about four hours, including breaks along the way…
群馬県に入り上信越道のSAに立ち寄ると、かなり雪があります。
When we entered Gunma Prefecture and stopped at the Joshinetsu Expressway SA, there was quite a bit of snow.
軽井沢に近づくにつれ車からの風景もこうなってきます。
The closer we got to Karuizawa, the more the scenery from the car started to look like this.
そして、レジーナリゾート旧軽井沢に到着。
Then we arrived at Regina Resort Kyu-Karuizawa.
館内には犬連れで楽しめる場所がいろいろあり、ここは昼はカフェ・夜はバーラウンジ。
There are various places in the facility that you can enjoy with your dog, including a cafe by day and a bar lounge by night.
今回の宿泊は206号室
This time we stayed in room 206.
この広さなら3人＋1頭でも余裕でOK。
With this space, there’s plenty of room for three people plus one dog.
バスルームも快適。
The bathrooms are comfortable.
ここは施設内のドッグラン。ここ数年はこなつを雪遊びに連れて行ってやれなかったので、これなら楽しめる！ 雪が降った直後のちょうど良いタイミングの旅行だった。
This is the dog park in the facility. I haven’t been able to take Konatsu out to play in the snow for the past few years, so this would be fun! The timing of the trip was just right, right after it snowed.
姉と妹の図 They’re like sisters.
このあとディナータイム
After this, it’s dinner time.
ここの日本食は美味しいと評判だから楽しみです！
The Japanese food here has a reputation for being delicious, so I’m looking forward to it!
これはこなつ用の「信州サーモンの蒸し焼き」Lサイズ(笑) あっという間に完食でした。美味しかったんだろうね、人間でも食べれそうだもの。
This is a large size “steamed Shinshu salmon” for Konatsu (lol). It was eaten up in no time! It must have been delicious, because it looks like it could be eaten by humans.
グルメレポーターみたいなコメントは出来ないけれど、例えば左上の前菜も一つ一つが見た目以上に素晴らしく美味しい。全部にコメントしたらキリがないので書きませんが､､､
I can’t comment like a gourmet reporter, but for example, each of the appetizers in the upper left corner is even better than it looks. If I were to comment on everything, there would be no end to it, so I won’t…
その前菜と一緒に飲んだのがコレ。小布施ワイナリーだから当然ワイン、と思うでしょうが実はこれ小布施ワイナリーが作った日本酒なんです。限定品のため一人一杯ですが、キリっと辛口で前菜５品との相性もとてもいい。貴重なものを堪能できました。
This is what we drank with the appetizer. You would think that since it’s Obuse Winery, it would naturally be wine, but it’s actually sake made by Obuse Winery. It’s a limited edition, so each person can only have one glass, but it’s crisp and dry and goes very well with the five appetizers. We were able to enjoy something very precious.
更に食事もお酒も進み楽しいディナータイムでした。この日のホールスタッフの女性がたまたま以前私たちが蓼科のレジーナに行ったときにお会いした人で、嬉しい再会ができた。こういう偶然も旅の楽しみの一つかな。
It was a fun dinner time with more food and drinks. The lady who was working at the hall that day happened to be someone we had met when we went to Regina in Tateshina, so we had a nice reunion. I guess such coincidences are one of the joys of travel.
ここのレストランはテーブルごとに高いパーテーションで仕切られていて、感染対策も十分出来ていると感じます。これで一日目が終了です。
The restaurant here has high partitions separating each table, and I feel that the infection control is well done. This was the end of the first day.
