LAKE RESORT

Where to go this weekend? Quiet leisure time at Lake Shirakaba.

In the melting summer of 2022, I'm not in the mood for floating seas or stoic mountains. What will surely suit such a mood is a lake. Lake Shirakaba, located in Chino, Nagano, where the "Lake Resort" is conceived, is not a place where you go to do something with a purpose. It is simply a place to drift. The lake taught me how to spend leisure time, not leisure time, by chewing time and savoring space.

A lake on holiday , an option.

For example, when you have a day off without plans, don't you feel that you are free? Perhaps it is a habit peculiar to Japanese people to try to find or fill up their free time with plans. Going to the lake is not the same as writing down a schedule in a notebook.

. It may be easier to understand lakes as the opposite of tourist attractions. A casual visit, for example, to run around, have lunch, take a walk, read a book, or simply do nothing but stare at the surface of the lake is very effective.
Just by changing the place where you spend your time to near a lake , your body and mind will feel strangely at ease.

However, it takes a bit of courage to have such a dumb time on an important holiday. Let me give you a push this time.

We visited Lake Shirakaba in Chino City, Nagano Prefecture. The entire city and town have worked together on the "Lake Resort Concept," carefully preparing the lakeside area while measuring the appropriate distance between nature and people. . Here is a glimpse of what can be done in this slightly manicured space. . This is just a small sample, so please feel free to arrange your stay as you wish.
