The journey began when I started physically transporting water from hot springs to facilitate onsen baths at my parents' hotel. Soon, neighboring hotels expressed interest in having these natural hot spring waters delivered to them as well, and that is how our hot spring delivery service was born. Tateshina Onsen, situated in Chino City, boasts five different types of spring qualities and efficacies. We primarily deliver the specific natural hot spring known as "Serigasawa Onsen" to nearby hotels, villas, welfare facilities, and more.

At Lake Shirakaba, where mountains and a pristine lake coexist harmoniously, provides the perfect backdrop for a leisurely lakeside stroll. I often find myself wishing more locals would enjoy walking here as well. Well, maybe they do without me knowing? (laughs)

For visitors, the top-recommended view is the Venus Line. Perfect for a scenic drive, especially renowned during seasons adorned with blooming daylilies and azaleas. The road provides an exhilarating experience, especially uphill, with distant scenery on the left and towering mountains on the right.
Regarding seasons, I would love to say that I love them all, but honestly, winter has become less appealing as I have aged. Honestly, it is just too cold! (laughs)

My favorite spot is the park just down from the "West Lake Shirakaba Parking Lot." With couple of benches, it is a delightful place no matter the season, offering a view of the lake.
Since this is my hometown, it feels like I have been here my whole life. That is why, I probably take everything, including the scenery, for granted. (laughs) So, I feel like there is nothing special here, but when friends from outside the area visit and exclaim, "This place is so beautiful," it brings me joy.
