Workation plan around Suzuka Quasi-National Park! Enjoy the spectacular mountain views and the finest hot springs that can only be experienced here! : Ai Yamamoto’s view!

What is Suzuka Quasi-National Park?

The Suzuka Mountains that tower over the western part of the park are geologically different, with the northern part being a karst topography formed by eroding limestone, and the southeastern part being granite, so you can enjoy a variety of activities in addition to the varied landscape.

The mountains called the Suzuka Seven Mountains within the mountain range are popular spots for trekking and climbing, and in winter, the area transforms into a silver world due to the abundant snowfall. Furthermore, the mountains give rise to many mountain streams, and there are many campgrounds located along these streams.

Also, don't miss the hot springs, which have a history of 1300 years. Yunoyama Onsen, also known as the ``hot spring of beauty'' because of the legend that deer healed their wounds, is a famous hot spring that is perfect for relieving daily fatigue and stress.

It is an area with convenient transportation and rich nature, so it is recommended for a short weekend trip.

The journey begins at the ryokan “Kotoshitei”! Let's stretch our wings and get some work done before heading out.

The inn we will be staying at today is Kotobuki-tei, which is located right next to GozaishoRopeway.

Relieve the fatigue of traveling at the table space in the lobby, check your emails and do some light work, and then hop on the Komono Mobility and head out for a stroll around KomonoTown!

If you want to take some time to work, you can also use the banquet hall as a free space even before check-in.

*Please check with the facility in advance if you are thinking of using it.

Get around KomonoTown with “Komobility”! Enjoy your own trip while enjoying nature♪

“Komobability” is a new style of travel proposed by KomonoTown Tourism Association.

You can move freely around town on electrically assisted bicycles, EV bikes, and kickboards that are rented at eight mobility ports in town, and you don't have to look for parking like you would with a car. There aren't many, so if you see a store you're interested in, you can stop by right away.

It is an environmentally friendly way of traveling as it does not emit any exhaust gas. The wind, temperature, and smell of KomonoTown. It is also attractive that you can experience and fully enjoy the beautiful and rich nature!

In KomonoTown, In addition to the “GozaishoRopeway,” which I will introduce later, you can also experience treetops. ``Forest Adventure Yunoyama'' and every year beautiful “tabika Cosmos Field” where cosmos are in full bloom There are many noteworthy spots!

There are manydelicious restaurants, such as dorayaki from Iwashimaya, a Japanese confectionery specialty store, so enjoy your own original trip based on your preferences!

So I immediately rented an electric bicycle at Hotel Yunomoto, the nearest mobility port, and set out.

KomonoTown has many high altitude spots​ ​including GozaishoRopeway. Even under such circumstances, electric bicycles move steadily forward just by pedaling with a little force, so you can easily climb up hills.

This is actually my first electric bicycle. The ride is comfortable and comfortable, and you can ride it forever! The exhilaration is at its max and it feels good~♪

Enjoy an exquisite burger made with local game meat at "COMMON FOOD & DRINK"!

I found a wonderful shop while wandering around town!

​This shop sells stylish doorknobs made from deer antlers. When I entered the store, I was greeted by a warm and wonderful space.

Let's have lunch here at "COMMON FOOD & DRINK" today​!

COMMON FOOD & DRINK is a shop run by an Australian owner. The venison used in the popular game dish is harvested from the mountains of this area by his wife, who is also a hunter.

Wild birds and animals can cause serious damage by destroying fields and eating crops. Rather thanjust​ ​exterminating these creatures, they are effectively using them as wild game.

They started offering venison in order to properly consume the life they have received, and to let as many people as possible know about the deliciousness of venison.

This time, I ordered the "venison burger" set.

The `` natural deer meatballs'' are so big that they pop out of the browned homemade buns, and they are very juicy and flavorful. The gentle flavor​ ​without any stickiness goes perfectly with the homemade herb sauce, and it's a luxurious, exquisite burger with plenty of fresh vegetables and cheese.

The freshly fried crispy onion rings and homemade soda made with seasonal fruits are also great dishes that let you feel the deliciousness of the ingredients! We were able to fully enjoy the bounty of nature at this wonderful restaurant run by a cheerful couple.

Enjoy beautiful nature and art in the garden of “paramitamuseum”

After finishing our meal, we got​ ​back on the train and headed to the nearby paramitamuseum!

This museum, which is built against the backdrop of the Suzuka Mountains, which is rich in nature, holds a variety of collection exhibitions, including Masuo Ikeda's ceramic sculpture "Heart Sutra" series, as well as attractive special exhibitions.

By the way, the name Paramita comes from the Sanskrit word ``Haramita, Haramita'', and it seems to refer to reaching from this shore, which is the world of confusion, to the other shore, which is the state of enlightenment.

The museum is of course spectacular, but the attached Paramita Garden is also a must-see!

The approximately 1,200 tsubo garden is decorated with wildflowers from the foothills of Mt. Suzuka, and is home to numerous stone carvings, creating a space where nature and art are in harmony.

​There is a saying that ``Stone sculptures rejoice in the rain,'' so rainy days are also the best time to see this garden! The appearance of flowers wet in the rain is also very elegant and wonderful.

*Umbrellas are always available in the garden for strolling.

Stayed at the long-established inn "Kotoshitei". Work while enjoying the famous hot springs and spectacular views!

After enjoying a comfortable stroll KomonoTown using Komodability, I returned to Kotobuki-tei.

Speaking KomonoTown-cho, we are proud of our hot springs! This hot spring is filled with the charm of Yunoyama Onsen, where you can enjoy high-quality hot springs known as ``beauty hot springs'' and beautiful mountain views.

In the garden, there are six types of private baths that have been renovated from the early Showa era, allowing you to enjoy your own special time in a dignified Japanese space.

Take a relaxing breath. We thoroughly enjoyed a luxurious time that healed the mind and body!

You can see GozaishoRopeway from your room, and the window looks like a painting.

It looks like you'll be able to work a lot while enjoying this view, but why not try working in the ``Room that is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property''?



As I mentioned earlier, Suiunkaku in Jutei is a registered tangible cultural property of the country, and originally it was a room that could only be viewed from the perspective of protecting cultural properties. With this clever move, it can now be used as a workspace.

The dignified Japanese space is truly extraordinary! I was inspired by the completely different location than usual, and my creative work seems to be progressing all at once.

I had a great time at work while relaxing in the hot springs and enjoying the mountain scenery.

Enjoy spectacular views from 5 observation decks! Stroll through “Gozaisho Sanjo Park”

On the second day, we will ride GozaishoRopeway and take a walk around Gozaisho Sanjo Park!

I saw it from the window yesterday rope pow E stomach ride, After a 12 minute walk in the air We arrived at Gozaisho Sanjo Park.

There are many sights to see here, including the ``Fujimi-iwa Observation Deck'' where you can see Mt. Fuji and the ``Bokodai'' where you can see Lake Biwa.You can enjoy a breathtaking view with a sense of openness from all 5 observation decks. .

At the "Serow Square", you may be able to meet the "Japanese serow", which is a special natural monument! Stimulations such as extraordinary scenery and chance encounters seem to provide a variety of inspiration.

``Observation Restaurant Nature'' is the highest restaurant in Mie.

After enjoying Gozaisho Sanjo Park, head to Observation Restaurant Nature.

From the glass-enclosed store, you can enjoy the best location with a view of the Suzuka mountains. It's such a luxury to be able to see such a spectacular view while eating!

​We recommend the famous Gozaisho Curry Udon, which uses braised Ise-Udon and Sakura pork.

“Alpen Hall” is a restaurant that can also be used for workdays.

If you are inspired by the spectacular view of Gozaisho and come up with a good plan or idea,​ ​you may want to consult the restaurant and shop ``Alpen Hall'' next door.

Although it is subject to business conditions, you can rent out a space separated by curtains, so​ ​you can enjoy your workday with peace of mind while staying on top of the mountain called Gozaisho. If there aren't too many customers, it can also be used for diaper changes and meetings.

Once you are satisfied with the view from the mountaintop, take the ropeway down the mountain. It was a wonderful mountain trip where we fully enjoyed the nature of Mt.Gozaisho.

``Kamoshika Dougu Store'' is lined with cute and unique pottery. You can also try your hand at pottery!

This ``Kamoka Dogu Store'' sells stylish and wonderful pottery manufactured by Yamaguchi Pottery.

The store is lined with items with unique shapes and colors, from pots, teapots, and ceramic frying pans to rice pots and suribachi.

The products are made to fit into your daily life, and are not only cute, but also practical, and all of them are exciting to use!




In addition to selling pottery, you can also try your hand at pottery making. The instructor will teach you well, so even beginners can rest assured.

Before of"Ai Yamamoto’s view! Yokkaichi edition”But "Banko-Yaki" pottery I tried it and it was really fun My own work I remember clearly the sense of accomplishment I felt when it was completed!

Why not try making a one-of-a-kind original item as a memento from your trip?

Enjoy a luxurious time at the food and healing complex resort "Aquaignis" ♪

The last stop on our trip was the popular spot Aquaignis.

​This facility is a complex resort packed with the charms of food and healing, including gourmet food including sweets created by chef Hirohiro Tsujiguchi, and Kataoka Hot Springs with natural hot spring water.

A sophisticated and extraordinary space in the middle of nature. There are beautiful picturesque views everywhere you look.

Let's head to our famous hot springs right away.

Kataoka Onsen is a 100% natural hot spring fed directly from the source!

It is a luxurious hot spring that does not require any addition of water, heating, or circulation. When you soak in the soft alkaline water, you will feel the smoothness of your skin and the warmth of your body that lasts long after you get out of the bath.

The view of the bamboo forest from the open-air bath is also very nice.

Once you get out of the hot springs, be sure to use the rest area.

There are many large and fluffy cushions placed on the tatami. When I tried lying down on it, I couldn't help but feel enchanted by how comfortable it was.

Everyone can sit, lie down, or take a nap while relaxing in their favorite place. It's a wonderful healing space where you can relax to your heart's content!

After a relaxing break, enjoy a quiet moment in a calm space while drinking coffee purchased from the "Onsen Cafe" next door.

I was able to work in a relaxed manner, organizing tomorrow's plans and reading.

What did you think

This time, we introduced a course where you can freely enjoy KomonoTown, where the local community works together as one, while making full use of "Komonability." In addition to basic features such as Wi-Fi, many inns are now separating meals and nights, and many are cooperating with local restaurants, so there are many different types of stays. This is a great town for those who are considering a long-term work trip.

Kanko Mie also introduces other model courses for enjoying Suzuka Quasi-National Park. If you are interested, please take a look at the Suzuka Quasi-National Park special website.

Additionally, the special website for Mie Prefecture National Quasi-National Park introduces four national and quasi-national parks within Mie Prefecture. Each area has its own natural charms, so please take a look at them as well.
