The Herb Garden at MenardAoyamaResort Resort is home to 300 types of herbs spread over a vast area. During the German chamomile season from late May to mid-June, and the lavender season from late June to early July, the entire field of flowers is in full bloom, creating a dream-like landscape. It is called the ``Garden of Fragrance'', and the scent wafts in the wind.
After your walk, enjoy some herbal tea at Woodhouse's Brunch Cafe Arugula. On sunny days, we recommend seating on the open terrace where you can view the herb garden.
We also recommend the Italian lunch at "Mastuni Cola". The authentic pizza baked in a stone oven and the pasta made using the resort's herbs and local ingredients are exquisite.
On the grounds of MenardAoyamaResort Resort, there are plenty of sports facilities, including a tennis court where you can feel the refreshing highland breeze, a golf course where you can relax and explore with few ups and downs, and an indoor heated pool with a Jacuzzi.
After exercising, enjoy some relaxing time. There are two hot springs in the resort's Kiryu Onsen: ``Koraku-no-Yu,'' which has a ``Kaori-no-Yu'' scented with freshly picked herbs, and ``Miyabi-no-Yu,'' which is scented with cypress. "Koraku no Yu" is also available for day use.
Be sure to try out the esthetics, which incorporates all the results that Menard Cosmetics has cultivated over many years. Relax your mind and body while feeling the aromatic scent. The Cosmetics Studio is also popular, where you can create your own original products, from selecting fragrances and colors to mixing and finishing.
The fun at night is the light up and illumination. Throughout the year, the resort is decorated with spectacular light art that takes advantage of the natural scenery.
At Restaurant La Glace, you can enjoy aromatic French cuisine made with herbs grown in the herb garden while watching the illuminations. Looks like you'll have a romantic time. The luxurious and delicate Kaiseki cuisine at Restaurant Miyabi is also wonderful.
There are four types of accommodations scattered within the resort. We offer a variety of accommodations, including ``Hotel Chambert'' surrounded by greenery, ``Aoyama Hotel'' with an esthetic house attached, ``Garaku Tsukasa'' with a luxurious hot spring bath attached to the room, and ``Swiss Village'', a cottage where you can feel the warmth of wood and nature. lineup.
AoyamaPlateau Road, which weaves between windmills, is a perfect driving and touring route. A wind farm on top of a mountain creates a landscape like no other. The scenery that changes with the seasons is also fascinating: spring flowers, summer meadows, autumn pampas grass, winter frost trees.
Easy hiking is also recommended. Walk along the promenade from AoyamaPlateau to Maruyama Grassland and climb the stairs leading to the blue sky for a 360-degree panoramic view. You may even see wild deer and foxes.
About 30 minutes by car from AoyamaPlateau is the ``Kinoyate Hojuan'' where you can enjoy seasonal flowers, and another 10 minutes away is the ``Shindaibutsuji Temple'' where the autumn leaves of maples decorate the entire mountain. So if you like natural scenery, please take a look. Sarubino Onsen, where you can enjoy 16 types of hot springs for day trips, is also 5 minutes away from the temple. After being blown away by the highland wind, take a break in the hot springs.
