Nishigo travel guide and discussion

Exiv in the snow – this was quite nice! ⛄️ This time, I stayed at the Grand Exiv Nasu Shirakawa The Lodge in Shirakawa, Fukushima. This is a so-called "members-only resort," but the lodge building is relatively casual, which is a plus. First of all, the location is superb, a highland resort with the Nasu mountain range as a backdrop. The building has a European feel, which is nice and gives it a slightly overseas vibe. · Access It's easily accessible from Tokyo by Shinkansen (bullet train). ・Tohoku Shinkansen "Shin-Shirakawa Station" → Approximately 8-10 minutes by taxi ・By car, approximately 8 minutes from Shirakawa IC ・Free shuttle service is available if the timing is right. It's quite luxurious to be so close to the station yet surrounded by nature. · About Golf Actually, a lot of people come here specifically for golf. There's a course on the premises, and the advantage is that you can play a round directly from the hotel. Moreover, the course is tournament-level and strategically designed – a truly professional setup. ...But this time It was closed due to snow 😂 It was completely white, and ironically, it felt even more like a resort. · Hotel Impressions · 55 guest rooms with a calm atmosphere · Natural hot spring (open-air bath and sauna included) · Spa and lounge also available, making it a proper resort Even without playing golf, it's still very satisfying. In fact, soaking in the hot spring amidst the snowy scenery is the best. · Summary Golfers → Should come during the best season Non-golfers → Perfect for a regular resort visit Although we couldn't play this time due to the snow, This is a place where I'm definitely going to come back for revenge. Next time, I'll come back to play a proper round 🏌️♂️ #CostPerformanceHotel
