【輕井澤】Hotel Rosso Karuizawa、雲場池Kumoba Pond－二訪輕井澤之沒計畫完全碰運氣遊(上)

十月中，拍到如此紅黃錯落的雲場池，已經很幸運。

So lucky that I could take such red and yellow colored Kumoba Pond in mid-October.

出門前兩天，同事阿嘉問：Cora你該不會，｢又｣還沒搞定旅館吧？

我：答對了。

事實上我人到日本了才確定最後一晚的住宿，出發前一週才｢臨時起意｣再訪輕井澤，前三天才訂下今年八月開幕的Hotel Rosso Karuizawa。

Two days before my trip started, Aka, one of my colleagues, asked: Cora, I guess, you didn’t finish your room reservation “as usual”, did you?

I: No.

Actually I booked my last stay when arriving Japan, and I decided to visit Karuizawa again one week before my departure date. Then I booked Hotel Rosso Karuizawa, just opened in August this year, three days before.

或許就是因為新開不久，網路上鮮少有review，才能在賞楓季前夕，以合理價格入住這家車站附近的旅館。

Hardly did I find its review probably because it was newly opened. Thanked for that and I could stay nearby JR station with a reasonable price.

外觀這是清水模嗎？總覺得這種水泥外牆再怎麼高級，看起來就是很像還沒蓋好，要不是先上網做過功課，不小心就要走過頭。

Nearly missed it if I didn’t watch its picture in advance. I always thought such cement walls looked like they were not completed.

有單床房，我訂時只剩雙床，幸好沒有貴很多。

I booked a twin-bed room because all single rooms were sold out. Fortunately the price was just a little bit higher.

商務館旅較少見的DHC Amenity。

提供handy，房客專用上網+050 IP電話吃到飽，連住兩天帶著出門，至少省下一整天網路漫遊費。

Handy available, a smart phone capable for unlimited data and 050 IP phone, free to room guests. Bring it out and helps to save your own roaming charge.

設備當然都很新，唯一缺點是房內沒有主燈，晚上想打電腦、看電視，光源只有桌上的檯燈和床頭燈，實在太暗了。

All equipment were new, certainly. The only disadvantage was lack of a main light. It was too dark if you wanted to use a PC or watch TV, since there were only small desk and bed lights.

床頭有LED充電，非常符合現代人需求，不愧是新旅館。

LED charger available beside the headboard, matching people’s needs nowadays. A new hotel indeed!

有免費早餐，內容像一般商務飯店。飲料不會撤走，24小時隨時自取。

They serves free breakfast, as an ordinary business hotel does. Drinks are always there; take it whenever you want.

也有投幣式洗衣烘衣機，會自動加洗衣精，不用自備。

Coin laundries available. Don’t need to prepare your own detergent since the machine will add it automatically.

路癡到達法：官網寫從車站徒步五分鐘，那要用跑的，走路又帶著行李差不多要十分鐘。路很好認，從JR輕井沢駅北口(往舊輕井沢的方向，Outlet是南口)過圓環向前走，到大馬路看到Shell加油站，過馬路後向左走，

Get there as a no-brainer: The official site said 5-minute “walk” from JR Karuizawa Station; actually it’s more like a 5-minute “run”. About 10 with luggage, from my experience. Walk straight from North Exit JR Karuizawa Station, the same direction to Kyu Karuizawa. Then you’ll see a Shell gas station, walk across the road and turn left,

一直走看到Lawson便利商店，

Walk straight until you see Lawson,

後面那棟灰色很像施工中的就是了。

the hotel, looking like under construction, is behind it.

Hotel Rosso位於輕井沢駅往雲場池的路上，應該是它位置的最大優勢，我一共來了三次，包括一次從舊輕井澤、聖保羅教堂回來，從雲場池尾走到頭。只要帶著handy，跟著Google導航走就OK了，山裡收訊都很好。

Location, the best advantage of the hotel, is on the way to Kumoba Pond from Karuizawa Station. I visited three times including once walking from Kyu Karuizawa. I took out my handy and followed Google Map. Signals were always good even in the mountain.

十月中畢竟早了些，沿路楓樹大部分還是綠色的。還經過好些私人別墅。其實現在這些渡假聖地的別墅價格都不會很貴(因為跌太多)，我覺得還是偶爾來玩幾天，住住旅館就好了，在這裡長住一定很無聊。但漫步在這裡的別墅區，真有股在｢國外｣的感覺呢。

After all, mid-October was too early, and most leaves were green. Also passing by various private villas as well. Prices of those villas were not expensive after tumbling a lot. But I think visiting here occasionally and staying in an hotel for several days is better for me. It must be bored if long-stay here. However, walking in the villa area really feel like in a “foreign” country.

知道晚兩週來更好，考量接近十月底，公告季報的公司多，選擇提早出發，以後絕不幹這等蠢事了，想什麼時候去哪裡，一切只依自己高興，再重要的公司法說、客戶簡報，統統都是屁！
