French Cuisine of Maccarina

Maccarina (マッカリーナ) is a French cuisine restaurant in Makkari villege, Niseko. It is known as the restaurant with accommodations called Auberge. When the Lake Toya Summit carried out in 2008, first ladies in the world ate their dishes and seemed to deepen friendship each other. In addition, they got one star in MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 Special Edition. It is the celebrity restaurant that everyone knows. I heard from my older sister that vegetables were particularly tasty, and I visited here. By the way, ASPERGES (they garnered one star in MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 Special Edition) in Biei town and Moliere (they garnered three stars in MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 Special Edition) in Sapporo are sister restraunts.

Makkari Village Onsen Rest Center Makkari Onsen

Makkari Village Onsen Rest Center Makkari Onsen is a hot spring facility for day trip onsen founded in 1993, and owns 3 hot spring sources, and is popular with local people. A building with a delta roof is like a mountain hut. The facility is well-known for seeing Mt. Yotei from an open-air bath, and is famous for Table Tennis with Slipper Championship (スリッパ卓球大会). An entrance fee to a bath facility is JPY 600. Restraunt “Makiba” (お食事処まきば) is at the building, too, and visitors can use the restraunt. A staying is possible at the Yurien Cottage, too. Unfortunately, public bathhouses are not allow to bring and use electronic devices.

There are 1 open-air bath, 1 indoor bath, 1 cold bath and 1 sauna at a public bathhouse. The sunny white tiled bathhouse with large windows is not large, but it is feeling good. The indoor bath is the size that about 10 people take a bath, and a part of the bath has shallows and a whirlpool. The open-air bath surrounded by rocks is the size that about 6 people take a bath, and hot spring ingredients have been separated from hot springs on the rocks. Bathers can take a bath while seeing the Mt. Yotei since blindfold walls are not built. I was very comfortable because the Mt. Yotei looked large than I expected. The open-air bath and the indoor bath use heated hot springs.

The hot springs are sodium chloride sulfate carbonated spring, and are clear and colorless and have neither taste nor smell. The sense of touch is not smooth and slippery touch. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 1.936 g/kg. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A restroom and free hair dryers are set at a dressing room. Resting rooms are provided, too, and visitors can relax freely at those.
