Road Salt: Chikuni-Kaido trip in Nagano pref.
I would like to inform Chikuni-Kaido and Omachi OnsenKyo trip.



From Matsumoto, I ride JR Oito line, about 1 hour riding, arrive at Shinano Omachi station.

Road Salt: Chikuni-Kaido is an Old Salt road from Matsumoto to Itoigawa in Niigata.

I get off at Shinano Omachi station, go north about 10 minutes, arrive at Road Salt Chojiya museum.

This museum is modified Old Shoya house treating salt and Miso etc.
Charge is 500yen.

Office woman explains this museum in detail.
At 1 floor, you can see trading salt, cow riding salts walking at Chikuni-Kaido.

At second floor, doll that carried in play a salt is seen.

Try to carry 60kg salto bag is impossible.

Road salt festival is held in May, at Otari village, Hakuba village, Omachi city.

Next is Storage room of salt.
In this room, salt is push by heavy weight, then salty liquid comes out.

Dashi vehicles are also attending.


Next I go to Nyakuichi-Oji shrine.

I ride a bus to Omachi-Oonsenkyo Hot spring.
North Alp mountains are seen from bus.

About 25minutes bus riding,I arrive at Omachi Onsen.
I enter Yakushi-No-Yu hot spring.



When you go to Omachi-Onsen Tourism Association, you can get discount ticket for Yakushi-No-Yu.
This hot spring has two bathes, at Honkan, and Shinkan.
Shinkan bath has Open-Air bath.
Fro Open-Air bath, North Alp mountains are with snow.
This view is wonderful.

I return to JR Shinano Omachi station, I drink Hachi Cider.
This drink uses Kurobe dum ground water.
Taste is tasty but not so sweet.

That's it.
