【ジモト情報】ユウニ塩湖と亀山湖

突然ですが、皆様は「ユウニ塩湖」はご存知ですか?
いろんな海外旅行のサイトで「一生に一度は見てみたい絶景」とか「死ぬまで一度は見たい絶景」などのキャッチコピーで紹介されている塩の湖で、雨期の時はうっすら水が張り、空が鏡のように映ることで有名です。
最近は当館にもインバウンド(訪日観光)の方が、たまに見えるようになりました、私(亀リト、豊島)も、地元の藍染作家、松原氏の工房見学や奥房総の風光明媚な場所など、様々な場所をガイドしています。
This may be out of the blue, but have you heard of Yuuni Salt Lake?
This salt lake is featured on many international travel sites with catchphrases such as "A breathtaking view you'll want to see at least once in your life" and "A breathtaking view you'll want to see before you die." It's famous for being slightly watery during the rainy season, when the sky is reflected like a mirror.
Recently, we've occasionally seen inbound tourists at our hotel, and I (Kame Rito and Toshima) have been guiding them to various places, such as tours of the workshop of local indigo dye artist Matsubara and scenic spots in Oku-Boso.
ところで、このユウニ塩湖、とてもとても遠いそうです、南米ですからまさに地球の裏側、JTBのサイトによると何と飛行機(国際線)で30時間!そのあと国内線で1時間、更にタクシーやバスで乗り継ぎがあるなど道中が大変です!
By the way, this Yuuni Salt Lake is very, very far away. It's in South America, so it's on the other side of the world. According to the JTB website, it takes 30 hours by plane (international flight)! Then, you have to take a domestic flight for 1 hour, and then you have to transfer by taxi and bus, so the journey is quite tough!

アクセスは東京駅八重洲口から亀山湖まで75キロ、時間は1時間11分です。
こう考えると、ユウニ塩湖も良いですが、亀山湖も負けていないんじゃないかと(笑)
一生に一度ユウニ塩湖も良いですが、一生に100回くらい亀山湖で、四季折々の変化を楽しむのもお勧めです。
まだG.Wの旅行先が決まっていない方は、ぶらっとアクセスの良い亀山湖を散策し、当館の日帰り温泉に入ってアクアラインが混む前に帰宅する、などはいかがでしょうか?
どうぞ気軽に亀山湖にお越しください、お待ちしております。
Access is 75 km from the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station to Lake Kameyama, and takes 1 hour and 11 minutes.
When you think about it this way, Yuuni Salt Lake is good, but Kameyama Lake is just as good (lol).
It's nice to visit Yuuni Salt Lake once in your lifetime, but I also recommend visiting Lake Kameyama about 100 times in your lifetime to enjoy the changes of the seasons.
If you haven't decided where to go for your Golden Week trip yet, why not take a stroll around the easily accessible Lake Kameyama, take a dip in our day spa, and head home before the Aqua-Line gets crowded?
Please feel free to visit Lake Kameyama, we look forward to seeing you.
