ディナーはステキ、また行きたい！という感じではなく残念でした。まぁピリピリとお高く気取った雰囲気がなくて良かったという事にしておきます。部屋に戻ると「お夜食です」とカードが付いた
銀の箱がテーブルの上に。見るからにチョコレートが入っていそうで（デザートもガッカリだったし）旦那と喜んだものの開けてみればオニギリ。肩を落とす夫を横に私が頂きました。宿泊客しか入れない別館にラウンジバーがあるというので緑色の可愛らしい
リフトカーを使って別館へ。バー自体はシンプルな内装が誰かの家？という感じで印象がイマイチなのですが、バーに入る前の感じは最高にステキでした。夜空に光る水が美しい！館内はアート作品や建物の著作権を守るために写真撮影禁止との事だったので写真は撮りませんでした。撮ったとしても写真では自然の偉大さや、そこの空気を伝える事は出来ないだろうし・・・なんてウソ。お願いしてでも撮らせてもらえば良かった〜！（どんな感じか見たい人は

The dinner wasn't that great (including the service and the atmosphere), but at least it wasn't awful or annoying. When we came back to our room, we found a
silver box on the table with a card saying 'a late-night snack'. We believed that there were some chocolates inside, and we were very delighted (after the disappointing dessert). C's shoulders dropped when we found out that the box contained rice balls, not chocolate! I ate everything. We also went to the Lounge Bar of the Annex on the hill. This bar is only available for guests who stay at Benesse House, and we took the tiny green
lift car to the other building. The bar was kind of boring because of the simple interior, it reminded me of someone's house. But the building (especially the atrium space leading to the bar) was absolutely gorgeous. The water was beautifully shiny under the night sky! I didn't take any photographs because of the copyright protection in the building. Anyway, it would be hard to show the beauty of the nature and the atmosphere with photos... But still, I should have asked and taken some pictures! (You can see a few nice pictures
