5/5
Apart from the cleanliness of the facilities and the fun of canoeing, what impressed me most was how the people at Everglades worked hard to provide hospitality to the guests.At the bingo tournament, the staff at the restaurant dressed up in costumes worked hard to make it fun, and the next morning at the French toast, Everglades, who had worked hard in costume at the bingo tournament the night before, worked hard to make the French toast. Ta.It was great to see people working so hard.I would like to go again.

The rooms were well-equipped, the services such as bingo tournaments were great, and the location was great, with a nice breeze and being able to go canoeing on the river!

Ise-Shima was good, but Lake Biwa was also the best. Unfortunately, accommodation costs are high. I would like the price to be a little more commensurate with the facility.

I went there in March 2024 because I had an accommodation plan for a facility with a dog run. It's a friendly facility for families with dogs ◡̈ The reception staff were smiling and kind, and I was able to ride a canoe with my dog ⭐︎ I became a member because I thought it would be nice to stay there for the first time. If you become a member, you will receive a member discount, so if you are considering repeat visits, we recommend that you become a member.

It came with a canoe and was used for Obon. The employees are very kind.There are events that kids can enjoy, such as bingo and jewelry hunting, so I'm glad the kids had fun. Thank you to the employees who did their best to keep us entertained while searching for gems despite the hot weather. Thanks to this, the children were also smiling.My child suffers from asthma, so my asthma would come out at night, and when I took a quick walk outside to relax, the starry sky was incredibly beautiful.You can definitely hear the sound of trains, but it didn't bother me. I think that's why I was able to do it slowly. I would like to use it again.

The facilities are well thought out and you can spend time there all year round, including lodging and canoeing.However, in the summer, if you get stuck in traffic at a nearby beach, you're likely to lose an hour.It would be helpful if you could include information on traffic jams, detours, and service changes from last year in the reservation confirmation email from the previous day.

I think it's well made as a glamping facility. The staff are very energetic and do their best to keep the children entertained. It's not really a hotel, so if you go there with that feeling, you'll be disappointed. The interior is clean and the food is decent (we rely on frozen food). Unfortunately, it's outdoors, but there are a lot of spider webs and the air conditioner is small, so the trains are very noisy in midsummer. The price is about the same as a cheap hot spring inn, so I think it's a matter of which one you prefer.

You can canoe! However, there are fixed times when I can go out to wide areas. It's fixed and the time is short. You can also make a bonfire! There's nothing special about it. I brought my own food! If you have a pet with you, it might be a good idea as some people were playing with their pets. In terms of services, it is a glamping facility, so basically it is the same as a cottage or lodge, and it is a camping experience where you do not need a tent. The homepage gives a good impression of the place, so I expected the same kind of hospitality as a hotel. However, since it was just an extension of camping, I felt that the cost performance was poor. I guess it's nice in the summer because I can sleep in an air conditioned room.
