I used it on a trip once a year with an old friend from middle school. It had been raining heavily since early morning, and just as I was arriving in a rental car from Tokyo, I received a call that there was a power outage in the area and that there was no electricity. I came all the way here and decided to head over, but it was after 2pm, so it was still okay by the window, but it was pitch black inside the room. In such an emergency situation, we were immediately moved by the ladies who cheerfully welcomed us and told us that even if the electricity wasn't restored for the whole day, let's still enjoy it! I decided.They made improvised lights, prepared a cooler box, lit a fire because we couldn't use the heater, etc. Everything was warm and we had so much fun!(It was successfully restored after a few hours :))It was my first time experiencing a power outage with no street lights, so I was able to appreciate civilization and it was a great experience😂The aunties also apologized profusely, and I was really happy when they said they were glad they had a good experience! !The next day, when it was time to check out, it was so intense that it became very hard to say goodbye! I will definitely come see you again! This time, in time for nice weather...💓

Three families, my parents and my sister's family, used this service after being introduced by a friend. I'm glad that not only the children but also the adults had a lot of fun enjoying the BBQ, fireworks, and watermelon splitting in the great outdoors. The facilities are also very nice and satisfying. I was worried because I had heard that there were a lot of insects. It didn't bother me when the daylight hours were long and it was bright outside, but the moment it suddenly got dark outside, bugs started gathering at the BBQ I was having on the terrace, so I went back to my room. (laughs) But it can't be helped because we're doing it in nature! My family and I are talking about wanting to use it again in a different season.

What a beautiful experience we had! Love the hotel so much. It’s fully equipped.The bed is so comfortable. 2 bathrooms with 2 showers! The wooden tub make you feel like you are in a spa and 2 toilets. The kitchen is so nice and big. They provide everything for us. The evening BBQ in the middle of fire table with the nice cold weather is perfect.The living room area is fantastic with the heater that keep your legs and feet warm.We will definitely come back :)

Four women went to stay there, and it was so spacious and beautiful that it was a waste for four people. The electricity was cut off due to a lightning strike, so I had to cook rice in a pot in a hurry, but the employees kindly taught me and made preparations, and I had a great experience.The furniture was stylish and there were many kitchen goods, so I enjoyed cooking. (The supermarket is just a short drive away)The stars were beautiful at night and we had a heartwarming holiday.The strawberry jam was delicious 🍓I want to stay there again!
