When staying in a group, it was a bit difficult to relieve yourself in the room's toilet because the door was thin, but there is a communal toilet so you can use that without any problems!You can choose your own cute yukata and obi in different patterns, you can reserve the hot springs for yourself, and the breakfast is delicious. I would love to stay here again!

I used it for camping. The reception was very polite. The facility was well maintained and felt clean.However, there was a big problem. It's a bug! For about 2 hours after sunset, a large number of small insects like small flies appear. They flock to lanterns, lights, and bonfires. If you're going to eat dinner, you'll definitely end up eating midges as well. See photos and videos. People with collective phobia should be careful. I was traumatized.I also had doubts about the private bath system. The private bath has one indoor bath and one outdoor bath, and is open from 15:00 to 22:00. There is a reservation table in advance with usage times divided into 45-minute intervals, and you write your name on the reservation sheet at the reception desk and make a reservation.15:00～15:45, 15:45～16:30...etc.Campers can also use the private bath as the bathing fee is included in the basic fee. However, camping users have restrictions on usage time, and can only use the private bath between 3:00pm and 6:00pm, and can only use it once. Those staying at the facility can use it twice from 15:00 to 22:00. Therefore, if the campers are fully booked from 15:00 to 18:00, they will not be able to use the private bath. If this is not possible, you will be directed to Akagawa Onsen (closes at 6:00 p.m.), which is a 5-6 minute drive away. However, Akagawa Onsen is a sulfur spring, so after taking a bath, the sulfur odor permeates your body. You will be camping with the smell of sulfur in the air.That being said, what I would like to say is that instead of forcing campers to take bathing fees, why not differentiate between facility users and campers in terms of time and frequency of use? If we want to differentiate ourselves, wouldn't it be better to make the bathing fee optional and create a system where only campers who agree with it pay the bathing fee?It was a campsite that made me feel confused in many ways.

I used it for camping. Although the site is a little sloped, it was nice to have a sense of privacy.

Used with work colleagues. After enjoying the mountain climbing, we enjoyed BBQ. You can also rent equipment, which I'm very grateful for. The atmosphere at the BBQ venue was well-created and we had a great time.The hot spring is open-air and is a family bath. Is it narrow? I thought so, but it was very beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Above all, the service provided by the owner is excellent. I met with a Korean person, and he was very cheerful and energized.There was also a table tennis table in the lobby, which made me feel like a child again.You can also take a dip in the hot springs at Akagawaso. The bluish sulfur springs are irresistible to hot spring lovers. The bathing fee is originally 1000 yen, so if you think about it, this price is exceptional. You'll get change.Next time I would like to come again with my family.

I highly recommend the starry sky!It's a shame that I can't take pictures, but there's a feeling that you can't experience in the city.We also had a barbecue, and coupled with the wonderful environment, it tasted 10 times more delicious than usual!There was also a table tennis table in the building, which was fun.It was a great satisfaction

It's so good here~~The owner is Korean, the room is clean, and the view from the room is great.Stars are falling at nightThere is an indoor hot spring bath and an outdoor open-air bath.They give you a ticket to use Akagawa Sulfur Hot Springs, and the open-air bath at Akagawa Sulfur Hot Springs is the best (I think it's only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but please inquire about other days). The water is good and the waterfall view is nice.I 100% plan to visit again next time.

I only bothered you a little bit☆3I went to see the campground because I wanted to visit the campsite, which allows four groups to use the bath once a day, but I heard that it is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. It's very luxurious to have 4 groups on a very large site!Is it a mole? There are a lot of holes...Also, there are many slopes, so be careful when setting up.It seems that cars are not allowed in, so you carry your luggage from the parking lot. There are considerable distances depending on the location.
