I stayed in a CABIN C type.The location is good, but the rooms are small and there are no refrigerators, trash cans, or tissues.There is only one cooler box and no ice packs.The hand washing area in the toilet is very small, and the washing area in the kitchen is also very small. It is difficult to wash camping equipment.The building looks much more solid in real life than it looks in the photo.Since there was no one else staying, it was nice to have a private bath, but when there were a lot of people, it was small and quite cramped.

Thank you for your help at the campsite.I had high expectations, but my impression is that it was better than I expected.I used a large site, but it was extremely hot with no shade and poor ventilation.What I was most concerned about was the customer base. Many people are noisy. . When I went to the kitchen, I could hear music from the free site at a high volume.I wonder if there will be a repeat? .The customer service and hot springs were very good!There are no soaps in the on-site toilets or kitchen.

I stayed at the lodge with my husband, daughter in first grade, and son in middle school. The building was clean and comfortable during my stay. In particular, the rice was very delicious, with the menu mainly using local vegetables.There is a play area for small children next to the building, where they played for about an hour after checking out. Check-in was late, so I wish I had come earlier. The staff provided good service and were very kind to the children. The hot spring was under construction at the time, so I'd like to take a dip in the hot spring next time I use it!

Campsite use.Good points・Clean and stylish water areas such as the kitchen and toilets.In particular, the bathroom smelled like newly built cypress.・You can use the hot springs in the hotel for free.Bad points- Immediately after checking in, every time the wind blows around the site, an unbearable smell reminiscent of a public toilet wafts out of nowhere.・The woman at the front desk at check-out was completely unfriendly and didn't even say thank you.

We took a walk around Lake Tateshina for lunch and ordered Shinshu miso gapao rice and venison taco rice, which were delicious with plenty of vegetables. The restaurant is spacious and you can enjoy your lunch in a relaxed manner.

Thank you for staying in the cabin.I was able to park my car next to the cabin and set up a tarp on the lawn in front of the cabin.Inside the cabin, there was only electrical outlet power, but there was a fan and heater so we could adjust the heat or cold. There was no refrigerator, so it was a good idea to bring a large cooler box. There was also an outlet near the bed, so it was easy to charge my smartphone.There are two restrooms located next to each other in the cabin building. It was well maintained and easy to use.There is also a washing area next to the restroom, making it easy to cut ingredients and wash dishes.The lawn area was spacious and comfortable to spend time in, but I was careless and got stung by gnats on my leg in 7.8 places...(Poison remover was apparently available for rent at the front building)The front building is also stylish and is said to have originally been a lodging facility called Hakurinso.Another plus point is that it is a natural hot spring.You will be given a paper number during the explanation at the reception desk, and you can enter that number to unlock the hot spring entrance door. It was nice that the amenities included Kagure skin care.There was a small children's area next to the front building, where children could have fun playing with large Jenga games and ropes hanging from trees.The next morning, we enjoyed a walk around Lake Tateshina. There is a roadside station across the lake from the facility, where you can also enjoy buying souvenirs and going to the cafe. I was also able to take out gapao rice from the same EKAL shop. I was also given UR points.I chose a plan that included breakfast, and the food was very delicious. We smoked the food in the smoker in the garden and had a luxurious time.The price was reasonable, and I was surprised that even though it was the middle of summer, I was able to stay without air conditioning at all. I would definitely use it again.

It's a very nice place, and I've been there several times with my family. It's a place where even small children can feel at ease, and it's so stylish that even adults get excited. I will go again!
