If you want to ski in Japan, and you aren't a beginner, Happo one is the place to come. The cottage has send out/pick up service to Happo or Iwatake ski area. I'm sure that the hospitarity of owner's couple satisfy you. …

Pension Knurup, a night performance known only to those in the knowI played it when I was in elementary school, and 25 years later, I was finally able to stay there.I think only those who have played the game can understand the excitement, but I couldn't stop being excited from beginning to end. . .To someone who doesn't know anything about it, it might look like a small pension, but the service is so solid that even people who don't know anything about it can be satisfied.It seems that many people come by car, but since I took the train, I had someone come to pick me up at the station.Transportation to and from the ski resort is also available.When staying, there are plans that do not include cooking, but please be sure to choose a plan that includes cooking.It's really delicious and has a lot of volume.There doesn't seem to be any place to eat nearby. . .Please note that there are some differences from the game.First of all, there is no bath in the room.It's a little inconvenient, but there's a 24-hour bathhouse, so I'll use that.It's not very big, so only a few people can fit in.Amenities are not provided, so you will need to bring your own hair dryer etc.There's also no refrigerator in the room.Even if you bring your own drink, it will be lukewarm.The owner will provide ice and cups if you ask.The walls are quite thin so you can hear people talking in the surrounding rooms.Please be careful if you are nervous.Lights in the building will be turned off around 10pm to 11pm.All but the emergency lights are out, so it's very scary lolIt has a nice atmosphere, so I think it's okay to wander around, but it's slow, so please be quiet.There is no basement.There is a small vending machine.I know you're worried, but please don't open the storage room lolAlso, it can't be helped because it's deep in the mountains, but sometimes there are insects.When I told the owner, he was taking care of it with his practiced hands, and he said that since it was warm inside the building, he had no choice but to get inside.They rent skis, but they don't seem to rent snowboards.However, if you go to a ski resort, there are snowboard rental shops.Since I was heading there by train, I was able to send my luggage by courier in advance.You can also send your luggage on your way home.However, your luggage may be delayed due to bad weather, so it's best to have it delivered a few days before your stay.I wrote a lot about it, but I think fans of the game will definitely be satisfied with it.I can't help but want to go again!

Congratulations on your 30th anniversary!This time I visited in early September during the green season, and it was so cool in the evening that I didn't even need a fan.There is no air conditioning in each room, so be careful if you are sensitive to heat.You can't expect much soundproofing, so if you're concerned about it, you'll need to take measures.The owner and his wife are kind people, and I wonder if they're being too considerate. I'm so worried thatI've been getting questions about the game for many years, and it seems like I've gotten tired of it, so I almost never touch on the topic.However, I can see that they are maintaining the cleanliness and quality of the interior and the overall atmosphere of the pension so as not to ruin the image for the fans.Best of all, the food served is delicious! I think people who try to take photos may get so absorbed in the food that they forget about it.It seems that there are many repeat customers just for the food, even if they don't go on a pilgrimage to the game's sacred sites.I am also a repeat customer.

Purpose [Pilgrimage to sacred places]I was finally able to go. It's not Pension Shup...it's Knulp.When I opened the door, I was impressed to see the screen of some game coming straight into the room.The meals were very delicious both in the morning and in the evening, and I was also able to enjoy my long-awaited ``Mississippi Mud Cake''. Dinner is voluminous, so if you eat less, it might be difficult for you to reach that point.There is a travel notebook, and seeing each guest write down their own thoughts, I realized that it is loved by so many people!I stayed there in late July, and the average temperature at night is around 20 degrees Celsius, so it's a great place to get away from the heat!

This is the pension that was the setting for the game Kamaitachi Night.I used this on a family trip.First of all, what's amazing about it is that the food is as luxurious as a high-end restaurant, and everyone can say it tastes delicious.Moreover, the fact that it can be used for 10,000 yen per person, including accommodation, is an extraordinary deal.I think even people who don't know about Kamaitachi no Yoru will be satisfied.Also, my child had allergies and we had contacted them in advance, but they made a menu that accommodated them and my child was happy.The room had a gas stove.However, it does feel quite dry, so if you're concerned about it, you might want to bring a humidifier.The baths were separated by gender and were open 24 hours a day. However, it cannot accommodate a large number of people, so it was used by one group.The owner was also kind and gave me a very good impression.I would like to visit again in a different season.

It was Golden Week in 2022, and I stayed there on a family trip.As everyone has written in their reviews, this is a pension that was the setting for a certain sound novel game.As soon as I entered the pension, I was filled with nostalgia for playing in SFC when I was in high school.Since it's in the mountains, it's quiet and relaxing.What is especially noteworthy is the high quality of the food.It's really delicious, and everything is at a satisfying level.Of course, there was also the Mississippi Mud Cake, so I ordered it without hesitation.It was also delicious.There is no hair dryer, so I recommend bringing your own.I would love to visit you again.

From the night at Kamaitachi, my long-cherished wish came true and I was able to stay overnight. It felt like I was inside the game world and it was amazing. I'll visit you again next time!
