The day before yesterday (September 15th), I went to Miyamae Elementary School for an overnight experience. The staff was kind, the food was delicious, and the rooms were spacious. I almost got lost lol It's close to the ocean and close to the mountains. The・It felt natural! There was also a campfire site.Director Fujiwara, thank you very much for your time today. I would like to go again

I used it at GW. The building itself does not have a kitchen, only a bath and toilet. Therefore, it is better to bring your own tableware, and you cannot wash the dishes after meals.I didn't feel any particular inconvenience.It seems that it is mainly used by students for outdoor activities, but it was sufficient. It feels like I've traveled back in time to my student days. I want to use it again.

I'm disappointed in the food. I would have liked at least miso soup to come with dinner.
