Although the distance to the ski resort in the morning is a bit long, it does not affect the score.----------------------------------CommentsThe boss, Mr. Shimizu, is very amiable. You can chat with other tourists in the common area in the evening and learn more. In addition, if you come to ski in winter, you can ask Mr. Shimizu in advance about the price of the Madarao Plateau Ski Resort cable car pass. Ask Mr. Shimizu during the 23-24 snow season. The official website of Madarao Plateau offers a price of about 25% off. It is recommended to buy good ingredients at supermarkets in Iiyama city before going up the mountain. There are few shops around and you can only buy simple snacks and instant noodles. In summary It is a very good and warm B&B.

I enjoyed a cozy glamping experience with my family.During summer vacation, my family of four stayed in a large tent permanently set up outside. I was a little worried when I made the reservation because it was cheap for Obon. (lol)As the owner says, it is not so-called luxurious glamping, but a functional and comfortable camping style glamping.I bought some ingredients on the way, stopped at a hot spring, and then visited. They will provide most of the things you need for a barbecue, and there is a sink in the cottage next to you that you can use.The barbecue space was so spacious that it had a large table and chairs and could accommodate 4 people!The owner came over for dinner and we had a fun time taking pictures and talking with him♪The starry sky was wonderful!It was summer so it was cool and I came across a raccoon on my morning walk, which surprised me♪One thing I would like to note is that it seems to depend on the day, but I was probably bitten by a gnat during dinner, and my feet were itchy for a while. I wish I had brought insect repellent spray.As an option, we added the Nojiri Lake SUP experience and all-you-can-eat oven-baked pizza, which was fun, delicious, and amazing!It was an inn that I really want to go to again, so much so that I don't want to tell you about it ♪ Thank you so much ^^

A stylish lodge run by ski enthusiasts, Raven will also provide backcountry and sidecountry assistance for a fee!You can also camp, and there is also a sauna 💡He knows every nook and cranny of the ski resorts around here, so he can tell you where it's quite interesting and fun! Yoshinoya will also give you recommendations based on the snowfall, so you can rely on Yoshinoya!The price is also reasonable.It's a place where the snow is deep, so it's better to bring a shovel or something when you come.

Although I am not a guest, I would like to write a review to express my gratitude.Our family was staying at another facility in Madarao Kogen, but we asked the owner of Raven to use SUP for activities.It was the first time for a family of four to experience SUP at Lake Nojiri, but the explanations were very easy to understand and kind, and we didn't feel like it was a tour bound by rules, so we were free to do whatever we wanted! He looked at me with warm eyes.Furthermore, he took some wonderful photos with his single-lens reflex camera and sent them to me, so it was a really good memory!Thanks to this, my elementary school child's dream of becoming an outdoor instructor has changed lolThank you very much to the owner! I would like to stay here next time.

If it's cheap on Cansel, you can stay there for 5,000-6,000 yen, so it's still good, but when I look at other sites, it can cost more than 9,000 yen, which is unbelievable.If it was 5,000 yen, I would still tolerate it, but at 9,000 yen, this hotel is quite expensive. Find another place to stay.The room is dirty and not cleaned properly. Maybe they change the level of cleaning depending on the price. It's so dirty that I can only imagine that. Nearby hotels fill up at the last minute, but this one stays until the last minute and is cheaper. A lodging that is only used when you are really in trouble. It would be better to eat dinner at another hotel. Even if a room is not available, you can often reserve meals at other inns.
