Used by a group for skiing. The owner was very friendly, the game food was delicious, and there was a space for the kids to play, so we had a very comfortable stay. It was close to the ski resort, so I wanted to go there again. I would like to go there in the summer too.

11,000 yen for 2 adults including breakfast. Just like in a guest house, you can freely use the microwave, refrigerator, dining room, water heater, tableware, microwave, toaster, etc. The room is Japanese style. It seemed like it had just been renovated and everything was clean. Breakfast is just rice and miso soup, so you have to buy eggs and natto (50 yen each) separately. All amenities are charged separately (100 yen each)There is a playroom for small children on the first floor, so my 3-year-old daughter was having fun playing there.Since the distance is 1500m, it was very cool at 20℃ even in midsummer.

I think small children will be very happy with the large play area for children.However, it is an older inn with many children and the soundproofing is not good, so it may not be suitable for people who are concerned about children's voices.

We visited in mid-July, when the daylilies along the Venus Line are in full bloom. It was a comfortable stay for 4 people including an infant for 13,000 yen (light breakfast included). It feels similar to a training camp, but there are two baths that can be used alternately every hour, and I felt that I could stay there without worrying too much about other guests.By the way, this inn also offers a paid rental service for competitive mountain bikes called SPECIALIZED, which I used with my kids the next day. The staff kindly gave us a lecture on how to ride a mountain bike while riding around the inn, which was fun for me and my children.I think this inn is perfect for families and young people who are cost-effective and want to enjoy the outdoors in and around Megami Lake. However, since he is currently managing the restaurant by himself, he may need to be careful if it is crowded, but it may not be helped if you consider the cost performance. I think I would like to bother you again.

I stayed for 2 nights in late July. I was very satisfied. There is a children's room on the first floor, and the children were very excited as soon as they entered. The room we stayed in was clean and spacious enough for our family of three. The moment I entered the room, it was hot, so I was scared for a moment because I'm sensitive to heat, but there was a circulator, and when I opened the window, it was very cool outside, and in the morning it was too cold, so in the end I was able to spend a comfortable time. There are two private baths on the first floor, and it may get crowded at times, but we took a bath after 8:30, so we didn't have to wait long. You can also rent a hair dryer. There was also a washing machine. For breakfast, we had free rice and miso soup with lots of delicious ingredients (I was lucky because the miso soup was sometimes available instant). Eggs and natto were sold for 50 yen each, and vegetables were also sold for 100 yen a bag. Breakfast was also very satisfying. You can use the kitchen on the first floor as you like, so you can cook for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also microwaves, refrigerators, and toasters on the first and second floors. For dinner, we enjoyed a barbecue in the space in front of the facility, although there was an additional charge. I asked for a course that I could enjoy without any preparation, and I was satisfied with the ingredients and quantity. Also, I received a lot of kind follow-up, and I really enjoyed it.You can also walk around Megami Lake, catch bugs, play in the water, take a boat ride (Megami Lake Center), have a leisurely picnic, and enjoy smoking and coffee. Before I knew it, I was not consuming anything at all. I would like to go again.Whenever I stay at a facility like this, I am a little intimidated by the atmosphere of the staff. This person was very nice and kind, so that was also great.

Although it is near Goddess Lake, you cannot see the lakeside when going for a day BBQ camp. Since the road is right in front of you, you will be worried about cars and other people when camping. Also, since the parking lot space is a little far away, I think it would be difficult to carry your luggage from the parking lot to the BBQ site. (Parking is prohibited within the day-trip BBQ site)It says that those staying overnight can use this BBQ site, so I think this space is probably just a "bonus" for those staying overnight, and is not suitable for those who seriously want to enjoy day-trip BBQ. Ta. (At least that's how I felt...) There are too many cars passing by to pitch a tarp or have a simple meal as a day camper, and the roof of the bonfire hut you can rent is too low for adults to use. I felt that it would be difficult.Regarding customer service, I made an advance reservation online and checked in between 10:00 and 10:30 on the day, but no one was at the reception desk. There was a mobile number written at the reception desk that said, ``If you have any questions, please call us.'' I called, and after a while, an employee came to check in with me. He was a very kind person, but he didn't really explain the terms of use or location of the camp, so I asked him, "Where should I camp?" and he guided me to the designated spot. The inside of the store is clean and the employees are friendly, but the customer service made me worry that my reservation details were not shared.I made a reservation online after looking at the photos on the reservation site and website, but I regret that I should have called ahead to confirm the location and terms and conditions. However, the image in the photos was too different from the reality (all the photos were taken close together, perhaps because the scenery wasn't that good), so I thought it would have been more enjoyable if they had improved on that.
