This is an amusement facility located on the south side of Kakui Island that stretches from the coast to the mountains. It is located approximately 3 km from the main road leading to the villa area, along a narrow road that is a mixture of paved and unpaved roads.After going 1.2 km, there is a gate where you call and ask for a key number to enter.You can tour the facility by paying an admission fee of 300 yen, but we recommend contacting us in advance.The road is narrow, uneven, and gravel, making it difficult for large or luxury cars, and for car enthusiasts, as there are branches sticking out.There are cottages and a campsite on the premises, and you can enjoy kayaking on the coast.The staff are kind and likable.Recommended for those who want to relax in an empty place.However, we recommend that you do some shopping.

This is the place where I went camping before.It seemed like a deserted island, and even though it was quite large, there was only one other customer besides our group! ︎This is a hidden gem♪The manager also told me that I was free to play as I pleased, so I had a lot of fun fishing and walking around the rocky area.I think I'll go again when it gets warmer!! ︎

I did a little searching and found out that the road was bad, but I regret it if I think it's the same as other camping facilities!Short vehicle height is absolutely not allowed! ! !Even a normal car has a high chance of getting a flat tire!Maybe it would be better if the roads were paved or maintained?I visited here at the preview stage, but I doubt I'll ever visit again due to the roughness of the road.I like cars, so if you're a car lover, you should avoid visiting because your car will get damaged.

As expected! Seto Inland Sea! First time kayaking in the ocean! You can enjoy it even with elementary school students! However......the road to Mahoroba......is a bad road, and if we miss each other and lose points......it might be scary... The location was great!

It's like a student camp, the lodging is expensive, you don't get proper bedding, you don't even have a towel, and the cooking utensils are unsanitary even if you cook your own meals.

It was a long time ago, but it was fun to stay in a pit-style house and cook a pot inside, but the lamp turned pitch black with soot, and I unexpectedly ended up in a dark pot.
