Thank you for your help during the photo shoot in Urabandai.A heartwarming pension full of hospitality.The location is in the area where many pensions are located in Urabandai, and I think it is a place with good access as it is close to the entrance.The parking lot was located below the pension and there was plenty of space.I carried a small suitcase up a hill without any problems. Our room was on the second floor, but the master carried us to our room. Also, after checking out, they carried my luggage to the parking lot downstairs. This was the first time I had received such a response.The inside of the pension is not a new building, but it is well-maintained and clean, and I felt comfortable during my stay.This pension is run by the master and his wife, and both of them are kind-hearted and I was able to spend a peaceful time there. I had a great time chatting with the master about photography for a long time.The cafeteria was stocked with water, coffee, hot water and tea bags, and snacks.The dinner and breakfast meals were also very delicious.The bathroom was thoroughly cleaned. There were also soaps and lotions made by the owner.I would also like to find an opportunity to visit you.

I had the most relaxing time ever. The hospitality of the owner couple was wonderful, and the food was incredibly delicious. It seems that the owner also acts as a guide and kindly taught us in detail about the history of Bandai Kogen. The interior was also very lovely, and we spent a relaxing time in the lounge with a calm atmosphere. I will definitely come back.

? Ten years ago, when I had just entered the workforce, four of us took care of him on a company trip.It still looks the same as it did back then, and even after I stepped inside, I thought, ``Wow, this feels so nostalgic.''I remember the food being very delicious, and this time it lived up to my expectations.The bacon, jam, and dessert cake were also handmade, and other dishes made with local ingredients were also made.When I remembered how delicious the beef stew was that time, I tried the beef stew again this time🎉Ah, it was delicious after all, and I was immersed in memories of my youth.The owner is also a guide certified by the Japan Mountain Guide Association, and apparently holds events such as mountain climbing and trekking.Highly recommended for those who love mountains.It's a calm inn that is very comfortable for people like me who don't climb mountains.

The boss is very kind. The cabin on the mountain has an exotic style. The room has a kerosene heater and is very warm.

Stayed on October 31, 2022 to see the autumn leaves. ||I don't really like the fancy food and same-on-the-street service at big hotels, so I often stay at small hotels when I go on vacation. …
