I used it for camping, but there were some annoying campers who made me wonder if they were still there. (They make noise until midnight.)No one at the facility paid any attention to the facility, and even though they charged a fairly good rate, the facility was completely unmanaged.I will never come again.After that, please remove all nuisance campers from Japan.

I worked up a sweat after climbing Mt. Iwate. I was expecting a sulfur smell, but the water was like swimming pool water...The water pump was out of order, so it was just a public bath. The showers and ventilation equipment are also broken, so I guess it's getting old.

So old! ! ! Stayed in a cottage for 8 people during Obon. The smell is also musty. There will be no repeats here. And it's raining. It seems like they're setting up a manga corner at the Wakashiyu facility in Mukai, so it should be free for hotel guests. If we made it free for guests, it would be a bit more popular, but we'll create a manga corner! It's a mystery that I have stopped updating my Instagram since April. . In fact, when you look at the website, the prices are ridiculously high, as if they were conscious of Manyo no Yu. Even staying overnight costs money! ! ! Even wakashiyu costs money! Impossible! Why can't it be crushed?The hot water used to be a hot spring, but the pump broke and they probably don't have the money to fix it.The hot springs in Hachimantai are 10 minutes away by car, so it would be better to go there. By the way! ! ! There was a cottage where three people committed suicide a little more than 10 years ago, and although it is no longer rented out, it has not been demolished. The map was just filled in green. Impossible. By the way, I think it's number 9. There are no streets left! ! Too scary! Well, you might be able to see the stars when the sky is clear. If it's sunny, Mt. Iwate might be beautiful too. Surprisingly, there were no insects in the room during August Obon. However, the facility level was 5,000 yen per person, which I felt was seriously expensive for a room without meals. The four bunk beds lined up are like an outdoor activity and may be fun for children.

The water in the public bath was so hot that it stung my skin. Also, there were no street lights outside at night, so it was scary.If it's sunny, you can see the mountains, and it's a place rich in nature.
