It was a nice atmosphere surrounded by trees.There are plenty of facilities such as a fishing pond and hot springs, so it looked like it would be fun to bring children as well.The temperature of the hot spring is higher in the back.

The cost performance is too bad!To enjoy Aso,Lodge!Comes with hot spring!I was drawn to it and made a reservation.I think 8,000 yen for two people is ok.I thought, but actuallyWhen I paid at the reception, I was charged 12,000 yen.Does the breakdown include parking lot fees and garbage disposal fees?I was surprised.I felt like I was charged 4,000 yen more than the listed price💦I don't think there's any malicious intentIt didn't feel very good.Toilets, kitchens, bathrooms, garbage dumpsIt is cluttered, andIt was quite old and generally unhygienic.UnfortunatelyI really don't understand why the score is so high.Unlimited bathing!That was good.

Our family of 4 went for 2 nights and 3 days.Because it's a plateau, even during the hottest part of Obon, the temperature was a cool 29 degrees Celsius, and the pool had hot spring water, so the kids were having fun playing there until 7pm.There were a lot of people fishing and the fish were wary, so I was only able to catch three fish in an hour, but the salt-grilled fish was very delicious.The hot springs are open as much as you like from 5pm to 10am, so I went there many times.There was a large roadside station 5 minutes away by car, and the local sake, jersey soft serve, and horse sashimi were delicious.The toilets were a bit disappointing due to the aging of the facilities, and the price was over 20,000 yen for 2 nights and 3 days, so I felt it was expensive considering the facilities. All I want is a bath chair and shampoo/body soap.However, I was able to enjoy the pool, fishing, and open-air bath, and it became a very fond memory.

I went camping with my family for the first time in a while. There is a fishing pond, a pool, and warm water that I had a lot of fun with the kids. When you look up at the sky in the all-you-can-use open-air bath, you can see the stars and it's amazing. I will go again.

The hot springs are open-air and you can use them as much as you want from 5pm to 10am the next morning, which is great, but the toilet and cooking area are from the Showa era, the site is a mess, and it's very painful to ride a bike.
