Although it has a good location, it is cheaper per person than a business hotel. I think they should raise the priceSome people say that the customer service is bad, but if you're looking for that at this low price, wouldn't it be better to stay at a business hotel?I think this is a place for people who don't care if it's cheap or bad.

It was my first time using this service, but as others have said, the customer service was not very good.It seems like there have been complaints like this for quite some time, but I'm disappointed that nothing seems to have changed. Also, the previous person's things were still in the refrigerator, which made me even more concerned. It's a shame because the interior and scenery of the log house were very nice.I don't know if I will use it again, but I think it will only get more bad reviews if we don't improve it soon. It may be an advantage that there are few users and it is quiet...

I went camping. It's cheap, spacious, and has electrical outlets (400 yen charge), and it's relatively close to the beach (it's a bit tiring to walk). I received a discount coupon for the hot springs.There was a cafe with an Instagram-worthy swing nearby.

I went to stay there in the summer for two years in a row. The rooms were luxurious.The second time I stayed, I stayed in a room with a sauna, and the sauna was great! ! In the first year, there were a few bugs in the room, but in the second year, there were no bugs (tears).Maybe the bugs can't be helped. There was a place to BBQ inside the cottage area, and there was play equipment next to it, which the kids really enjoyed. The play equipment can be used until 7pm, and we recommend having a BBQ while it's still bright out.

Stay in a comfortable cottage, watch the sunset over the Sea of ​​Japan, have a BBQ at night, and enjoy the starry sky. Eat while looking out at the Sea of ​​Japan.

Use the cottage.Check-in is at 16:00 and check-out is at 10:00 the next morning, and it seems that you can extend your stay by up to 2 hours for a fee.Pay the usage fee at the reception building, receive the key, and check in. When checking out, you will need to fold your futon and throw away your garbage at the garbage station next to the reception building.The room was clean and well-equipped with a bathroom, toilet, and kitchen, so I felt safe using it.For dinner, you can have yakiniku in the barbecue building or cook your own food indoors, but this time we bought ready-made meat from a local supermarket, and it was delicious and the right choice.Please bring a cooler and enjoy local food.・Foods Market Hook Taisha Hamayama Branch→A supermarket with delicious sushi near Shimane Winery! Other side dishes are also available! Don't forget the soy sauce and wasabi!・Odagawa Kamaboko store→A paste shop near Izumo Taisha Shrine. There is a parking lot opposite the store! Tempura and Noyaki make the best snacks!I haven't used the auto campsite, but I decided to take a tour as it may be used in the future.The sea cannot be seen at either site due to trees. From Site 5, you could almost see the sea through the gap, but it was just a feeling.Site 1 was located in the middle of a hill and seemed a little difficult to use.Both sites get extremely hot during the summer daytime, so I think a tarp is essential. It's a little cool in the morning, but it's probably best to avoid auto camping in midsummer.If you play in the sea, you can wash off sand etc. from the water tap next to the reception building. (Confirmation required)If you want to enjoy local ingredients, you can't go wrong with a lodge or cottage that has a refrigerator.
