I made a reservation because I was drawn to the reasonable room rate even though it was a Saturday. It's not that far from the national highway, so it's an easy location for sightseeing. The building attached to the cultural hall looks old and has the feel of a hospital. Since it has a large room, it is often used for club training camps.I got a room with a bathroom, so there was no problem. The door does not lock automatically, so be careful not to forget to lock it. There's plenty of space to take off your shoes inside, so it doesn't feel cramped. There was free Wi-Fi, but it was too weak in the rooms at the end of the room so I couldn't access it.There are three surprising points. When I opened the electric kettle to boil water, there was still unused water in the pot. I threw it away, filled it with new tap water to the maximum, boiled it to sterilize it, threw it away, and was finally able to boil mineral water. Bath and toilet detergent was placed on top of the toilet's water tank, mixed in with the body soap and conditioner-in-shampoo. It's a sight you don't see very often. I didn't have to worry about laying the futon myself, but there was an image on the wall with instructions on how to fold it. It really looks like a training camp, which is interesting.Dinner was timed starting every 30 minutes. After taking a seat and ordering a drink, a bowl of rice and miso soup are served. It doesn't seem to be an atmosphere where you can enjoy a leisurely meal, especially since it doesn't seem like the order of the food is taken into account even if you're a drinker. I wasn't able to take a photo of the important meat, but there was a fair amount of it. I think the taste was good too. However, it felt like a restaurant, so it was difficult to stay there for long.The one-night, two-board accommodation rate is cheap, but it's not a hot spring and it definitely feels like a training camp, so people who aren't visiting for mountain climbing may be a little surprised.Everyone who served us was very kind, so the imbalance was strange.

I used it at summer camp.This accommodation is located deep in Mt. Kiso.There is a large music hall next door, which is convenient, but the air conditioning in many of the halls is not working, so it can get quite hot in the summer.I heard that air conditioning costs are quite high, so I thought it would be important to check the budget for incidental equipment costs when holding a training camp or the like.The lawn outside the dormitory is wide and very beautiful, with a wonderful gradation with the mountain range.There's a drug store near the facility and a 7-Eleven a few minutes away by car, so I think you can get most of what you need there if something happens.The bath amenities ``shampoo and body soap'' are old-fashioned and refreshing, so I recommend bringing the ones you always use.

Every year in May or June, it is used as the venue for the general meeting of the Kiso Yoshinaka Historical Society. Spend two fulfilling days talking about history and sharing drinks with like-minded friends. In the mountains of Kisokoma, where the lingering snow still remains, I breathe in the ozone to my heart's content and look at the clear stream of melted snow flowing through my garden, which is very relaxing. The accommodation rates are reasonable, and although it's not a hot spring, the bathtub, which is open 24 hours a day, is well maintained and relaxing. The meals are not luxurious, but you can feel the care taken, and the breakfast is prepared with a variety of ingredients. The free coffee is also very delicious. This is a facility that can be enjoyed throughout the year. There is a golf course next door, and if you go down to the national highway, the roadside station is also nearby, so you can get souvenirs in time. Considering cost performance, 4.7 stars?I visited for the first time in three years now that the coronavirus has weakened, and I had a party with friends for the first time in a while. I forgot to take a photo, and it tasted better if I held out my chopsticks for a while! ️When I asked the locals, they told me that the chef had changed. It's ridiculous and very welcome. However, when I entered the room after the banquet, I found that the futon that was supposed to be laid out was not there!? When I looked at the wall, there was a sign showing how to lay and fold a futon. Is it self⁉️It became like a youth hostel⁉️⁉️⁉️In June 2020, I visited for the first time in a year. When I checked in at the front desk and asked for the futon, I was told that it was self-service. When I entered the room, feeling tired, I found that the huge poster of how to raise and lower the futon had disappeared.A small note had instructions on how to lay out the futon. Yes, it had changed to a semi-selfie.Considering the various circumstances, I can't help but think that there is nothing we can do about it. But it's still a hassle.

The room was clean, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. This is the best inn for sightseeing in Kiso by car. Surrounded by refreshing greenery, you can relax in the bath and go sightseeing in Kiso tomorrow. Please enjoy Mt. Komagatake at sunrise and Mt. Ontake at sunset \(^o^)/(^o ^)^_^♥

Every year, I go to Kisokoma Plateau with three families of children, but my own mountain hut doesn't have enough space, so I rely on Komao to take care of one family's needs. It's a good idea to stay in Kisokoma during the summer at a very low price, but the timing of reservations is difficult. The facilities aren't as perfect as a hotel, it's more like a training camp, but you'll be lucky if you can reserve a room with a bathroom. Considering the cost burden, you may want to choose this option.

I used it for the first time in three years, and it seems like the system has changed quite a bit.The food was very delicious.The facility itself is old, so you can't expect much from the rooms, but the usage fee is cheap, so it's a compromise. However, the inn will not be able to provide self-service futon bedding, which is a measure to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, nor will the inn be able to order instructions on how to fold the futon after use. I have used many cheap hotels, but this was my first experience.Also, even though it's night, the lights in the hallways and toilets aren't on, so you have to turn them on yourself when you use them, but it's hard to know where the switch is, so this needs to be improved.Also, since this is the age of the Internet, I would like to be able to use Wi-Fi. I was told that there are LAN cables for PCs, but I don't think there are many guests who bring their own computers with them.
