Although I only used the bath, it was a great value for money. This equipment is hard to find for 500 yen!

We used an old cottage on a family trip.Check-in will be done at the Oshiba Kogen management office.Please note that the manager will be gone at night.I was confused and didn't know where it was for a while.After receiving information about your accommodation and nearby facilities at the management office, you can drive to the cottage and park in front of it.The old cottage didn't have an air conditioner or TV and it was midsummer, so it felt a bit hot and humid, but from night to morning it was cool and comfortable.There is a barbecue area in front of each cottage, and we were told that we could even use handheld fireworks.There is a bathing facility on the premises, and there are convenience stores, restaurants, and home centers within a short drive, so you won't have any problems even if you come empty-handed.Although it was a little inconvenient at times, the children seemed to enjoy the unusual feeling.

It was an old type of room for 5 people, but it was very clean inside.Personally, I would have preferred the bath and toilet to be separate!However, I ended up taking a bath in the nearby Oshiba no Yu, so I didn't use it in the end.

I stayed for 2 nights in "Yasuragi" with my family. The place that functions as the front desk is a little far away, so it's a bit troublesome when it's raining. However, it was wonderful inside. It was made by BESS in 2020, and it was beautiful. There are also tableware and pots, so you can cook your own meals.We enjoyed yakiniku on the first day and takoyaki on the second day in a covered area in the garden. There were no mosquitoes at all, perhaps because of the altitude, so the mosquito coils I brought with me were useless.There is a U-shaped groove where you can bring your own grill and BBQ, and I think you can also use a Dutch oven to cook food. By the way, the cottage was all electric.There was a little dirt in the bathtub, so I found a sponge and detergent from under the sink and washed it before entering. No problem at all.There was nothing to criticize anywhere, but there was a problem with people from the Kanto region staying in the other building, Nukumori. Despite the capacity of 10 people, there were about 12 adults and a large number of children, and they were having a loud party from the evening until late at night. Even though pets are not allowed, I brought my dog ​​and it was barking, and there were 6 cars alone, and the parking lot was being used without my permission, so I didn't feel good, but since I've been living next door for a short time, I just kept quiet and put up with it. I did. I understand that it can be used cheaply by dividing 44,000 yen by the number of animals, but I can't stop violating the rules. His laughing voice was really loud and made me feel uncomfortable at the cottage. It was my bad luck.
