The place is very rich in nature, and the staff are kind and courteous. The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable. One night is not enough.

The night view from beneath the steel dome was absolutely beautiful. Both the manager and the front desk staff were very nice. We received some delicious yuzu at the camp reception.It was nice that they also had souvenirs from Yuru Camp△. I would like to come again.The road is narrow so please be careful. It looks like there will be deer, but not bears.

We stayed at the mountain site.The steel-framed site looks just like the movie ``Yuru Camp△'' and the night sky is probably beautiful.Unfortunately it was raining. (T.T)For sites A and B, park your car on the side street above the restrooms.Site C is often advertised as allowing you to park your car next to the toilet and bring your luggage in, but if you are not confident in driving, it is better to carry your luggage from the parking lot, although it may be a little difficult.This time too, a light passenger car was about to fall from the side road above, and was somehow pulled up by a tow truck.The bathroom, toilet, and kitchen are also clean.This is a great camping experience, so please enjoy it safely.

I came here for the Yuru Camp movie!The only elements that were similar to those in the movie were the steel frames, but each site was very spacious, so we were able to relax and camp!Coming this far is difficult unless you normally drive on mountain roads, and the signal is almost impossible to reach, but I think it's the perfect place for people who want to enjoy camping completely cut off from everyday life!Also, when I checked out, the receptionist told me about various sightseeing spots around Minobu, so I had a lot of fun sightseeing afterwards!Recommended for people who want to enjoy camping in nature!

The road is quite steep, so please drive while praying that there are no oncoming cars! Unfortunately, the bath was broken so I couldn't use it, but they gave me a discount coupon and some coins. The customer service of the staff was also kind and polite. You can use the restrooms and vending machines inside the building. The view from the hill is also great! We also got to see the bird cage that appears in the movie Yuru Camp△.
