A wonderful facility that was renovated from a closed elementary school. Although the number of meals is not large,The food made with local ingredients is delicious and suits my taste, and I look forward to breakfast and dinner every time.It's a wonderful hostel that is often empty, but I feel like it's going to get a lot of buzz soon. You will be soothed by the starry sky at night and the sound of birds chirping when you take a walk in the morning. The staff are very kind and the hostel is very comfortable!Personally, it's a perfect accommodation.

Used when stopping by Fox Village.Although the school is said to have been closed down, there is only one small classroom that reminds us of the past.It has been beautifully renovated too.The gymnasium was not open.It's a shame because I wanted to see school-like places like the library and the nurse's office.The room itself is clean and comfortable.(However, there are many insects in the common spaces)7000 yen for 1 person without meals.There are no basic amenities like loungewear or toothbrushes (kettles and microwaves are shared in the hallway), and even though you think you're paying for the experience of staying at a school, it doesn't really feel like a school, so it's not recommended for everyone. I wondered if I could do it.I fully support the idea of preserving a historic school that has existed since the Meiji era in a different form.So I think the current situation is a waste.For example, I hope that efforts will be made to bring out the charm of the closed school and pass on its history to the next generation, such as setting up an exhibition room with the history of the school and photos from the past, and posting them in the hallway.

I was allowed to stay there during the funeral of the head family.My parents were originally graduates of this junior high school, so I went there thinking that they would like to let me stay there.The dinner and breakfast meals were also really delicious, using tempura and vegetables grown in Shichikashuku, such as wild vegetables from Shichikashuku.I would like to go againthank you

It's very simple but 👍 it's great.The bathroom is also nice and clean.It warms up a bit and then feels warm afterwards. Recommended for those who want to slowly look at the stars⭐️ and feel the atmosphere of the countryside.

Anyway, we had a quiet and relaxing time. The stars at night were amazing...the bath was clean and comfortable.Also, the rice was very delicious!home cooking. Feeling like you are eating something good for your body.Shichikashuku is close to soba, so I thought it would be a good place to stay for skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Women, don't forget to remove your loungewear and makeup ~ ← Who forgot?

A hostel that was renovated from an abandoned school with modern interiors.There are twin rooms, rooms with bunk beds, and large rooms with tatami mats, so if you stay in a group, you can feel like an elementary school forest school.The large public bath is also beautiful, and after taking a bath, you can play table tennis on the table tennis table that you can rent for 500 yen, which is sure to get heated.It is also possible to camp overnight in the square that was originally a schoolyard.It's perfect for a small start-up or a training camp for small to medium-sized businesses with 20 to 30 people.

Being able to choose between air conditioning and heating is a great thing for an accommodation in a mountainous area. Lossnay installation is also good.

I stayed for one night camping on the grounds rather than at a lodging facility. It's just a ground that used to be an elementary school. I wonder if it's not a registration at a campsite, but as a means of lodging for events etc.Facilities include no kitchen, poor drainage, and 2,500 yen for taking trash home. You can use the restroom inside the facility and the artificial hot spring for 500 yen.Shichikashuku is generally expensive for camping, but it doesn't feel particularly premium, and I don't think I would recommend a place like this to beginner campers.The staff are kind and the hotel facilities are clean, so it's better to use them.

It's mostly a town-run facility, renovated from an elementary school, but it looks like a business hotel. This is the ruins of a castle, so there are traces of the castle ruins on the mountain behind it. This is the ruins of Yunohara Castle, which Date Masamune attacked and defended.

I stopped by ♨️. It's a facility used by the former Yubara Elementary School, and although it's beautiful, it was unusually empty. It's hard to find if you miss the signboard along the road.
