About 10 of my friends and family took care of me.In the garden, there were hammocks and small play equipment handmade by the owner, which the children enjoyed.At night, we had a relaxing time BBQing there, making a bonfire with the firewood we had chopped ourselves, and watching movies on the projector.When I turned down the lights, I could see the starry sky so beautifully that I thought it was worth it.The room was equipped with various facilities, but I liked that there were two large baths that could be used smoothly even by a large number of people.I will use it again if I have the opportunity.

I used it the other day with about 10 friends.Both the kitchen and bathroom are large enough to accommodate multiple people.There are also picture books and chairs for small children, so it is recommended for those with children.

I stayed for one night with my friends and children. The bath was large and there were many guest rooms, so it was spacious enough to accommodate a large number of people. There was play equipment for small children to play outside, and they had a lot of fun.At night, we had a BBQ outside, the kids enjoyed the outdoor theater, and we were very satisfied with the spectacular starry sky. Also, the owner told me that there are parks and lakes nearby, so I was able to enjoy nature and enjoy it to the fullest.I would definitely use it again.

The other day, I visited with my family of 9 and 2 dogs🐶😊As soon as I entered the lodge, I saw a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a large bath.As an adult, I got very excited.My 89 year old mother was also very happy to have a bed. (It would be even nicer if there were handrails on the stairs 💦)Pet plates and sheets were always on hand, which was very helpful.There is a lot of greenery around the lodge, so you can enjoy it in summer and winter.This time I visited in the summer, but I wanted to try it out for skiing and snowboarding in the winter as well.

Thank you for taking care of my friend's family and their children.As soon as we arrived, we found insects and frogs behind the lodge, caught fish in the river, and then the lodge staff taught us how to handle the fish we had just caught, and the children were able to handle all of the fish and felt their growth. . My child didn't really like fish, but he seemed to enjoy it so much that he ate it all from head to tail. Afterwards, we watched a movie outdoors, and the children were impressed by the starry sky. The next day, we had a lot of great experiences such as seeing waterfalls and riding canoes!On the way back, we also encountered a group of wild monkeys eating chestnuts!I was really glad that I went because I was able to see the children's growth in a good environment. I would love to come visit you again.Ever since I came back to Tokyo, my eczema hasn't stopped. Maybe I'm allergic to the city.
