Customer service◎Sleeping comfort○Taste◎[Mountain Villa Ao] SeiryokanA guesthouse near a forest with a river on its side, where both adults and children can enjoy BBQ, a large public bath, giant nagashi somen, hand-picking sweetfish and amago, and a charcoal grilling experience.The number of people is 5 to 10 people. Approximately 80 people can stay if all the rooms are occupied.It is run by an old man, and you can prepare everything from preparing Nagashi Somen to hand-grilling and skewering sweetfish and sweetfish, preparing charcoal, and taking a bath.He is a very kind person who will come to check on you and give you local information if you ask him.The river is a 1-minute walk away, and you can swim right after getting off the property. The river is a little-known spot, and there is a swimming spot nearby where dozens of cars are parked, but there are only two groups of people swimming there, and some are shallow to about 2m deep, so it's a lot of fun. Furthermore, the facility provides play equipment such as canoes and river boards that you would not normally be able to experience, so you can have a lot of fun in the summer.There is no air conditioning in the room, but there is a huge fan that gets quite cold at night, so you can sleep well.It is quite well stocked with refrigerators, gas ranges/gas stoves, cooking tables, kitchens, washing machines, toasters, frying pans, etc.Upon arrival, I found a beetle. There are many chestnut and cherry trees, and you can enjoy autumn leaves and cherry blossom viewing in every season.It seems that the facility was featured in the Starry Sky Restaurant (Daisuke Miyagawa, Ai Tominaga, etc.) a few years ago.
