Thank you for staying with us for one night.After the sauna, I had the best time ever on the large tatami mat under the starry sky.I would like to go there again with everyone.Thank you for your support.

This reservation did not include meals, but I was worried that my self-catering option might not work out. However, the kitchen facilities were very well equipped (especially for BBQ), and there was also a freezer and ice, which was a real help.You can also use the sauna, so it's great to be able to drink a cold beer after enjoying the sauna in this cold season!If you go outside at night, you may be able to see a herd of deer in the distance.

It was my first time trying glamping and it felt very refreshing.There was a very large space to enjoy on its own, and the children had a lot of fun running around inside.There are plenty of facilities, and although you may not be able to use them all during your stay, you may want to consider staying for several nights the next time you visit so you can relax even more.There are plenty of ingredients, but if you feel like you don't have enough or you don't have enough beer, you'll need to bring extra. As for local beer, two cans of Fujizakura beer are provided per person (there are no children).I'm really happy to be able to see Mt. Fuji in the morning. You can sunbathe on the nice terrace, and although it's a bit cold, luckily it's very comfortable on sunny days.

I visited in the summer.This may be my first time doing glamping, so my comments may be a little uninformed, but it wasn't a very good experience, so I'll write down some of my concerns.It can't be helped because it's deep in the mountains, but there were so many insects that I couldn't stay outside. (Insects had invaded the room as well...)In particular, the BBQ (cooking area) space had only a roof and no doors or other enclosures, so insects such as moths could enter as much as they wanted. I finished cooking and had no choice but to return to the tent right away.The rice was so delicious that I felt it was a waste.I think it's okay if you love nature and don't mind insects.

I went on a cold day in mid-November.The tent in the bedroom had heating, and the other tent had a Dyson heater for the kotatsu, so we had no trouble staying indoors. The kitchen is simply partitioned off, so the wind comes in and it gets cold, but if you have a BBQ grill, you can get over it.The only loungewear provided is a bathrobe, so I think it would be better to bring a sweatshirt or something like that during the cold months after December.There were 4 bottles of beer, 2 bottles of Pocari, 2 bottles of Oronamin C, and juice in the refrigerator.There are some snacks such as cheese and crackers available, but it is better to bring your own food and alcohol.There are no shops within walking distance.All amenities are provided, including lotion. There is also a Type C smartphone charger.As others have written, I think it would be nice to be able to see the stars more clearly if you could turn off all the lights.When I went outside the facility, closed the door, and looked up at the sky, I saw a very beautiful starry sky, so I think it would be great to be able to see it inside the facility.I am very satisfied with the high level of facilities, amenities, cleanliness, etc. I would love to visit you again.A cup of coffee in the morning that you can make yourself is really the best.

Overall, it was in a very relaxing location, with a lot of private space, so I was able to relax very much.・Guest roomIt was just completed and it was beautiful.There were four single beds, so you could sleep on them together, but it was a little troublesome because the beds were light and moved easily.It is fully equipped with a facade, lamps, and a projector ✨ Games included Jenga, playing cards, and UNO. I thought it would be even better if there were board games.There is also air conditioning, so it's very warm even in winter!However, stink bugs keep coming in.Maybe it's the outside air on top? It seemed like they were coming in from...I saw at least 5 of them in my room while I was there. I wish they would take measures such as installing nets to prevent anything from getting in.・Living tentThere is another dome separate from the guest room, but I didn't use it at all. There is no air conditioning, so I don't think you can use it in summer or winter.·kitchenIt was very easy to use and it was very clean. The grill is also gas, so you can start BBQing right away without using charcoal!There are just too few plates. I had a little trouble because it was small. There's only one pot and no frying pan. This was very inconvenient. I think it would be better to have at least a frying pan as equipment.If you're staying without meals, they won't lend you any seasonings, so it's better to bring your own! You can use the water server✨It also helped that we had ice!・Sauna and bathIt was great.It takes an hour for it to warm up, so it's best to put it on first when it's warmed up.The bathroom was also relatively clean and usable right away!The zatyu was so dirty that I couldn't tell if it had been cleaned or not, so I never used it.There is a screen, but I had to bring the projector from the room to see it, so I didn't do it because it was a hassle.I couldn't lie down because I didn't know how the tatami mats were cleaned or how they were cleaned.The chairs were perfect!The space itself was very private and relaxing, so it was a lot of fun!There are two buildings, A and B, but it is not written anywhere in advance, so which one is it? It became.It was a bit of a mystery because it seemed like it was on a first-come, first-served basis.I think it would be better to be able to choose when making a reservation.The check-in time is 16:00, so it may be nice in the summer when the days are long, but in the winter it gets dark and cold quickly, so it's better to check in at 2:00 p.m. since the sauna and other facilities are well-equipped. I felt grateful. I was a little disappointed that I didn't have time during the day. It takes an hour for the sauna to heat up, and by the time I waited, it was already 5pm.As mentioned in other reviews, the electricity that illuminates the passageway outside is so bright that you can't see the stars at all.I thought it would be better if it could be adjusted.I think it will be a nicer place to stay if we make some improvements!

Since we haven't posted any reviews since we just opened, I'll write a slightly longer and more detailed review.★AtmosphereOnce inside the facility, it was a completely private space where you could relax and not worry about your surroundings!With a stylish dome-shaped tent and a skeleton living room, we had an extraordinary glamping camping experience that was different from normal camping or a hotel, and the night went by quickly.If it's sunny, you can see Mt. Fuji right in front of you, and the location is great.When it gets dark, the dome tent and the entire facility will be lit up, creating a beautiful and beautiful space! However, thanks to this illumination, the starry sky is so bright that you can't see it clearly! ! I think this is a blind spot.I would like the facilities to be improved so that the lights can be turned off so that we can see the starry sky.★Buildings and equipmentThere were four buildings in the main accommodation dome: a skeleton living dome, a dining kitchen, a toilet/shower room, and a sauna room, and outside there was an open-air bath, a cold bath, a mysterious sitting bath theater, and a tatami mat space.The tatami floor space is a place where you can lie down and look at the starry sky, as shoes are strictly prohibited, or you can put a reclining chair and relax while looking at Mt. Fuji. Without any explanation, it was a complete mystery space.There are wireless speakers inside the tent, so you can play your favorite music while eating, bathing, or wherever you like. There is also a wireless projector, so you can project your favorite images from your smartphone, but be careful not to make the volume too loud as it can be heard by neighboring sections.I would like to have a campfire when camping, but since this area is a nature reserve, bonfires and fireworks are prohibited.Instead, the dome tents were equipped with entertainment items such as playing cards and board games.★RoomMt. Fuji could be seen outside the large window of the dome-shaped tent! The interior is stylish with wooden pillars and floors.It was fully air-conditioned, had a small refrigerator, a charging outlet near the bed, high-speed Wi-Fi, and plenty of amenities, making it a comfortable stay with the same facilities as a hotel!★Customer service, serviceUnattended check-in, check-out, etc. All cooking, bath and sauna heating, etc. are self-service, so you will never meet the staff. You don't have to worry about other customers!★MealsI used the 2-meal plan so I could go empty-handed.Ingredients and dishes were already prepared separately for dinner and breakfast in the commercial refrigerator in the kitchen.All the soft drinks and local beers in the fridge are free to drink!There was also ice in the water server and freezer.The BBQ meat was tender, juicy and delicious!What was disappointing was the Fujiyoshida udon at the end... Although the reservation page said it was handmade Fujiyoshida udon, it was actually cheap frozen udon from the supermarket. The udon soup stock is a sweet, industrial-grade udon soup that is far from the Fujiyoshida udon soup, which is disappointing.In the end, I wasn't satisfied with udon, so after checking out, I went back to Tokyo to eat authentic Fujiyoshida udon (lol)Also, the salad dressing and yakiniku sauce look like they are made for commercial use and are not good. I think it's better to use local seasonings and ingredients that are sold at roadside stations.For breakfast, the coffee and hot sandwiches made by grinding your own beans were delicious, and I also liked that the toppings were corned beef instead of ham.However, the stick salad was limp and the cut fruits were dry and not fresh at all.I think this can't be helped since I made it the day before, but it was a disappointing point.One thing I can say about both dinner and breakfast is that the accommodation rates are high, so I wanted the ingredients and dishes to be of high quality.★Sauna, bathYou can see Mt. Fuji from the sauna!The bath was boiled water and bath salts were provided in the room, but it was a luxury inn... The bath was made with local Yamanashi Yunohana (a hot spring ingredient), which gave it a special feeling that was different from the hot water you usually take at home. I want it.Also, the official website states that you should bring a swimsuit, but the facility is a completely private space, so if you know each other, you probably don't need a swimsuit.★OthersThere is no convenience store nearby.The roadside station Narusawa is about 10 minutes away by car. This roadside station has a campground nearby, so it's perfect for procuring ingredients, with a wide variety of alcohol, vegetables, meat, sausage, venison, and wild boar.★OverviewThe price is high, so I think if they could provide something of a higher quality, I would be more satisfied.Perhaps because it has only been open for a short time, there were a few things that I would like to see improved. However, spending time in a quiet and slightly rich camp in a completely private space is an experience like no other and will leave you with fond memories.
