It's popular and always full during children's holidays. I would love to stay at a lodge.I borrowed the toilet several times, and the room was very clean and tidy. You can pick up Chiang Kai-shek along the river in the back, so I stayed nearby every year and stopped by.

Updated on 2023/6/3!pet cabinDelivering mountain climbing informationI have used this cabin many times.Delivering information only because we use it!With the coronavirus restrictions lifted, the big changes are that the tea utensils in the cabin can now be used, and cabin guests can now enter the large communal bath in the main building.☆Cabin information☆Advice for those planning to stay in A-3 and B-3 pet wingIt is not possible to specify cabin A or B.However, if you will be accompanied by a person with a physical disability such as a wheelchair, please let us know when making a reservation by phone and consideration will be given.Some people have written reviews about the interior details of the cabin, so instead, we will introduce things that are useful and necessary to bring with you.★Ingredients/seasonings★Garbage bags (several bags for separating garbage)★Disinfecting sheet★Hair dryer (rented at the front desk)★Toiletries (several face towels are useful)★Bath towel★Clothing (don't forget your pajamas)★Pet supplies (don't forget toilet sheets)★Wrap (used for microwave oven/preservation)★Rubber band★Aluminum foil (used for toaster oven)★My slippers (always available)Refrigerator cleanYou may be reluctant to put bread etc. directly into the toaster oven, so we recommend using aluminum foil.Most of the cooking utensils are used, so if you are concerned about them, you may want to bring your own cooking utensils.Sand at the bottom of the bath? rust? When I drained the water from the bathtub during cleaning, I found a considerable amount of brownish sediment.I was sweating after climbing the mountain, so I went in without worrying. .I just boiled the tap water and drank it without checking. .When I passed a water source on the way up the mountain, I saw a construction excavator parked there, so I wonder if the stream was the cause.Or is it due to aging water pipes running into the cabin? In particular, Kyukamura didn't say anything about water. . .It seems that you can borrow a hair dryer at the front desk, but if you bring your own MyDra, it will be a hassle to get back and forth to the main building if you forget to borrow one (lol)Slippers are a must as there are many floors; slippers are always available in the cabin.It's fine if you don't mind, but it's more comfortable if you have your own slippers.The bedding is hygienic as the sheets are rented.It's a cotton futon so it's heavy. . The blanket is also heavy (tears).There is no problem with the mattressIt might be more comfortable if you have your own blanket or blanket.If you are particular about it, it is a good idea to bring a pillow as well.Please take your trash home with you or throw it away in the trash bin behind the main building.Garbage bags specifically for food waste will be handed out at reception.The garbage disposal site has garbage bins separated into garbage, combustible, non-combustible, cans, plastic bottles, and trays.〈Hotel rules during the coronavirus pandemic〉The representative will check in at the reception desk and pay on the spot.Get the keys and sheets and enter the cabinUse the large public bath in the main building○Clean the cabin when leaving the roomReturn used sheets, keys, and questionnaire forms to the front desk.〈Water Questions〉The question "What is the sediment that settles in the bathtub the next day?" remained unanswered.Contact Kyukamura directlyQuestion 1: What is the precipitate?Answer: sand particlesQuestion 2: What is the cause?Answer: Problem with the filter at the water source of the stream in the upstream area + water gets mixed into the water because it is often cloudy during the rainy seasonQuestion 3: Does it have any effect on the body?Answer: The water has passed a water quality test and there are no particular problems.Question 4: Will there be no contamination?Answer: The water source is currently under construction, but once it is finished, there will be no contamination.In fact, sand particles are so fine and light that the state of precipitation cannot be confirmed until after a day and a night.It cannot be confirmed immediately by pouring it into a transparent cup in the kitchen.If you are concerned about drinking, you can also bring your own water.No problem with washing etc.The end date for construction at the water source is unknown, but it is expected to be completed soon.As of June 3, 2023, the completion of construction is not confirmed.Compared to A-3 (capacity 5), the 8 tatami room is almost rectangular, so it would be too cramped to lay out 5 futons (it's okay if you force yourself to do so), and I think the same is true for B-3 (capacity 4).It might be safer to plan for capacity minus 1 for both.During the rainy season, a moisture absorber is placed in the kitchen.The next day, the tatami and futon felt damp. (No problem for one night or two days)After June, there will be a few cypresses indoors, and horseflies will start appearing outside, so be careful.☆About the cabin floor plan☆Cabin B-3 has a capacity of 4 people and has a great floor plan.A-3 feels small because the table is surrounded by kitchen utensils such as the cooking space and refrigerator in the kitchen.This is wheelchair accessible, so the hallways and toilets are designed to be wide, so I think there's nothing we can do about it.On the other hand, the A-3 has a separate table from the cooking space, refrigerator, etc., so it is nice to be able to use it as a spacious living room.I think pets will also be happy because there is a cage in the same space.The changing room, bath, and toilet in the bathroom are smaller than A-3, but it is not difficult to use.I also like that hot water supply is not difficult unlike A-3.The bedroom is quite cramped with a futon for 4 people, so it's best for 3 people.If you lay out futons for 4 people side by side, the futons will overlap each other, making it look like a partition (personally, I don't think it's too warm unless it's summer).The outside deck is larger and has a better location compared to A-3.B-3 may be more convenient for indoor use only (see photo)☆Is there a problem with the gas heater? About☆A gas heater is installed in the room, but the temperature is set at 17 degrees.If you raise the temperature because it's cold, an error message will appear and the heater will automatically stop, so we recommend using just the on/off switch without changing the temperature setting.The problem with cold days is that it takes a long time to warm up the room.Is this only B-3?The B-2 gas heater of the same construction could be used normally even if the temperature was raised.There is also a fan heater installed to protect you from the cold.Is the response different depending on the building because B-3 is a pet building?☆Mountain information☆Recommended is ☆ Hayashiyama ☆*See photoOne and a half hours round trip from the cabin (rest stop), good view!There is not much information about the mountain, so if you want to climb it, it is best to ask the front desk for advice.Around the cabin, Astragalus azalea and Yamazatsuji are in full bloom at this time of year.The image of mountain climbing is climbing directly from the forest road.There is an observation rock just below the summit, and the summit is a small plaza.From the top of the mountain, there is a good view of Mt. Goro in the back and towards the head of Makiyose.The path from the observation rock to the summit is particularly steep, so be careful when climbing up and down.The mountain trail is narrow and slightly fluffy, probably because there are not many people climbing it.If you are not used to mountains, you may go off the trail.There is no red tape, there is a sign at the trailhead, and there is a summit sign for Hayashiyama at the observation rock and the summit.The sign at the summit is damaged and decaying.There are no auxiliary ropes or chains even in steep sections.Climbing shoes recommended, athletic shoes allowedConvenient to have in stockCan be climbed by children of upper grade level

The location is very good. It is located at an altitude of 1500m, so it seems cool in the summer.There's really nothing around, so it's a good idea to stay overnight and take a walk around the area during the day.This is a facility that people who live or work in Machida City or Sagamihara City can use at a low price. As of May 2023, the usage fee is 4,700 yen for one adult, including one night and two meals.There are 18 rooms.The room we used this time is a 10 tatami Japanese style room.The toilet is shared.There is no bathroom in the room.It is not a hot spring, but there is a large bath and a small bath. There is no safe refrigerator, but there is a small 14-inch TV.You are responsible for raising and lowering the futon yourself.There is a campsite a little further away, which you can use for a cheap price of 200 yen per night, but unfortunately, due to the Fire Service Act, you are not allowed to use firearms such as stoves at tent sites. Cooking will be done in the on-site kitchen.
