Rooms & bedding

The cottage has two single beds, and we can lend up to two sets of futons (¥2,000 per set) — enough for a family. It's the whole cottage to yourselves, so the price doesn't change with the number of guests (¥23,000 for two or more). If there are more of you, bring sleeping bags or bedding and there's floor space to lay them out.

Facilities

Air conditioning, refrigerator/freezer, hot plate, oven microwave (with toaster), tabletop gas cooker, electric kettle, hair dryer, toilet, shower, and a fire pit. Wi-Fi included. Free parking on site.

A gas cooker, pans, knife, cutting board, bottle opener, dish soap, pots, and a full set of tableware. Please plan to bring your own food.

Amenities

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, bath and face towels, tissues. Toothbrushes and towels are provided for up to two guests — please bring your own if there are more of you. Sleepwear is not provided.

Bath

The cottage has a shower only — there is no bathtub.

BBQ & fire pit

You can BBQ on the wooden deck and use the fire pit a little further out. We provide a table set, grill, and disposable grill nets. Please bring your own charcoal, or pick some up at Michi-no-Eki Aio. BBQ sets can be ordered from Michi-no-Eki Aio (tel. +81 83-984-5704); please order, or cancel, at least two days before your stay. Ask them directly for current prices.
