Located in the center of Urabandai Kogen, it is a convenient base for sightseeing and business. ■ It can be used as a telework space. * Ventilation and sterilization are thoroughly done in the room. * Currently, one of the three rooms is reserved for one family room '(1 to 5 people). ■ Deluxe Family Room (5 persons) Semi-double bed 2 beds, 3 single beds, sofa and spacious. The most popular room in the second house. ■ Bedding. Beds, duvets, heating blankets and memory foam pillows are all new.

Widely, there are dedicated tables in each room, TV, books, picture book corner, games (Othello, chess, life games, Nanjamonja, Jenga, Rubik's Cube, etc.).
