There are eight accommodation facilities in total. The three lodges with cute triangular roofs feature sophisticated interiors that make the most of the warmth of wood. The lodges are compact yet functional, perfect for couples or small groups. From the windows, you can see the Yanbaru forest spreading out before you and feel time passing slowly.
On the other hand, the five glamping tents are also very comfortable. They are more affordable than typical glamping options, with prices starting at 10,000 yen per person per night, which is a welcome bonus.

You can also enjoy barbecuing on the premises. Barbecue equipment rental is available for 3,000 yen, with a choice of gas or charcoal. Bring your ingredients and enjoy a special meal in nature while grilling local ingredients.
Another major attraction is the outdoor sauna. Bathing in the open air while gazing at the starry sky is a moment when you can fully experience the essence of glamping.
The shower rooms and toilets are kept clean, so even first-time outdoor enthusiasts can feel at ease.
