東京ではできない体験ができました

はじめての農泊!
とっても楽しかったです♪
オーナーさんご夫妻とたくさんお話しができたので、旅で交流を求めている人には最適だと思います。
お父さんが宿周辺の案内をしてくれましたが、今後もさまざまなアイデアがあるようなので、また伺った時に何が進化したのかを聞くのが楽しみです。
また、お母さんの家庭料理もとても美味しくボリューミーで、お腹も心も満たされました。ジビエも初挑戦できました。
ありがとうございました!

お利口な秋田犬

ご主人とともに大きな秋田犬がお出迎えしてくれました。とてもお利口で、子どもたちも喜んでお世話させてもらいました(^^)
チェックイン後は里山散策、キャンプファイヤー、朝夜のお散歩、古民家探検などなど盛りだくさんの体験ができました。が、その全ては有料オプションでした。

遊び心満載の宿

オーナーさんご夫婦が本当の家族のように温かく迎え入れてくれました。
宿にはお父さんが手作りの仕掛けがたくさんあり、トンネルに潜ったり屋根に登ったりでき、子どものようにはしゃいでしまいました。

お母さん手作りのお料理も全ておいしかったです。初めて熊の肉を食べましたが、臭みなどもなくとてもおいしかったのでまた食べたいです。
お父さんと夜までお酒を飲んで楽しくおしゃべりもでき、とても楽しい宿泊をさせて頂きました。

田植えや稲刈りの体験ができる時期にまた行きたいです!
