一泊二日の旅行でしたが、盛りだくさんの体験ができて、非常に満足でした。ホストのご夫婦の人柄もあり、本当に田舎の親戚の家に遊びにきたような感覚で過ごすことができました。個人的にはこたつを囲んで過ごす時間がとても懐かしく」楽しめました。また、今回は雪も降っていたので、雪遊びも楽しむことができて、子どもたちも非常に大喜びでした。それ以外にも、犬と遊んだり餅つきをしたり、早朝のダム散歩をしたりと、盛りだくさんの楽しい体験ができました。帰ってからも「次はいつ行く?」と何度も催促されています。季節ごとにいろいろな体験ができると思うので、ぜひまた遊びに行きたいと思います
I stayed here with my teenage daughter and teenage niece for 3 nights, and it was one of our favorite experiences! Our hosts were the absolute sweetest, and they welcomed us into their home like family. We learned so much from all the activities that we did, from forestry to mochi making! The meals were delicious home cooked meals, and our tatami beds were super comfortable. It was wonderful to be in the countryside and we would definitely want to go back one day.
