Experience of the stay
As soon as I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful building.
Opening the large door revealed a spacious entrance leading to a sufficiently large living room. On the same floor, there were a toilet, a washbasin, a bathroom, and two bedrooms, all compact yet ample for three people. It was perfect for us—the three of us in midlife who love fun activities.
After checking in at 3 PM, we hurriedly took the groceries we had bought into the room.
It was a sunny day, so we frolicked in the garden water play, excited after returning from the beach. The artificial turf was hygienic, allowing us to roll around and enjoy the sun. The garden is satisfying for pets and children too.
With a large TV and comfortable living chairs, we relaxed in our own ways.
BBQ started at 5 PM, with the balcony just a few steps from the kitchen, making it convenient.
We drank and ate a lot, and enjoyed fireworks in the plaza right in front of us.
After cleaning up at 9 PM, the stars we saw from the garden were spectacular.
We were lucky enough to witness a meteor shower as well.
Waking up at 6 AM, the time spent in the living room with light streaming in and the splash of water from watering the garden, plus the slow-paced time on the balcony, was a luxury.
The cooking utensils were all available, so I cooked rice and prepared soup with the leftover vegetables from the BBQ the day before, while strolling around the cottage.
With a check-out time of 11 AM, we were able to take our time and enjoy the cottage without rushing.
I was more than satisfied for the price.
It’s just a little over an hour from Tokyo. Since it was the Obon season, tourist spots were crowded and prices were high, so I was contemplating where to go, but the price, location, and content of this place were all perfect.
My friends who came along also said they were glad we chose this place.
