Tips for choosing
- Check capacity and bedroom count together. Even if the capacity fits, depending on the number of bedrooms some guests may sleep on futons or sofa beds. Match the bedroom details on each facility page to your family’s size and sleeping style.
- Decide how you will use the kitchen before choosing. Whether you cook every meal, make breakfast only, or center the trip on BBQ changes what equipment you need. A property with an on-site restaurant, like Asama Kuzanbo, also gives you the option of not cooking at all.
- Look at prices per building. With whole-house rentals, the per-person cost tends to drop as your group grows. Rates vary considerably by season, so check the calendar on the official website.
- Book via the official website. TOMARIBI links to each property’s official site and official booking channel.
