Tokusawa-en

I came here for camping. The fee is ¥1,800 per person. The location is beautiful, with free toilets, a public bath (¥1,000), and there is also a restaurant, although the food sells out as the day goes on. Overall, it was a very good experience. It would be even better if more food options were available and if there was camping gear rental, which would be very helpful in certain situations. Regarding the reception, I would also appreciate if the staff could be a little friendlier. When I asked some questions about rental items to a male staff member, our conversation was unexpectedly interrupted by a female staff member (who seemed to be his senior) before I could finish explaining my question. Perhaps it was because my Japanese was difficult to understand, or simply a misunderstanding. In any case, I hope communication can be a little smoother next time..

My husband and I spent two nights there on our honeymoon (Western style private room A) and we loved it. We had a charming and comfortable little room, with sink and fridge. The shared facilities (public baths and toilets) were always impeccably clean. While the rate of our room was on the more expensive side, it included dinner and breakfast, and the food was really delicious (some of the best we had in Japan). The walk from Kamikochi to get to the lodge was very pleasant and easy (even with our bags), and the area surrounding the lodge is really beautiful with the mountains around it. From the lodge, we did a day hike to Mount Chōgatake. The lights off policy at 9pm applies to the rooms, but there’s still light in the corridors and the toilets can still be used. Our room also had a torch in it. We would have loved to stay longer and highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy the mountains.

We stayed here for 2 nights during our hiking trip in Karasawa. The room is clean and comfy. Staff are nice and friendly. Food is yummy and tasty. Overall is pricey but worthy. 🤪

I enjoyed a one-day camping experience at this location. The camping fee was 1500¥ per tent. There were drinking water and toilet facilities nearby, although the toilets were not the best but manageable. Close to the campsite, there's a hotel where you can take a shower for 1000¥, and they provide one towel for your use. 😂 Additionally, I had a delightful breakfast the following morning, and while there was an option for dinner, unfortunately, it was already finished by the time I arrived.

Amazing lodge! Beautiful, peaceful setting away from the crowds, cozy rooms & incredible meals! We visited during our honeymoon, and everyone was so sweet. Hope to come back soon!

Pro’s: Nice location Clean Dinner was very nice Cons: Price is nowhere near what you should pay for this site. 14,500 for a cubicle and having a shared shower and toilet is way too much. Easier to camp here. Hardly any amenities. The staff were pretty uptight about a few circumstances.

Stayed at their hokata for the night while attempting karasawa cinque. It's a perfect location with a great onsen (mountain view!), perfect service with kind staff, a lounge that's cinnamon scented with a book collection fitting for a mountain lodge and the dinner was just splendid (no way there's a fish.. and medium rare steak at that), almost like a ryokan! Stopped by the next day amid the rain on the way back for a snack/ lunch- service was fast and not crowded! Reservations were made easily via email.

A wonderful place that shouldn't miss . The location is far away from the crowd, so you can enjoy a quiet moment in kamikochi nature. The staff are super helpful and friendly, plus a clean and cozy Japanese style room, a delicious and well prepared dinner and breakfast, and a super relax onsen after a long walk, this place is definitely one of the reward after hike. Although it is a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it.
