All facilities such as bathroom, shower room, kitchen and cabin are renovated in 2021. These are really clean and useful. You can also enjoy tent camping with your pet beside a beautiful river.
I have stayed at many kinds of cabins and cottages in Japan. I highly recommend YASUDAGAWA Cabin in Kochi, Shikoku.
