We have been operating as a simple accommodation facility for 6 years. This time, we have made some changes to the listing and are treating it as a new listing. The cottage is located in Zao Kyuyo Village, a vacation home area within Miyagi Zao Quasi-National Park. This place, rich in nature, is perfect for relaxing. I think you can refresh both your mind and body. The facility is a private rental of the entire house, and the property is about 600 tsubo. You can enjoy barbecues and campfires on the property.
