Moriyama Village
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating: 2 out of 5 (1 review). Guests report that being able to cook in the kitchen, along with a washing machine, makes the property convenient for longer stays, and that the surrounding mountains let them relax without worrying about other people around. On the other hand, one guest wrote that only two sets of futon bedding could be laid out on the second floor and that a third person slept separately on the first floor, so larger families may want to check in advance.
