Limited Time October 12, 2024 (Sat) - March 31, 2025 (Wed)

A new experience of building a bonfire
There are many people who are interested in bonfires but have no experience with them. This bonfire experience can be enjoyed empty-handed, with no need to prepare tools or find a place to build a bonfire. The campfire experience can be enjoyed safely and securely as the air is constantly changed and no smoke or carbon monoxide is left inside the tent due to our unique system. In the cold Hokkaido winter, it can get as low as minus 10 degrees outside. But inside the tent is a warm and comfortable space.

Period: October 12, 2024 - March 31, 2025

〇Hours: 15:00 - 18:00 & 20:00 - 22:00 *The service starts every hour at 00:00 or 30:00.

0 Plan benefit : Bonfire experience in a tent for 30 minutes (including firewood and food set) * Can be extended for 30 minutes for 2,000 yen per person (tax included).

Roasting over a bonfire will be a lot of fun!
A peaceful moment to gaze at the fire
It is said that bonfires have a healing effect and that just looking at the flickering flames is relaxing. The crackling sound of the wood burning, the sound of the fire crackling, and the luxury of drinking and tasting freshly cooked hot bonfire food while nurturing the fire are all part of the experience. The inside of the tent will be filled with delicious aromas. Talk around the fire at the table, watch the fire quietly, and enjoy the comfortable time. Enjoy a relaxing time.
