MORI · GUIDE

Settle in, and take the day slowly

Plan at your own pace, from a meal and a forest walk to nearby hot springs and leisure facilities. This guide brings together the two existing stay plans and seven themes from our website, ready to read before or during your trip.

1 Night / 2 Days

Forest Retreat Lite

Perfect for a weekend getaway or first-time visit, focusing on the campsite itself and pure relaxation.

Make Meals a Highlight of Your Short Stay

For a 1-night, 2-day trip, it's best to have dinner at the campsite and keep breakfast simple and slow. This makes the whole experience much more relaxing.

Three Best Ways to Eat Here

Top Pick

Outdoor BBQ

The most atmospheric choice on clear days, and the most representative dinner option here.

The campsite offers a relaxing outdoor space perfect for chatting. We recommend starting preparations in the late afternoon, grilling and eating at your own pace, letting dinner naturally flow into fireworks and evening conversations.

Best for the first night with good weather
Seamlessly leads into fireworks and chat time
Buy meat and vegetables before check-in

Rain-Friendly

Hot Pot in the Tent

Perfect for windy, rainy, or when you want a more relaxed setup.

On windy, rainy, or low-effort nights, hot pot is the most reliable choice. Ingredients are easy to prepare, and it's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat from the previous day.

Great for rainy or cold weather
Especially convenient on the second night
Use up leftover ingredients together

Easy Pick

Cold Platter

The easiest and most refreshing option when you don't want to cook for long.

Prepare bread, cheese, ham, fruit, and salad in advance. Once at the campsite, simply arrange them on a plate and enjoy. Ideal for a lighter meal that helps you relax faster.

Best for when you don't want to cook for long or wash many dishes
Pairs well with cold soup, juice, or white wine
Prepare all ingredients before check-in

To truly experience the 'slow breakfast' and the rhythm of the campsite, a two-night stay is usually best. If time allows, we recommend staying for two nights or more. This place is better suited for taking it slow, not rushing through your itinerary.

Stock Up on Essentials Before You Arrive, Then Relax

For a 1-night, 2-day trip, we suggest buying only dinner, breakfast, and basic drinks to keep your shopping just right.
