We avoid using additives, preservatives and MSG wherever possible.
We endeavour to support the local economy and community by using local businesses and restaurants. We also prepare meals in our own kitchen to ensure our campers’ food is fresh with minimal carbon footprint as possible.

To make transport between Hakuba and Tokyo easy, our team will accompany campers to and from (Tokyo) Shinjuku station by train.

- We plant trees to replace air conditioners and work to improve ventilation.

- Recycling is a big part of our company culture.
Our efforts may seem small, but small changes on a large scale can make huge changes on industry and on our environment.
