コーヒー、ソフトドリンクがいただけます。 料金は志しと料金箱が有ります。 アルプホルン体験や生演奏が聴けるかもしれません。

セルフのコーヒーを頂きました。料金は個人的に瓶に入れるスタイルで大抵の方々は100円をおさめて飲んでました。お菓子も出して頂きビックリです、おまけに、おかわり自由なのが良いですね。 高台と言うより山の上に有る感じで眺めが良いカフェですよ

Beautiful view of Churui landscape in front of the Hidaka Mountains. You can hike up from the water park / onsen area in about 20 minutes on a secluded trail through the woods. Cafe is open seasonally but it’s a nice spot even if it’s closed.

下のキャンプ場やマンモス博物館からは、かなりの距離を登ります。頂上では寄付をするとアイスコーヒーなどの飲み物が飲めます。地元のボランティアの方が運営されているそうです。大きなほるんを試しに吹くことができます。ワンコもokなので、水と牛乳をいただきました。帰りは近道を教えてもらって、行きの半分の時間で降りることができました。

キャンプ場の奥の道へ進めばこちらにたどり着きます。景色の良い道。すれ違いややしにくい。ゆっくり走りましょう。道路夕方以降閉鎖されるようです。

天気が良ければ絶景が見られるスポット。ボランティアの方の運営で、お金を寄付するスタイル。店員さんが優しくて親切。 夏場の期間限定のようですが、忠類まで来たら寄ってみて欲しい場所。

二度めの来訪でしたが、残念ながら閉まる直前(1500閉)でしたのでコーヒーをいただくことができませんでした。でも天気も良くて遠くまで見渡すことができましたし、隣接した牧場の牛が「誰だ~あいつら」と言ってたどうかは知りませんが、こちらをずうっと見ていて癒されました。

週末の10時から15時までボランティアの方が当番で開店しています。 フリードリンクにお菓子までいただきました! ちょっと気持ちを募金して参りました。 景色と出会う人みーんなステキなのでまた行きたいです(^ω^) 忠類の道の駅の裏山です! ぜひぜひゴー!
