LCO-Resort (Takizawa Chotaro Hayashi)

It opened in October 2023 as a glamping facility where you can enjoy camping and saunas in a quiet location surrounded by fields at the foot of Mt. Iwate in Takizawa City, next to Morioka City

LCO is an abbreviation for " Let's Chill Out" and was named with the hope that glamping guests would have a chill-out experience.

The glamping villas, which were renovated from accommodation facilities that existed before the resort opened, and the newly installed trailer homes are all unique, so you can choose the room that suits you best

In a private space where you won't have to worry about those around you, you can enjoy a self-louver in a private sauna and experience a moment of relaxation for your body and mind
