This is a plan that allows you to easily check whether you are skating as you imagined and record it. It's one hour, so it's reasonable, and I don't want to take up a long lesson when I want to skate all day long. . . This is a special plan for those who.

Lessons and clinics where I am told various things are a bit troublesome. But I want to check my own skating. I just want to see how I skate! I want to know! If so, this plan is recommended. You can skate the way you want, and we will take pictures (videos and still images) from in front of you or while following you. If possible, we will ask you to airdrop the data taken with an iPhone or GoPro each time for confirmation. After the plan ends, it is possible to hand it over all at once, but since the amount of data will be quite large, it is usually uploaded to the free cloud by midnight (or the next day depending on the amount of data) after the plan ends. Please download it where you have a high-speed connection. Please note that this does not mean that you will be able to take high quality photos that will "stand out". This photo shoot is just to check your form, so if you are conscious and want to improve your level, be sure to take a photo every time and improve your level more quickly! ♪

■ Charcoal grill in the hearth ■ Hearth…. It often appears in old stories. The hearth is in the hotel. Under the thatched roof. In the hearth, goheimochi rice cakes on skewers and river fish are slowly grilled over charcoal. Talk slowly with your family and friends until it burns. That talk makes charcoal grilling delicious. While talking, the fat drops from the river fish. However, don't be impatient. The charcoal-grilled delicious river fish waits carefully. Sometimes it's good to drink while watching it. The hotel has both cold sake and hot sake. There are also potatoes, wheat, and rice for shochu. Our homemade plum wine is also available. The conversation will be even more exciting. There are plenty of soft drinks, so even those who can't drink are okay! We have 100% juice from Nagano prefecture, our homemade plum juice, and our homemade medicinal tea.
