  3. It is expected that guests take excellent care of all the equipment at YC—bicycles, barbecues, kids toys, recreation equipment and waterfront equipment—and put everything away that you use.

  4. Please observe what your children use around the property and if they don’t put things away, put everything they use away out of courtesy for others on the property.

  5. Anything that breaks, that your children break, or that you find broken or non-functional needs to be reported to the YC hosts right away.

    - RESERVATION POLICIES -

  1. Reservations can be made up to one year in advance. SEND International members may be allowed to make reservations further in advance with special permission. Missionary retreats may also qualify for advanced bookings.

  2. No Sunday check-ins — so that the YC hosts can attend worship services on Sundays, check-in on Sunday will no longer be allowed. If you wish to arrive on Sunday, we will have to block off Saturday night for you. Depending on seasonal demand that may or may not be possible.

  3. No single-night stays for individuals or families. For church retreats, if scheduling or financial factors do not allow for more than one night, we will allow single-night stays.

  4. Arriving early or leaving late — this may be allowed if it does not conflict with other guests. You need permission from the hosts to arrive early or stay late. Of course, you may certainly spend extra time at other places around the lake—restaurants, parks, shops or a lakeside walk.

Step 3 - Review Additional information

    1. Due to Japanese government restrictions for non-profit organizations, we cannot publish rates online. The rate for your stay will be given in your reservation email.

    2. If your salary is paid by a church or Christian organization you will qualify for the “Christian Worker” rate. Those registering for a group will pay the per-person group rate, including the Christian worker organizing the group. All others pay the “group” rate. SEND members have a different discount rate.
