Seisen dormitory

Seisen-ryo was built as a central facility for Christian training by the Japan-America Society's youth activities as part of KEEP (Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project), led by Paul Rusch, known as the father of Kiyosato development.

Not only can you enjoy a relaxing time in nature, but you can also have many experiences and learn things, such as the famous soft serve ice cream and nature experience programs.
