Going to collect rhinoceros beetles with family! What are the recommended spots and accommodations near Kanto?

Question

I'm planning a 3-day, 2-night trip with my wife and child this summer. My child loves rhinoceros beetles, so do you know of any hotels that offer tours where we can collect lots of them? I'm looking for a place that's within a 3-hour drive from Tokyo and costs less than 15,000 yen per person per night.

I recommend the Karuizawa Prince Hotel. In the West Area of the Karuizawa Prince Hotel, there is a special beetle forest. It is a parent-child program that can be enjoyed without a reservation, so why not give it a try if you are staying at the hotel? The hotel itself is comfortable and perfect. I think it will be a great place to escape the heat, especially in the summer.

Why not try out the rhinoceros beetle hunting at Hotel Epinard Nasu? It's a very popular summer vacation event for children, and it seems to be held every year. There is a hunting area within the hotel grounds, which are full of nature, and I think it will fit your budget as well. The hotel has a variety of facilities, including hot springs, a pool, and an experience workshop.

My family and I stayed at Naeba Prince Hotel during the Obon holiday in August. Although Naeba is known for its skiing, there are also events that can be enjoyed in the summer, which the children enjoyed. You can also sign up for an optional tour to look for rhinoceros beetles. The hotel has beetles that we kept in the hotel, and we enjoyed watching them. The room was a family-friendly room with a hammock and four beds. At the time, it was 11,000 yen per person, including two meals. The room was clean, and the children were delighted with the hammocks. Outside, we could ride on tire tubes and run down the mountain, and there was a big trampoline, and the children said they wanted to go again. They did radio exercises in the morning, and made cotton candy for dinner, so it was a hotel that children enjoyed. And even though we booked on the day of Obon, it was just over 10,000 yen, which is too cheap. I highly recommend it. My family will be going there in the winter and of course next summer!!

You're collecting rhinoceros beetles near the Kanto region, right? If so, why not stay at a hotel near Lake Yamanaka? The recommended hotel is the Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka. This area is surrounded by forests, and if you're lucky, the light will attract rhinoceros beetles and other creatures. The hotel has a large public bath and an open-air bath where you can enjoy Lake Yamanaka hot springs. If you choose the breakfast-only plan, you can stay for less than 15,000 yen per person.

Located right in the middle of Minamiboso, it is conveniently located just 90 minutes from the city center. There are various hands-on activities including a rhinoceros beetle tour in the Roman Forest Republic. You can also enjoy an open-air bath. There is also a plan to enjoy the nearby Kamogawa Sea World. You can choose your favorite menu from Japanese, Western, and BBQ. It was a hotel that the whole family could enjoy.
