UBAKU Villa

Nestled in the natural landscape of Biei, Hokkaido, this is a private whole-house villa reserved for one group per day. From solo stays to groups of up to 10, you can rent the entire house to yourselves. The villa is a fully renovated structure roughly 60 years old (licensed under Japan's Ryokan Business Act), with grounds of approx. 1,800 sqm and a building of approx. 117 sqm, where you can spend your days surrounded by the scenery of the four seasons. Self check-in via smart lock lets you settle in at your own pace. Equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a 100-inch projector, it suits both quiet stays for small groups and larger gatherings or workcations. About 18 minutes by car from Asahikawa Airport, about 10 minutes from Biei Station, about 35 minutes from Asahikawa Station, and about 40 minutes to the lavender fields of Farm Tomita in the Furano area. The Blue Pond and Shirogane Onsen are also within about a 30-minute drive — sweeping landscapes by day, star-filled skies and silence by night. There is no public transport to the property, so a rental car is essential.
