Hirugano Kogen sits at 900 metres, and every season on the plateau has a completely different character. The villas are open year-round — only what you do outside them changes.
The thaw uncovers the highland pasture and the mornings still carry the cold of the mountains. It is the quietest stretch of the year in the village.
The shoulder season suits retreats, digital detox stays and small corporate groups — the kind of visit that needs the plateau to itself.
On average 8–10°C cooler than Nagoya during the hottest months — the plateau is where central Japan goes to escape the heat.
Long light evenings on the terrace, mountain streams within walking distance, and a full day of activities within thirty minutes of the village.
Vivid colour across the whole plateau and the clearest evenings of the year. The best months for a barbecue on your own terrace.
From 20 October the winter heating and snow-removal surcharge applies (¥8,000 per villa per night).
Snow up to three metres deep, and the village at its most Lapland. Five ski resorts of different character are close by.
The villas have underfloor heating and a gas heater — there are no fireplaces. Winter tyres or chains are required on the approach roads.
Reservations are handled through Booking.com, where you can see live availability for all ten villas. For anything else, write to us — we answer in English, Japanese and Russian.
