Summer in Japan continues to be sweltering every year. If you're going on a trip during summer vacation, you'll want to escape from the heat and spend some time in a cool place. What I would like to recommend is Hokkaido in the summer. Hokkaido has no rainy season and almost no typhoons, so now is the best season. A cool breeze blows across the vast land, and a variety of flowers and trees decorate the area.

A stylish villa nestled in a quiet forest is perfect for couples who want to spend some time relaxing in Hokkaido during the summer. In a private space just the two of you, you will be filled with a deep healing feeling that will make you feel like you are in the world of a story. Let us introduce you to some wonderful villas and vacation rentals where you can relax away from everyday life!

Hotel Nidom is located about 20 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport. It is a resort complex with cottages, restaurants, a golf course, a church and more scattered throughout a vast forest covering an area of about 5 million square meters. The cottages lined up along the lakeside are made in an authentic style using Finnish wood. You'll feel as if you're in a Nordic resort. Why not refresh your body and mind in the great outdoors?

Recommended for couples is the two-storey cottage with a terrace. It is a luxurious house equipped with a living room, dining room, two bedrooms, a mini kitchen, and more. The spacious space is filled with the warmth of wood, and you can feel nature even while indoors, but if you open the door to the terrace, you can feel the refreshing atmosphere of the forest even more comfortably.

The view from the terrace of the lake view cottage is amazing! You can have breakfast on the terrace if you use the optional room service. Feeling comfortable outdoors is one of the best things about Hokkaido in the summer. Why not try spending some elegant time here?

"Nidom" means "rich forest" in the Ainu language. A stroll while feeling the blessings of nature with your whole body is the ultimate way to refresh yourself. As you walk through the forest, you will see a beautiful church right in front of you ♡ It would be a good idea to visit it as a way to think about your future with him. After a long walk, stop by and relax in the natural onsen and sauna "Sesecka" in the main building. onsen has great beauty benefits and is also good for recovering from fatigue, so it's nice to spend some luxurious time in the Finnish-style sauna ◎

Located in Naganuma-cho, Yubari-gun, about 30 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport, MAOIQ is an accommodation facility with two vacation houses with different styles.

In the evening, you can look at the view from the second floor window or enjoy cooking for two at a BBQ. You can enjoy the luxury of doing nothing and experiencing everyday life that can only be found here. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people may have thought, "It would be nice to leave the city and build a stylish house in a place rich in nature..."

This is the new building "MAOIQ komfort" that joined the group in January 2019. It is a sophisticated Scandinavian-style vacation house. On the first floor, there is a living room with a glass-walled facade and a dirt floor with a wood-burning stove, where you can spend a relaxing time looking out at the vast sky and earth.
