    “Lovely accommodation set in the beautiful Japanese mountainside surrounded by ponds and lakes. 2nd House was perfect for our group of 5. The facilities and rooms are located in the owner’s own house so it has more of a B&B feel without the food....”

In November 2019, we opened the second house (2nd House), the first private lodging in the Urabandai Kogen area. Located in the center of Urabandai Kogen, it is a convenient base for sightseeing and business. ■ It can be used as a telework space. * Ventilation and sterilization are thoroughly done in the room. * Currently, one of the three rooms is reserved for one family room '(1 to 5 people). ■ Deluxe Family Room (5 persons) Semi-double bed 2 beds, 3 single beds, sofa and spacious. The most popular room in the second house. ■ Bedding. Beds, duvets, heating blankets and memory foam pillows are all new. Sheets use the same cleaned sheets as are used at the hotel. ■ Shared living space. Widely, there are dedicated tables in each room, TV, books, picture book corner, games (Othello, chess, life games, Nanjamonja, Jenga, Rubik's Cube, etc.).
