Since we're going on a trip to Hokkaido, why not stay in a cottage surrounded by Hokkaido's natural beauty, rather than a regular hotel or hot spring?
You might think so, right? In fact, cottages in Hokkaido are incredibly popular during the summer.

By the way, I think there are many reasons why people look for a cottage, such as "liberation," "freedom," or "the desire to experience something out of the ordinary." To achieve that satisfaction, certain conditions are necessary, right? A spacious cottage, like a model home, with a garden, surrounded by greenery, etc... I think most people have roughly the same image in mind. So this time, I've personally selected some popular cottages in Hokkaido that I think everyone will agree on.

We'll introduce you to cottages surrounded by nature that truly embodies the spirit of Hokkaido, as well as luxury cottages, recommended for groups and families, and even some cottages in unexpected locations!
