Experience the real vibe of the Japanese Alps in an authentic wooden chalet with a fireplace & exquisite views of the most famous mountain range of Hakuba Valley... Just a 10 minute drive from Happo One ski resort & Mountain, as you are looking at it or even a brisk hiking or snowshoeing walk distance from the Iwatake Ski Slope or Mountain Resort.. You will be staying in a charming village & a complete private house on top of the hill with a big land next & around it for your sole use.. Tsukimi Cottage means “ Moon-viewing Cottage “ in Japanese Located in the Tranquilly & picturesque village of Donguri on the opposite side of the Matsu River overlooking the Happo Mountain & Sakka Ski Area's you will find a charming village ... On the top of this village and basically 5 min walk from the house, there is a forest road that gives access to the Iwatake Mountain & Ski Resort. If you don’t mind a 1 hour hike up that is, specially in Winter but going down its possible to ski or snowboard all the way down to the Donguri Cafe & Skatepark. ( Intermediate & expert only please ) For access to the Iwatake Gondola or the Happo Gondola its probably a 10-min drive.. Down at the entrance road of the Donguri Village you also have Kurashita Onsen which is amazing & is the only one that has yellowish-brown Salt & Iron Water. My name is Serioja Glorie & I have been dreaming of this beautiful cottage ever since the first time I came to Japan. I actually bought the land next to it back in 2020, build a huge camping deck for summer & named it ' Kami Land' which is now directly connected to this property. This year 2023 I was able to finally buy this dreamhouse but since I already live in a very nice chalet down in the same street, I decided I can rent out "Tsukimi Cottage" for the next few years. Enjoy the spacious, simply elegant but luxury of this charming log cabin. Fully self-contained & private, set at the top of Donguri Village, in the beautiful Hakuba Valley, famous for hosting the premier events of the 1998 Winter Olympics. This village is also known for its many Kamoshika ( Japanese Serow ) & Monkey sightings but also other wildlife can be seen here like Racoons... Whether visiting us for the Winter Season, and the excitement of having the snow at your doorstep, or for the cool refreshing Summer Season, Tsukimi Cottage gives you a cozy warm space of a log cabin for up to 10 people at a very affordable price. We also allow you to stay with your pet here as we are dog lovers ourselves! Just don’t let them in the beds please :) The cabin has everything you need & is probably one or even the only property that lets you use the FIREPLACE for a cozy winter evening! ( One bundle included, extra charge of 1000Yen for the rest ) You can also enjoy a homemade dinner as there is a big table for 6-8 people in the dining area & it has an open fully equipped kitchen. The living room also has a large smart TV with Amazon Firestick for watching NETFLIX or whatever you prefer. Or can enjoy the view of the mountains on a summer evening & do BBQ at the front yard or terrace, chill in the hammock or even do a BBQ on the deck in summer on 'Kami Land' The entire cabin has a high-speed broadband WIFI, perfect for staying connected with your own laptop iPad or smartphone. The living room is furnished with comfy sofa’s & blankets and plenty of space for everyone to relax. The master bedroom has a King size bed and mountain view as the windows are all around.
