"Private Cottage Hideaway"

Cottage Hideaway Surrounded by Apple Orchards with a View of Mount Iwaki

This large log house features a spacious wooden deck and offers a luxurious location where you can experience the seasonal beauty of Aomori’s Tsugaru region. It accommodates up to 6 guests and is available for exclusive use.

Enjoy the natural warmth of wood unique to log houses. The living room welcomes you with a high vaulted ceiling, a wide wooden deck, a wood-burning stove, and comfortable sofas. Adjacent to the living room is a tatami room, which offers the much-desired view of Mount Iwaki from its windows. The entire property has been recently renovated and is equipped with Wi-Fi to ensure a comfortable stay.

The 2,000-tsubo (approx. 6,600 m²) property and log house provide a private space exclusively for guests during their stay. The house is set slightly back from the road, giving it the feel of a secluded retreat.
