The entire cottage is available for rent with free Wi-Fi. We provide a comfortable remote work environment.
The view of nature from the large windows in the spacious
living room is as beautiful as a painting, serenely enveloping
the mind and creating the sensation of being in the midst of
nature.
The trees change with the seasons, and in winter you can see the snow-capped Zao mountain range. At night, enjoy the star-filled sky shining in the sky. Enjoy a blissful moment in the
silence and openness of the space.

STAYJAPANで見つけたこの宙-SORA-に、今年もまた帰って来てしまいました。広々とした室内を今年もまた満喫。
広々とした窓に囲まれた超開放的な室内は清掃も行き届いており、感動すら覚えます。また、露天風呂手前の脱衣所の香りにも感動しました。部屋奥の広々とした土間に食事ができるテーブルが置かれたり、室内やトイレに宇宙に関する写真が飾られたりと、昨年は無かった物が置かれていたのも嬉しく思いました。
そして、窓を完備しながらも周りからの視線を感じることなく楽しめる温泉は今年も5人で満喫できました。これほどうちの家族に合った貸別荘は無いと確信しております。
うちの子どもが今回は粗相をしてしまったのですが、オーナーさんから請求も頂かず、どこまでも懐の深さを感じる気持ちの良い旅を満喫することができました。
宙-SORA-ファンとして、また帰って来ようと決めた夏になりました。本当にありがとうございましたm(__)m
House was amazing. Huge space with very new amenities. Only suggestion is to add blinds in the toilet. Entertainment was great too there was a switch and TV had netflix and other apps. Will be back for sure.
8月5日から11日までの6泊7日で利用させていただきました。
到着時は大雨が降っていましたが、見えてきた別荘の外観に子どもたちも感動。雨をしのぎながら中に入ると広々としたリビングダイニングに大興奮でした。白樺の木がところどころに配置され、落ち着いた雰囲気。天井の高さが大変高いので余計広く感じます。トイドローンを持って行きましたが、楽しく遊べました。義理の母を含めて5名での宿泊でしたが、ベッドと布団も大変心地よいものが準備されていて嬉しく思いました。置いてある家具や食器類も素敵なものばかりでした。入り口付近に置いてある天体望遠鏡で三日月観測もさせてもらいました。そして何より温泉に入れることが素晴らしかったです。温泉好きの家族のため、1日に何度も利用させてもらいました。義理の母は「いろいろなところに行って歩いたけれど、足の調子が良かったのは温泉のお陰だ」と言っておりました。大変素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。また伺わせていただきたいと思います。（子どもたちは冬にも行きたいと申しております）
追伸：リビングの床、土間の床、キッチンの床、脱衣場の床、お風呂の床など、床の形状がどこも素晴らしいと妻と話しておりました。また、小さなことですが、シャワーヘッドホルダーが、シャワーヘッドをかっちりホールドできることにも感心しました。
築浅でとても綺麗な上、おしゃれな内装とインテリア、家電や食器のラインナップに建物に入るや否やテンション爆上がり！！
なんといっても広々とした檜風呂の温泉と、浴室の大きな窓から見える蔵王山の雪景色が最高でした！
夜は薪ストーブの火を眺めながらゆったりした時間を過ごせました。
家族も大変気に入って、また来たいねと話しています。
