★ Miyagi Zao Seikan "Orihimekan" and Miyagi Zao Seikan "Hikoboshikan" - Two rental villas connected by the starry sky

Two beautiful rental villas, "Hikoboshikan" and "Orihimekan," stand side by side in this starry sky. Though they're within reach of each other, when you look up at the night sky, the stars add a touch of sparkle, just like in the story of Orihime and Hikoboshi. Just like the night of Tanabata, this special place allows you to feel each other's warmth no matter where you are, even when you're apart. By reserving both "Hikoboshikan" and "Orihime," up to 18 people can stay. Spend a wonderful evening with family, friends, or loved ones in these two villas, enveloped in the tale of the stars.

☆Includes a ¥1,000 voucher for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Sakai Coffee or a nearby restaurant.

[About Zao Sansuien]
The Matsukawa River flows through the garden, allowing visitors to enjoy riverside strolls while admiring the Zao Mountain Range. A clear stream teeming with fireflies, the stream that gave the garden its name "Seseragi no Sato" (Burning Village), also flows through the garden, maintaining its purity to this day, making it a popular habitat for fireflies.

A village bursting with color throughout the seasons: verdant spring, refreshing green leaves in summer, autumn foliage, and silvery white winter. The garden, brimming with nature, changes color with the changing seasons, with trees, flowers, and shrubs. It is also home to many wild birds.

We have a 24-hour security system in place, with patrols of the grounds every two hours at night to ensure safety and security.
