A private villa available for exclusive rental. Relax as if in your own residence on a getaway to Rurikei, Kyoto.
About a 1-hour drive from central Kyoto. Set amid the lush highlands of Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, two types of villas stand within “ASOBIYUKU Kyoto Rurikei Onsen.” Opening in February 2026: “ASOBIYUKU VILLA,” where every villa features a private Onsen, and “GRAX HANARE,” a comfortable two-story villa with an airy open-ceiling design. From Rooms equipped with a private Onsen, Jacuzzi bath, and dedicated sauna to pet-friendly standalone villas where you can stay with your dog—choose from a wide variety of villas to match the getaway you envision. Dinner and breakfast are served in-room for a relaxed dining experience. Seasonal ingredients are delivered to your Room; add the final touch yourselves and enjoy them freshly prepared at the dining table or out on the terrace. Choosing where to dine based on your mood is one of the pleasures unique to renting an entire villa. After dinner, unwind in your in-room bath or authentic sauna, gaze at the stars from the terrace, or linger over conversation in the living room. From nightfall until morning, savor to your heart’s content the “free and luxurious private time” that only an entire-villa stay can offer.
We had a comfortable stay in a spacious, clean Room. The BBQ dinner was very satisfying, with paella and acqua pazza in addition to BBQ.Even after checkout, we were able to play plenty at the pool and indoor play area at Rurikei Onsen, and our 4-year-old and 1-year-old grandchildren were delighted.On the drive home, they kept saying, “Take us back to Rurikei,” haha.Haha
It exceeded my expectations. I ended up making a last-minute Reservation, but all the staff were very friendly, the services were excellent, and every meal was luxurious—we were completely satisfied. We would definitely like to stay here again.

Two types of villas nestled in the lush natural setting of “Kyoto Rurikei.” Gather around the indoor table for dinner, then take a bath whenever you like. Relax on the sofa while your meal is being prepared—enjoy an unhurried stay in your own villa without being tied to a set schedule. Choose from two styles: “ASOBIYUKU VILLA,” opened in February 2026, and “GRAX HANARE,” a two-story villa with an open atrium. In addition to private Onsen and Jacuzzi baths, both areas offer rooms with saunas, and the VILLA area also includes pet-friendly rooms where you can stay with your dog. Select the villa that best suits your group size and travel purpose.
A seamless interior with high ceilings and large windows creates an exceptional sense of openness. From sharing meals around the dining table to relaxing in the living area, you can spend your time comfortably in one spacious setting. Each villa’s indoor bath is supplied with the same natural hot spring source as the on-site Onsen Facility “Ruriyu,” so you can enjoy natural hot spring water 24 hours a day. Choose from four villa types to suit your stay: the standard “VILLA TWIN,” “VILLA SAUNA” with a private barrel sauna and a cold plunge bath with chiller, “VILLA DOG” for stays with your dog, and “VILLA BANK” featuring bunk beds.
A private villa rental featuring a double-height living room, with bedrooms on both the first and second floors. Enjoy time together and quiet rest in separate spaces. The white-themed jacuzzi bath includes a spacious washing area and is popular with families with children. A private deck extends beyond the living room. Choose from three villa types, each offering a different way to enjoy the deck: the basic “Standard,” “Tsukiyo Terrace” with a hammock and aqua garden for moonlit evenings, or the “Premium Villa with Sauna,” featuring a private tent sauna where you can enjoy self löyly.
Dinner features a Kyoto-inspired menu made with an abundance of locally sourced ingredients. In addition to Plans highlighting meat and seafood, we also offer Plans focused on Japanese cuisine. You can enjoy the full menu of the Plan selected at the time of your Reservation—all in your guest room. Meals are prepared in a finish-it-yourself style: you complete the final steps using the in-room hot plate and microwave oven, grilling to a fragrant finish or warming dishes to their best serving temperature. While everything is coming together, relax on the sofa or watch TV. You can also wait with optional champagne (available for an additional fee)—a unique way to enjoy this private villa.
The bath at GRAX HANARE features a spacious washing area that is easy to use even with children. In a bright, white-toned space with a jacuzzi bath, the whole family can relax and enjoy bathing together. The bath at ASOBIYUKU VILLA uses the same Onsen water as the on-site Onsen Facility “Ruriyu.” With a calm, black-toned interior and a large bathtub, you can enjoy a relaxing soak at any time you like, morning or night.
Thank you very much for always choosing HANARE.
