Rental Villa Ork Hirugano

Even at midnight, Osaka has been close to 30°C these days, but here it felt almost chilly when we went outside at night. It was also the first time in a while that we could sleep well indoors without air conditioning.Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy so we couldn’t see a sky full of stars, but since we usually live in an apartment, the kids were thrilled to be able to enjoy lots of fireworks—something we normally can’t do.The Facility was clean and well maintained throughout, and there were fewer bugs than expected, so we had a very comfortable stay.We’d love to stay again.

We stayed at the Nest Lab with a sauna as a couple and our one-year-old child, and we were very satisfied. When we inquired about a chair for our child, they provided a very clean high chair, allowing the three of us to enjoy a relaxing hot pot meal together. The kitchen was well-equipped with cooking utensils, and seasonings were available for purchase at the reception desk. Although the nighttime temperature dropped to -7°C, the heater, floor heating, and window insulation kept it warm enough inside—almost too warm! There was also a coat rack and ski storage area near the entrance with heaters that could be used like a drying room. A shovel and snow brush for cars were provided at the entrance as well, showcasing their thorough snow preparation measures. The barrel sauna was clean and came equipped with aroma water, drinks, sauna wear, etc., which allowed us to fully enjoy it throughout the night. Initially, the floor of the sauna felt cold but circulating air using towels helped warm up the entire space. The exposed stove in the center allowed us to enjoy "löyly" (steam), but it might pose some risks for those unfamiliar with saunas. A bit more instruction on how to use it would be helpful.One issue we encountered was that the Bluetooth speaker provided picked up signals from neighboring lodges' speakers as well. It became difficult to distinguish between them on our smartphone interface; sometimes their music played on our speaker or vice versa. We hope this can be addressed in future improvements!
