Pines Cottage Yatsugatake - Kittila

As we did last year, we stayed again this year with three generations. On the first day, the two of us enjoyed a quiet, relaxing time; on the second day, our grandchildren joined us and we had a lively BBQ—an absolutely wonderful stay. The rooms are clean and spacious. The bedding is very comfortable, and we love having morning coffee on the terrace. With two separate bedrooms, it’s very convenient for three generations, two generations, or even two couples traveling together.If you have a car, you can reach bakeries, roadside stations (Michi-no-Eki), and local markets within about 30 minutes in most cases—just exploring those places is fun in itself.The hospitality is excellent: they respond quickly if anything comes up, and the advance information about nearby shops was truly helpful.The only minor drawback was that the air conditioner’s automatic self-cleaning suddenly started at 11:00 PM, and we couldn’t figure out how to stop it right away.We’d love to visit once every year.

We stayed here as a family of four—my husband, my mother, my son, and me. There is a supermarket called Himawari Market nearby, as well as a bakery called TRIFFLE, so we had no trouble at all even without meals included at the Accommodation.The bed sheets were soft and comfortable, and we really enjoyed staying in this log cabin with its clean wooden scent!Thank you very much. We would love to stay again!
