Ubaku Villa is a private, whole-house villa limited to one group per day, nestled in the forests of Biei, Hokkaido.
The house sits on a spacious private property of approximately 2,000 square meters, offering a quiet and secluded environment surrounded by nature.
The building has been carefully renovated from an older structure, with great attention paid to natural materials, wood textures, and the way light enters the space. In the morning, you can wake up to birdsong and soft natural light, while at night you can enjoy the deep silence and star-filled skies unique to areas with minimal artificial lighting.
Within walking distance, you will find gently flowing streams and peaceful rolling hills, perfect for walks or light hiking. A short drive will take you to Biei’s charming cafés, scenic photography spots, and trailheads leading to seasonal landscapes, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature.
Inside, the villa features a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living area, and large windows that bring the outdoors in. It is ideal for long stays, workations, and guests who wish to slow down and enjoy the luxury of doing nothing, rather than simply visiting tourist attractions.

"The location was a bit out of the way, but perfect for a self-drive trip. The house was fully equipped, even with a high chair for kids and a vacuum cleaner, which was super convenient for families like ours. They even gave us a small bag of local rice, which was a nice touch! 👍🏻 The fridge was huge, great for storing plenty of groceries. We cooked breakfast and dinner every day, and the supermarket was only a 15-minute drive away. We stayed for 4 nights and were very satisfied. Whenever we had questions, the guesthouse staff were quick to respond and help out. 👍🏻 We felt very comfortable and at ease. ❤️"
