Stay

Auberge de Y

Located in Kasama City, Auberge de Y provides guests with a relaxing stay while surrounded by nature in the mountain village. Upon first sight, you will see a large, well-maintained, elegant garden, divided into two parts: a Japanese garden and a Western-style garden.
The second floor of the storehouse was renovated into the signature restaurant. You can enjoy Japanese and Italian food made with homegrown vegetables while admiring the elegant gardens.
You can enjoy the serenity here or participate in various workshops for a fee. The experiences offered include seasonal vegetable harvesting, cooking classes, barbecuing, quilting, and pottery making.
*Only women and their families are allowed to stay at the hotel. Please make a reservation in advance for the workshops.

Forest Retreat Guesthouse

The historical city of Kasama is known for Kasama Inari Shrine, one of Japan's three greatest Inari Shrines. Likewise, it is a flourishing pottery center specializing in Kasama-ware.
During the summer, the town is abuzz with local festivals and the sounds of Euterpnosia chibensis, an endangered cicada species designated as a natural heritage. Forest Retreat Guesthouse is a seven-minute drive from central Kasama. The guesthouse's hilltop location and forest surroundings make it ideal for anyone looking to relax and unwind.
From spring to summer, you can hear soothing songs of the Japanese nightingale. On summer days, listen to the crying cicadas at dawn and dusk. Autumn welcomes foliage, while winter is when snow-covered hilltops fill the view. In other words, Forest Retreat is the perfect place to experience the seasonal beauty of the Japanese countryside.

Hotel Season is a 5-minute walk from JR Mito Station.
The hotel offers two types of rooms: the Lake View and Sunrise, named for their respective views.
