This secluded villa is located about 45 minutes by car from central Aomori City, nestled in the rich natural surroundings of Mt. Hakkoda. It’s the perfect location for escaping the noise of the city and enjoying a peaceful retreat. The villa is situated on the Tashirodaira Plateau, within Japan’s only national quasi-park, offering pure snowmelt water and crisp mountain air that enhance the charm of the area. It’s an ideal opportunity to forget the busyness of daily life and refresh both body and mind in nature. The fresh highland air, pristine water, and phytoncides released by the surrounding forest will help soothe your stress and restore your well-being.

I’m Ikegami, your host—people call me “Bunbun.” I run a company that supports hospitals and clinics. I created the Hakkoda Amaterasu Retreat with the hope of offering a healing space for those with allergies or chemical sensitivities to recover both physically and emotionally. Surrounded by untouched nature, drinking pure snowmelt water and taking deep breaths in this environment makes it the perfect place for detox. I truly hope this retreat helps you reconnect with your natural strength.

This villa is located within the Towada-Hachimantai National Park. It is extremely rare to find a guesthouse situated inside a national quasi-park in Japan.
