The Nomad Mt. Yatsugatake

My family (husband and wife, two sons, four adults) stayed in the trailer house. From the trailer house, we could see the spacious fields and the majestic mountain range of the Southern Alps. Despite such a wonderful location, it is a luxurious accommodation that is limited to only three groups. While glamping is often a small facility like a pre-built house that is crowded with people, this sense of privacy was perfect for me, who wanted to spend my days off quietly and leisurely without meeting people as much as possible. The vast 14,000 square meter site is filled with the aforementioned fields, groves, and a small stream, giving it a rustic charm that is not overly constructed. And the trailer house we stayed in was completely original. I was happy to see such a wonderful trailer house in Japan. The interior uses wood throughout, and the minimalist modern accessories suggest the owner's good taste. There are large windows on three sides around the bed, and the hotel is packed with ideas to allow you to enjoy the great outdoors with all your senses. We cooked our own meals this time, but the kitchen, although compact, had everything we needed and we didn't feel inconvenienced at all. (We brought our own Dutch oven and fire pit.) This is a wonderful "tiny hotel" that provides the comfort of a hotel while allowing you to feel close to the abundant nature, just like camping. It has just opened, so we hope to return and see how the charm of the landscape is further enhanced in the future.

I wanted to enjoy a quiet bonfire and starry sky in nature. Then I found out about The Nomad and stayed there for two days and one night during Golden Week. The wind was very strong that day, and the clouds piled up after noon, but we managed to stabilize the fire and enjoyed a BBQ with a local craft beer in hand. After darkness enveloped us, many stars appeared every time the clouds parted, and we were able to spend a quiet night with a popping bonfire. We stayed in a trailer house, which was very comfortable with clean showers and beds. It got quite cold after the evening, but there was air conditioning and even an extra blanket for when we went to bed, so we were able to get a good night's sleep. The second day was a cloudless blue sky! After a stroll around the grounds with a view of Kita-dake and Kaikoma-ga-take in the distance, it was time for the breakfast we were looking forward to. Our basket was filled with homemade special soup and other carefully selected items, and since we checked out late, we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. At The Nomad, all you can see is a vast, unadorned site and the Southern Alps beyond. The three accommodation buildings are located at the edge of the site so as not to obstruct the view. How did they come up with such an ideal place? When I met the owners on site and learned about their way of thinking and their personality, it all made sense to me. I'm grateful for this wonderful place and for meeting them. I hope to visit again!

We used the hotel for the first time on a weekend in late May, with two families, six adults and one Bam (medium-sized dog). The original trailer house was carefully designed in every way, and the bedding and facilities were a testament to the owner's good taste, making it a true "tiny hotel". We stayed in the trailer house for three people, and in the glamping tent for three people plus Bam. On the day, the weather was unfortunate, with light rain on and off, but thanks to the large tarp tent and wood deck in front of the glamping tent, six adults plus Bam were able to enjoy a comfortable BBQ dinner. We drank until quite late, but the glamping tent was surprisingly warm and comfortable, and Bam was sleeping soundly with his arms and legs stretched out. The next morning, the rain had stopped and we had a delicious breakfast, and it was a refreshing highland breakfast. By the time we started getting ready to go home, the sky had cleared up, and we could see the blue sky and the distant mountains beautifully, and we were able to play frisbee in the field. I often go camping, but packing up on rainy days and after the rain is a pain. However, that isn't necessary here, so this rain man was able to spend time there very comfortably. I would like to use it again in a different season and enjoy the different seasonal arrangements of Mother Nature. The station is close by, so I thought it might be a good idea to take some time off work and head to the site empty-handed from the city center! I'd like to thank the Ohno couple for their kindness and their kindness in taking care of Bam. Thank you very much.
