Feriendorf, located in the Tokachi forest in Hokkaido, is a rare glamping resort where you can stay with your pet. With German-style cottages, empty-handed BBQ, sauna and dog run, you can fully refresh yourself in nature. This is a special holiday where you and your dog can relax and unwind.

This time we will introduce a pet cottage. Its German-style exterior is impressive and stands out in the forest.

"I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some relaxing time with my family and pets," "I want to enjoy nature with my beloved dog," "I want to take my children on a trip that everyone can enjoy" -- such wishes can be fulfilled at "Fairiendorf" in Nakasatsunai Village, Tokachi. Many guests come from urban areas such as Sapporo and Kitahiroshima, and it is about three and a half hours by car from Sapporo. It is just the right distance to visit while driving with the family.

Upon arriving, you'll be surprised by the vast grounds, spanning approximately 330,000 square meters in the forest. There are rows of log cottages and glamping tents, with the comforting warmth of wood. Of the 90 cottages, 45 are available for accommodation and are equipped with kitchens and showers, making for a comfortable stay. Of these, there are nine pet cottages, which are equipped with facilities that dog lovers will appreciate, and can accommodate both small and large dogs. There are cages inside the rooms, and pets can roam freely on the first floor. This time, we actually brought our pets and spent some time there together.

Each cottage can accommodate up to 5 people (6 people max if extra beds are used).

The cottage balconies are also spacious, allowing you to enjoy bird watching.

In addition to dogs, pet cottages also allow small animals such as parakeets and rabbits if they are brought in a cage. The grounds also include a dog run that boasts an area of approximately 800 square meters, as well as walking paths surrounded by greenery, making it an ideal environment for spending a relaxing time with your dog. In addition, amenities for pets are also provided, such as jerky made from venison killed by local hunters, making your trip with your pet even more special.

There are three types of BBQ courses available, as well as an indoor shabu-shabu course.

On the terrace next to the cottage, you can finally experience the best part of glamping! You can enjoy a full-fledged BBQ without having to bring anything with you. There are three recommended BBQ courses for dinner. The most popular "Irodori" course offers about eight dishes that will get you in the outdoor mood, such as main dishes such as "Kamikomi Pork Steak," "Nakasatsunai Country Chicken BBQ Chicken," and "Lamb," as well as cold-smoked edamame, ajillo, and grilled marshmallows. The luxurious lineup, which uses plenty of local ingredients from Tokachi, Hokkaido, is very appealing.

Feriendorf has a wide range of facilities for people of all ages to enjoy nature, such as a dog run, athletic play equipment for children, and bicycle rentals. The entire site is surrounded by forest, so if you enjoy a morning or evening stroll, you may be able to encounter birds and squirrels that are hard to find in the city. When I visited in June, bracken was growing, and the flowers on the site also show different expressions depending on the season.
