Enjoy a "gathering trip" with family and friends surrounded by the quiet forests of Tokachi, Hokkaido. The glamping resort "Feriendorf" in Tokachi, Hokkaido, is a popular facility where you can stay in a variety of about 50 cottages surrounded by nature. In the cold autumn and winter, it's the perfect place for a "gathering trip" where everyone can relax and enjoy themselves, sitting around a hot pot in the quiet air lit by a wood stove, or soaking in a hot spring. Plus, we're currently offering a 5,000 yen off coupon! In this article, we'll take a closer look at the charms of Feriendorf's autumn and winter season.

To end a long year. And to start a new one. Located about three and a half hours by car from Sapporo and about 15 minutes by car from Obihiro Airport, the glamping resort "Fairiendorf" spreads across the forests of Tokachi, Hokkaido. What you can get together at is not the kind of banquet you might imagine, such as a "year-end party" or "New Year's party," but rather a more natural and free way of gathering, like an "adult school trip" where you can relax and chat. Just get together, eat, laugh, and sleep together. Such simple moments are the greatest luxury.

Numerous cottages lined up within the facility

Feriendorf has around 50 cottages, including a wide variety of options, such as pet cottages where you can stay with your pets and luxury cottages with private saunas. There are a variety of cottages and plans to choose from depending on your budget and purpose.

Snacks, alcohol, and souvenirs are available for purchase at the entrance.

Plenty of amenities

From autumn to winter, more and more people enjoy spending time relaxing in their cottages. People spend their time in a variety of ways, such as gathering in front of a wood-burning stove while watching the flames, reading a book, or cooking a home-cooked meal using ingredients brought by everyone. Feriendorf is a great place to stay, where you can let time flow without having to cram too much into your schedule.

The simple and sophisticated "Forest Philosopher Series" has three cottages that are perfect for such a "gathering trip." Of the three cottages, "OJIROWASHI," "ITOU," and "HIGUMA," we stayed in "HIGUMA."

All buildings are equipped with a dining room, kitchen, shower room, and three bedrooms. If you use an extra bed, up to six people can stay (this may vary from the cottage). There are also sofas perfect for lounging and a wood-burning stove that will make you want to light a fire. Looking around the room, you will see wood carvings displayed here and there, and you will be delighted by the small details.

The beautiful yellow larch trees of Feriendorf in November

It's nice to relax right after checking in, but we also recommend taking a stroll around the grounds before the sun goes down. The well-maintained paths are easy to walk on, and the scenery surrounded by trees is full of charm. As you walk, you can hear the sounds of wild birds, spot Hokkaido squirrels, and in the snowy season, you might even spot a Japanese long-tailed tit. Even on rainy days, just looking out the window will provide you with a pleasant view.

There are also three horses on the premises! Just looking at them is soothing.

"Special Sukiyaki - Two Types of Tokachi Beef Tasting Course" where you can compare luxurious Tokachi brand beef

For dinner, you can choose from three types of hot pot made with luxurious ingredients unique to Tokachi, Hokkaido. One is the "Special Sukiyaki - Compare Two Types of Tokachi Beef" course, which allows you to compare two types of brand beef that Tokachi is proud of. The other is the "Shabu-shabu - Tokachi Kiwami" course, which allows you to enjoy a variety of meats such as Tokachi-grown Kuroge Wagyu beef, Kamikomi pork, and Nakasatsunai country chicken. And the third is the "Country Chicken Mizutaki - Enjoy Nakasatsunai's Specialty Country Chicken" course.

In addition to meat and Tokachi vegetables, the set includes seasonal sashimi, fresh eggs from Nakasatsunai, white rice, and udon noodles for the final dish. Alcohol and snacks can be purchased at the shop at the entrance.

Dinner with family and friends

Enjoying a meal in the comfort of your own cottage is something you can only experience at Feriendorf. Gathering around a hotpot naturally encourages conversation, and the unique dining experience of Hokkaido's Tokachi region will warm you to the core. We also recommend bringing some sake and enjoying it in a relaxed atmosphere.

Additionally, you can enjoy the moor hot springs and sauna at the affiliated facility "SORA." Guests can bathe as many times as they like during their stay, and once they've warmed up, they can return to their cottage right away, a luxury they can only experience during this season, as they gradually warm up in the cold air.

Warm up your body in the Hokkaido Heritage "Moor Hot Springs"

The "Moor Hot Springs" are registered as a Hokkaido Heritage Site and feature a unique dark brown water, as well as an authentic Finnish sauna. In the evening, you can have fun playing cards or UNO to celebrate the New Year holidays, or you can just relax and chat while knitting. It's also nice to open your favorite wine and enjoy some quiet time.

S'mores made by the fireplace are exceptional

I had some time to relax. My friend taught me how to knit.

We also recommend playing card games together.

It's also a great place to relax and chat over a glass of wine.

The next morning, you can choose to have a "Forest Breakfast" made with Tokachi ingredients, or you can cook your own meals in the kitchen. Basic cooking equipment is provided, so if you have a member who is a good cook, it would be fun to have them bring their own seasonings and show off their cooking skills.

You can also buy vegetables at the roadside station and make breakfast!

This is a rare opportunity. How about trying something a little more elaborate for breakfast?

Cassiopeia Coffee, roasted in Tokachi, Hokkaido, is also available for purchase at the entrance kiosk. Starting the morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee is truly blissful. Even if you stay up late, you can take your time in the morning. This high degree of freedom is also one of the charms of Feriendorf.

Hand drip coffee and mugs are available. If you want to grind your own beans, please bring your own coffee equipment.

Enjoy a leisurely morning coffee break

Tokachi in autumn and winter has the power to quietly unwind your soul. The times spent laughing, the silence shared in front of the wood stove, the air you breathe as you walk slowly through the forest... All of these experiences will surely become treasured memories that will be stored in your heart before you know it.
