Enjoy a “group getaway” with family and friends, surrounded by the quiet forests of Tokachi, Hokkaido. Feriendorf, a glamping resort in Tokachi, Hokkaido, is a popular facility with about 50 diverse cottages nestled in nature. The colder autumn and winter seasons are perfect for a “group getaway,” where you can gather around a hot pot in the tranquil atmosphere of a wood-burning stove, soak in a hot spring, and spend time freely with everyone.
Furthermore, we are currently offering a 【¥5,000 OFF Coupon】! This article will introduce the charms of Feriendorf in autumn and winter in detail.

The main entrance of Feriendorf

To wrap up a long year, and to start a new one. About a 3.5-hour drive from Sapporo and a 15-minute drive from Obihiro Airport, Feriendorf, a glamping resort spread across the forests of Tokachi, Hokkaido, offers a more natural and free way to gather—not like a typical year-end or New Year's party, but more like a relaxed “grown-up's school trip.” Simply gathering, eating, laughing, and sleeping together. Such simple moments are the greatest luxury.

The many cottages dotting the facility grounds

Feriendorf has about 50 cottages, with a wide variety of types, including pet-friendly cottages and luxury cottages with private saunas. There is a diverse range of cottages and plans to choose from to suit your budget and purpose.

Snacks, drinks, and souvenirs can be purchased at the entrance

A rich selection of amenities is also available

From autumn to winter, it's the season when more people choose to spend their time “slowly and richly” in their cottages. Everyone has their own way of enjoying their time, whether it's chatting in front of the wood-burning stove while watching the flames, reading a book, or cooking with ingredients brought from home. A stay where you don't pack your schedule and just go with the flow suits Feriendorf perfectly.

The “HIGUMA” cottage from the “Forest Philosopher Series”

Perfect for such a “group getaway,” there are three simple and sophisticated cottages in the “Forest Philosopher Series”: “OJIROWASHI,” “ITOU,” and “HIGUMA.” This time, we stayed in “HIGUMA.”

All cottages are equipped with a dining room, kitchen, and shower room, and have three bedrooms. With the use of extra beds, they can accommodate up to 6 people (※may vary by cottage). They also feature a comfortable sofa perfect for relaxing and a wood-burning stove that you'll be tempted to light. Looking around the room, you'll find wood carvings here and there, and these small details will surely delight you.

While it's nice to relax immediately after check-in, we also recommend taking a walk around the grounds before sunset. The well-maintained paths are easy to walk on, and the scenery surrounded by trees is full of charm. As you walk, you might hear the chirping of wild birds, encounter an Ezo squirrel, or even see a long-tailed tit during the snowy season. Even on a rainy day, the view from your window is a pleasant sight to behold.

There are also three horses on the grounds! Just watching them is soothing

The “Special Sukiyaki - Tokachi's Two Beef Varieties Tasting Course” lets you savor and compare luxurious Tokachi brand beef.

For dinner, you can choose from three types of hot pot dishes featuring luxurious ingredients unique to Tokachi, Hokkaido. One is the “Special Sukiyaki - Tokachi's Two Beef Varieties Tasting Course,” where you can compare two of Tokachi's proud brand beefs. Another is the “Shabu-Shabu - Tokachi Kiwami Course,” featuring a variety of meats such as Tokachi black wagyu, Kamikomi pork, and Nakasatsunai Inaka-dori chicken. The third is the “Inaka-dori Mizutaki - Savoring Nakasatsunai's Famous Inaka-dori Chicken Course.”

The set includes meat and Tokachi vegetables, as well as seasonal sashimi, fresh eggs from Nakasatsunai, white rice, and udon noodles to finish the meal. Alcoholic beverages and snacks can be purchased at the shop near the entrance.

Gathering for dinner with close family and friends

Enjoying a meal in the comfort of your cottage is another unique feature of Feriendorf. Gathering around a hot pot naturally sparks conversation, creating a dining experience unique to Tokachi, Hokkaido that warms you from the inside out. Bringing your own sake to enjoy quietly is also a great idea.

Furthermore, you can enjoy a Moor Onsen and sauna at the affiliated facility “SORA.” Guests can use the baths as many times as they like during their stay, and can return to their cottage right after warming up thoroughly—a true luxury. The feeling of warming up slowly in the cold air is a comfort unique to this season.

Warm up in the Hokkaido Heritage “Moor Onsen”

The “Moor Onsen,” a Hokkaido Heritage site, is characterized by its unique dark brown water, and there's also an authentic Finnish-style sauna. At night, you can have fun playing cards like UNO to get in the New Year's spirit, or have a quiet chat while knitting. Opening a bottle of your favorite wine and savoring the quiet time is also wonderful.

S'mores made in the fireplace are exceptional

Make the most of the relaxing time. Maybe have a friend teach you how to knit.

Having fun with everyone playing card games is also recommended

Enjoying a quiet chat over a glass of wine is also great

The next morning, you can opt for the “Forest Breakfast Featuring Tokachi Ingredients” or cook for yourself using the kitchen. Basic cooking utensils are provided, so if you have a skilled cook in your group, it would be fun to have them show off their skills with some seasonings you bring along.

Buy some vegetables at a roadside station and make your own breakfast!

Since you have the chance, why not try making a slightly elaborate breakfast?

“Cassiopeia Coffee,” roasted in Tokachi, Hokkaido, is also available for purchase at the entrance shop. Waking up to a freshly brewed cup is pure bliss. Even if you stay up late, you can have a slow morning. This high degree of freedom is another charm of Feriendorf.

A hand drip and mugs are provided. If you want to grind your own beans, it's best to bring your own coffee equipment.

Enjoy a leisurely morning coffee time

Autumn and winter in Tokachi have a power that gently soothes the soul. The moments of laughter, the shared silence in front of the wood-burning stove, the crisp air of the forest you walked through. All of it will surely build up in your heart as precious memories before you know it.
