GREEN STAY

A Family Holiday to Breathe Deeply – 3 Days, 2 Nights at Holiday House GREEN GARDEN

Nestled in the serene Hirugano Highlands of Gifu, Holiday House GREEN GARDEN is a lifestyle hotel designed for families to unwind, reconnect, and simply breathe. Surrounded by fresh mountain air and the beauty of nature through all four seasons, your stay in a cozy Nordic-style villa feels just like living here.

In this article, we’ll introduce a model 3-day, 2-night stay in a villa — a trip where family bonds grow stronger.

DAY 1: Your Journey Begins in the Refreshing Highland Air

At an altitude of around 900 meters, the air of Hirugano Highlands offers a crisp freshness you won’t find from any air conditioner. Even in the height of summer, the mornings and evenings stay cool—making it the perfect summer retreat. The moment you arrive by car, your senses shift into the rhythm of nature.

Check in at a lobby inspired by the forests of Scandinavia

Head to the front desk in the main hotel building to check in. In a warm, wood-themed lobby reminiscent of a Nordic forest, our staff will provide you with a local area map and recommendations. It’s the perfect start to your family adventure.

Your "Second Home" in a Nordic-Inspired Villa

After checking in, drive your car to your private villa. Scattered across spacious grounds, each standalone villa feels like your very own holiday home. As soon as the kids step inside, they rush off to explore every corner. A lawn garden, a private terrace—and a cozy living room with views of the greenery outside. With sparkling eyes, they ask, “Is this our house now?”

Awaken Your Senses Through Nature on Our Grounds

Search for medaka fish in the biotope, or gather acorns and walnuts in the forest. As children excitedly ask, “What’s this?”, their wonder brings smiles to the faces of adults too. The murmuring stream, birdsong, the scent of the breeze—these gentle gifts of nature spark discoveries that become cherished family memories.

BBQ on Your Private Terrace – A Table to Share the Day's Memories

Enjoy a BBQ dinner on the terrace of your villa. Savor freshly grilled Hida beef* as you reflect on the day’s discoveries. More than just photos, it’s a moment to capture in your heart. Laughter from your family gently echoes across the highland at dusk.

A Peaceful Night Beneath the Stars

On a clear night, take a lantern in hand and wander to a secret stargazing spot. Among the trees in the quiet forest, the stars peeking through the branches will take your breath away. After the children have fallen asleep, the stillness of the night sets the perfect stage for adults to share quiet conversations under the stars.

DAY 2 – A Day to Embrace the Senses

Today is a day for the whole family to gently connect with nature.

Start your morning with a deep breath of fresh air, then pick wildflowers, take a stroll to the “Hirugano Watershed Park,” or visit the “Hirugano Highland Kiso Horse Ranch.”
Each moment offers a sense of wonder that you won't find in everyday life.

Play or relax — it’s all up to you. A family holiday made your own.

Enjoy a picnic lunch made with fresh local ingredients, then spend the afternoon savoring chiffon cake at the café.

A peaceful moment where children draw and adults brew coffee.

At GREEN GARDEN, it’s not about what you do — it’s about who you share it with.
That’s the true charm of a holiday here.

This guest-favorite dish is available year-round at Holiday House GREEN GARDEN. Whether you dine indoors or out on the terrace, the rich, juicy flavor of premium Hida beef makes for an unforgettable meal. Gather around the table and relive the memories of your day in the mountains with those who matter most.

DAY 3 — A Gentle Departure, Carrying the Memories

On your final morning, wake with the soft light of dawn and the sounds of birdsong. Take a deep breath, savor breakfast, and share a quiet moment saying, “Let’s come back again someday.” It’s the perfect way to close your journey.

With a relaxed itinerary, there’s no need to rush. Until check-out, make yourself at home and enjoy the slow, peaceful pace—just like in your own second home.
