Surrounded by rich nature, the grounds look like something out of a fairy tale.

When we arrived, the first thing that caught our eyes was the vast nature that spread throughout the premises.

In a space so calm that you forget your daily routine, you can occasionally hear the chirping of wild birds.

There was a scenery right in front of me that could be described as a "slow journey."

The space inside the grounds is like being in a fairy tale, and my eldest daughter was very excited to see the scenery in front of her. lol

You can enjoy a relaxing walk while exploring nature.

Dogs are allowed in all rooms at Villa Ogabanashi, and our family stayed in the Little Garden Suite, which is probably the most popular.

There is a private small garden in front of the entrance, with a locking door, making it a safe and comfortable space.

The room also had a large terrace with an open feel, where both people and dogs could relax.

The room is fully stocked with cages and amenities for your dog.

Water and food bowls, toilet sheets, wet wipes, quick wipes, and other items are also available, which is a big plus for dog lovers.

By the way, Ringo doesn't want to go into the cage, so I brought my own bed that I always use.

This is the hot spring open-air bath that my father was looking forward to!

By the way, dogs are not allowed in the open-air bath, but they are allowed to spend time on the surrounding deck.

I wonder if Ringoro doesn't like water? That's what I thought, but when the father and daughter were soaking in the open-air bath, they saw people coming around them. lol

Enjoying the open-air bath while watching over my dog was truly the best time.

You can eat with your dog!

At Villa Otobanashi, dog lovers can enjoy meals together with their dogs.

For dinner, we had a creative Japanese kaiseki meal at the on-site restaurant ``Dining HIBA Hiba'', and Ringo guided us to the special seats. lol

*There is no menu for dogs, so if you want to eat with your dog, please bring your own food. (Bowls can be rented)

At Dining HIBA, you can enjoy ``seasonal ingredients that can only be eaten here'' prepared by the executive chef, and the open kitchen that can be seen through the glass was fresh.

(Please refer to the YouTube video of my wife for a food report. LOL)

My wife and eldest daughter looked very pleased with the extravagant creative cuisine.

Of course the food was delicious, but I was most happy that I was able to spend time with Ringo in the restaurant.

After eating dinner, we headed to the front of the lounge to watch the bonfire.

In the winter, we make a bonfire every day unless it's a rainy or windy day, and my eldest daughter was overjoyed when she was able to try her hand at roasting marshmallows.

Afterwards, he asked everyone who came over, "Would you like a marshmallow?" (People who ask can't say no lol)

For breakfast, we had a dried fish buffet at Rakuten Saryo in our sister hotel, Hotel Tokinoza.

*Pets are not allowed in the Tokinoza room, so our family had a team of father and mother.

And this is such a luxurious ingredient that it's hard to believe it's breakfast, and my wife and I were excited from the morning.

The fresh fish is grilled on a charcoal grill until it's browned, and the fragrant smell will whet your appetite.

In addition to dried fish, you can also make seafood bowls with toppings of your choice and enjoy original curry.

There are plenty of spaces within the facility where your dog can spend time comfortably!

There is also a huge dog run on the grounds of Villa Otobanashi. (There are two areas: small dog, medium & large dog area)

When my family goes on a trip with Ringo, we often consider whether there is a dog run, so this was one of the facilities we were particularly happy to have on the premises.

Additionally, all of the lounges on the premises of Villa Otobanashi are dog-friendly spaces.

*Previously, there were some lounges where dogs were not allowed, but now all dogs are allowed!

The inside of the lounge looks like this.

It was a comfortable space to take a breather, have a drink, and have a leisurely chat with friends and family.

By the way, my eldest daughter is so addicted to mango smoothies that she even drinks them before she gets home. lol

Some rooms have a foot washing area for your dog.

Even if your dog gets dirty from playing at the dog run or outside a lot, you can wash it quickly before entering your room, so you don't have to worry about it.

There are plenty of spots near the facility where you can enjoy nature!

One of the pleasures is being able to enjoy the dazzling nature when you step outside the premises of Villa Ogibanashi.

Above is a shot of the horizon that can be seen after taking a 20-30 minute walk along a nearby promenade.

This is what a stroll along the promenade looks like.

As you can see in the photo, most of the trail is made up of stairs, so we recommend enjoying it as if it were a light mountain climb.

(Here's a person who tried to match the pace of Ringoro who wanted to run, but couldn't lift his legs halfway...)

After leaving the premises and walking for a few minutes, you will find a stretch of sandy beach and crystal clear sea!

When I look at the ocean with clear water, I feel like my heart is becoming clearer.

We also found a ``door'' on the sandy beach that is perfect for a photo spot.

By the way, there was no sign of Ringoro passing by, and as you can see, even though I caught it as a snack... Tohoho

You can also enjoy SUP and kayaking with your dog in this ocean. (Ringuro doesn't like water, so he laughs bitterly)

If you want to enjoy marine activities with your dog, why not give it a try?

Enjoy a relaxing and slow trip with your dog at Villa Fairy Tale. Check out the YouTube video for details!

This time, we will be taking you on a slow trip to Villa Ogibanashi in KihokuTown.

My impression after actually spending time there was that time seemed to flow very slowly.

And no matter what scene I remembered, all I could think was, ``Oh, this was so good...'' and I was able to spend a relaxing moment.

Also, all of the staff are very kind to the dogs, and it's sure to be a great trip not only from a human perspective but also from a dog's perspective.

This Villa fairy tale experience is also available on YouTube, so please check it out if you like!
