The best location surrounded by Japan's finest nature
OdaiTown is surrounded by rich forests and water, including the Miyagawa River, the clearest stream in Japan, and the unexplored Osugidani Valley, which is counted as one of Japan's three major canyons, and is also certified as a UNESCO Eco Park. It is accessible in about two and a half hours from Osaka or Nagoya, and has long attracted families and outdoor enthusiasts as a place where you can easily take a trip to an extraordinary space. Recently, work environment such as Wi-Fi has been improved, and it is attracting attention as a place where you can stay and work in the forest, which is a bit different from the city or resort.
The entire area maintains a relaxing space, and the accommodations and activities are all luxurious at ``Natural Distance.'' You will definitely be able to concentrate on your work while feeling the great outdoors without having to worry about the 3 Cs.
Okuise Forest Pier, a hotel nestled in the forest
At Okuise Forest Pier, a lodging facility nestled in the forest, you can choose from three ways to stay: hotel, cottage, or campsite. The hotel has a workspace equipped with an LCD display, projector, and printer, making it the perfect location to work while looking out at the trees in the courtyard and the mountains beyond. The cottages are spacious, have a kitchen and cooking space, and have plenty of power cords, making them ideal for corporate use by multiple people. Power is available on the balcony of the cottage facing the river that flows through the site, and the campsite is also equipped with a Wi-Fi environment, so you can work comfortably while feeling the atmosphere of the great outdoors.
There are also plenty of facilities to soothe your tired body from work and enjoy your time off. At the hot spring facility in Okuise Forest Pier, you can enjoy forest bathing in the open-air bath, and the seasonal medicinal herbal bath made with locally grown medicinal herbs is highly fragrant and has excellent healing effects. ``Restaurant Angers'' offers creative French dinners, and restaurant staff will serve you the ingredients at the BBQ site, allowing you to easily enjoy the seafood and mountain delicacies of Okuise.
“Yadoya Matemate” is a guesthouse where you can enjoy the spectacular view all to yourself.
At Yadoya Matemate, a guesthouse that opened in the summer of 2017, you can see the clear Miyagawa River flowing right in front of you, and at night you can play in the river while looking at the starry sky, allowing you to have the great nature of Okuise all to yourself. The accommodation has a spacious capacity of 6 people, and can accommodate both families and companies. In addition to the excellent Wi-Fi environment, if you stay for three or more consecutive nights, you can rent an outdoor desk and chair for free, and when you're tired from work, you can bask in the sun on the wooden deck while listening to the babbling of a clear stream. Enjoy a luxurious stay.
Enjoy your time off with a wide variety of outdoor programs
One of the attractions is the abundant outdoor programs that make full use of the great outdoors. There are programs that can be enjoyed by everyone from hardcore outdoor enthusiasts to beginners, allowing you to spend your off-season activities actively. With programs provided by Verde Odai Tourism, you can experience activities that suit you, including a private guide, program information, equipment rental, and more.
For example, SUP is popular among people of all ages. The Miyagawa River, which is the field, has a calm water flow, so even beginners and children can enjoy it with peace of mind. The Miyagawa River's water is so clear that you can see the bottom, which soothes your tired mind from work. The SUP venue can be easily accessed by a 5-minute walk from Matemate Inn and about 20 minutes by bicycle (10 minutes by car) from Okuise Forest Pier.Work at the inn in the morning, and spend the afternoon at the waterside. You can flexibly switch ON/OFF even on weekdays, such as actively refreshing.
Climbing Osugidani, which is known as one of Kansai's most unexplored areas with a lush virgin forest, is also popular. In addition to a ``Mountain Hut Overnight Tour'' that takes you through 7 waterfalls, 11 suspension bridges, and primeval forests, we offer a wide variety of programs to suit your schedule and level, including a day-trip mountain climbing program that even beginners can easily try. You can spend a fulfilling time off while enjoying the spectacular scenery created by the rich nature.
If you are visiting by public transportation, there is no need to worry about getting around the area. At Okuise Forest Pier and Matemate Inn, you can rent sophisticated-looking e-bikes. It can travel approximately 100km in standard mode, and approximately 50km in power mode with stronger assist functions, making it ideal for traveling to a meeting point for an outdoor program or for a change of pace between work.
Safe and secure on/off operation with infectious disease prevention measures based on guidelines
Each accommodation facility and outdoor program has created individual guidelines and is implementing measures to prevent infectious diseases, so you can spend your time on and off with peace of mind.
In addition to the natural distance that makes it difficult to create the 3Cs, such as the private space of the entire building and outdoor activities, we also take thorough measures to prevent infectious diseases, such as temperature checks for travelers, acrylic boards at the front desk and restaurants, and staff wearing masks. I feel safe.
OdaiTown is developing a working environment based on the concept of "playing with water that stays in the forest." You can forget about the city and enjoy a luxurious on/off experience.
