A plan for enjoying FARM VILLA taku in autumn and winter (September to April) at a seasonal rate. Recommended for 2-4 guests.

Autumn and winter at FARM VILLA taku have a stillness different from summer. The air is clear, and the pastures are covered in snow and frost. Watch the fire in the wood stove and take your time over a morning of cheese and soup.

Guests often tell us about the comfort of the building, the hours spent in the lounge, and being able to pass the days without hurrying. It is a season suited to cooking and staying in, rather than rushing around sightseeing.

We recommend staying two nights or more. The second day opens up time to slowly savor the grassland scenery, the wood stove, the food, and the quiet.

• About FARM VILLA taku

• FARM VILLA taku is a private villa built by dairy farmers themselves in Nakashibetsu, one of Japan's largest dairy regions in eastern Hokkaido. Twenty minutes by car from Nakashibetsu Airport, the 200-square-meter villa stands on a small hill with grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see. There are no other buildings around - just one villa in the open pasture.

• In autumn, warm up by the wood stove as the trees change color. In winter, enjoy sledding and snowshoeing in the snow-covered pastures.

• The villa consists of an entrance (main building) and a guest building with two bedrooms, each with its own bath and toilet. Each room has two semi-double beds, and we recommend up to 4 guests. The sofa bed can be converted into two extra single beds, for a maximum of 8 guests.

• A spacious kitchen and living room let you cook with fresh local ingredients. In the evening, light the wood stove and enjoy cheese from our farm's cheese workshop with wine or local craft beer.

• Separately from the welcome food, you can pre-order the taku Farm Meal Kit as a paid dinner option: prepped local ingredients, sauces, and a recipe card, needing only a short finish in the kitchen.

• Until the end of October, guests staying two nights or more can join an early-morning farm tour - please ask when booking.

• * Please order meal kits and experiences at least one week before your stay.

• Reservations are limited to one group per day. If your dates are set, please check availability on the calendar. For a slower stay, two nights or more is recommended.
