Odagiri Garden is a vast 40,000m2 site with about 20 tree houses of different shapes. It's lush and there's a stream, so it looks great for kids! You can watch the stars while having a BBQ at night☆ The tree houses are lined up and it's a very picturesque place. You can choose your favorite tree house when you make a reservation and stay there! I was surprised that it was handmade. The owner, an old man, runs it by himself. It seems that there is no bath but a shared flush toilet. But, you should really think of it as a wooden box and prepare! There are no beds or refrigerators, so you should bring camping gear! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌲~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ point 💫You should prepare as if you were going camping 💫Even in May, the temperature drops in the mornings and evenings, so be sure to bring the proper gear. I think a winter sleeping bag is best. 💫Even if they say they have sleeping bags, they are mostly rented out, so you should expect that they won't be available. 💫By the way, I was a total camping novice and stayed there with only light equipment, and it was so cold I almost died. 💫You can get a discount on the bathing facilities at nearby hotels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🌲~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treehouse Village Odagiri Garden 📍4597-12 Takaku-he, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun 🚗8.8km from Nasu Kogen Smart IC ⏰Check-in 12:00~ Check-out 12:00 📞Make reservations by phone 9:00~21:00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~🫧~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ※This information is current, so please check it out before you go!

And above all, the hot spring♨The slightly brown, cloudy water is said to have a skin-beautifying effect❣ This is a recommended glamping facility that can be enjoyed by couples, families, and friends! 📍5461-1 Takaku-ko, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture 325-0304 #breathtakingview #glamping #Nasu #trip2022

The Nasu Stained Glass Museum is said to have been built with a manor house motif. It gives the impression of a medieval aristocrat's home, like those you see in the European countryside. ◎ The museum uses antique stained glass, mainly from the 1800s, and is also used to decorate the entire wall of St. Raphael Chapel. The timing of the light shining in was truly beautiful!! You can also listen to live pipe organ performances in the chapel at set times♪ ⛪️Spot name: Nasu Stained Glass Museum 📍Location: 1790 Takaku-hei, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture 🕰️Opening hours: Museum 9:30-16:30 Shop (inside and outside the museum) 9:30-16:30 *Closed every Wednesday 💰Admission fee: Adults (regular price) 1,300 yen Junior high and high school students 800 yen Elementary school students 500 yen Children free Discount for people with disabilities 700 yen 🅿️Parking: Free parking available #Domestic travel #Tochigi #0 yen trip February 2025
