Wineshark Nice Hotel - Tenku no Niwa Tenmamu 天空の庭 天馬夢

We then drive to the hotel for the night, Tenku no Niwa Tenmamu 天空の庭 天馬夢. It is a health resort on a vast site, surrounded by a sense of openness and warmth of wood.

Instead of the main building, I have booked Renka no Ike 蓮華の池, a stand-alone 90 sqm hut on another hill, accessible only by a vehicle.

The big room in the hut is serving as both living and bedroom, and pets are allowed. In the big living room, there is a hanging chair and cushions so we can relax and enjoy a good movie from the projector and screen.

There are also two sofas, along with a fireplace to create a cosy and warm ambience. Unfortunately, our visit is in summer, so we do not use it. There is a big fridge keeping the beverages, with also a wine cellar as well.

On the other side of the big room is the bedroom section, with two large, comfortable beds.

Through the side door it leads to another part of the hut, which has the restroom, bathroom, make-up room, together with a closet, with washing machine available.

There is a big bathtub in the bathroom apart from the showers, with windows looking out to the veranda.

Sitting on the hanging chair to enjoy the view of the grassland in front and the lake further back, the quietness and privacy of staying in nature is a priceless experience. There is a golf set in the hut to practise driving from the veranda.

There is also another small outhouse which can be served as additional space for bigger family.  

At the corner of the hut is the outdoor dining table, with a BBQ gas stove to prepare dinner for the night.

There is a sunbath chair on the side, along with an outdoor bathtub.

For those who want more adventure, a tent with heater is installed nearby, allowing one to experience camping at the same time.

The pre-ordered BBQ set is luxurious, with seafood, meat, and plenty of vegetables included. All the utensils, including camp lanterns, are prepared in a box, along with the instruction on how to operate the stove, and the method/time to cook the food. Very thoughtful with the details.

Apart from the BBQ dinner, the hotel has also arranged egg sandwiches in the fridge for breakfast, where we can use the toaster to heat it up for a hearty meal together with the coffee or tea provided. The total cost of the stay is 97,600 yen for two, including dinner and breakfast plus beverages.
