Have a special holiday! Villa Vacance Kyoto Kizawa (with jacuzzi and sauna) Turn your vacation into a vacation!

This unique place has a style all its own. Newly built and opened in October 2023, the host lives in the management room on the ground floor, but it feels like you are renting the entire building. The entire 2nd floor is private. The spacious LDK, centered around the Graftec island kitchen, is of course the most characteristic space of the villa, but the sky terrace, with its outdoor sofa, sauna (available from 18: 00 to 22: 00), jacuzzi, and a projector up to 100 inches, allows you to enjoy movies and more. In addition, there is a full-scale BBQ grill from Broil King, made in Canada, so you can enjoy a barbecue at any time, and you can also enjoy the feeling of glamping. (The BBQ grill is better suited for thick steaks than for so-called yakiniku meat.) In addition, the Osaka/Kansai Expo will be held from April 13, 2025, and the venue can be reached in as little as 90 minutes from the nearest station (Kizu Station, about 15 minutes on foot).

In front of the guesthouse runs a stream that is a source of Lake Biwa and its water is crystal clear ; in early summer nights many fireflies fly over the stream. In winter, we have a lot of snow ; sometimes it reaches 2 meters from the ground! On clear nights you can enjoy the sky full of stars.
