Kimamaya by Odin
Hirafu, Japan
With nine rooms and a lounge fireplace, Kimamaya feels closer to a small mountain lodge than a large resort. Its timber-framed building sits in Hirafu, putting village restaurants within reach while offering a comfortable place to retreat after a day outside. The rooms have a soft, understated design, and the adjacent Barn by Odin takes its shape from Hokkaido farm buildings. Choose it for the personal scale and relaxed atmosphere rather than an extensive resort complex.
