1 hour by car from Nagoya. Stayed at Nordisk Hygge Circles UGAKEI
This accommodation is located at the foot of Mt. Ryugatake in Inabe City, Mie Prefecture. Introducing Nordisk Hygge Circles UGAKEI, created by Nordisk, an outdoor brand from Denmark.
Just an hour's drive from Nagoya. Blessed by the bounty of the mountains.
When traveling in Inabe, breathtakingly beautiful nature is within reach, harmonizing with daily life.
Colorful plants, flowers, powerful trees, crystal clear water.
As you walk through the town and take a deep breath, you realize that everything here is a blessing from the mountains.
I felt that if I traced the source of this abundance, I would surely find scenery, time, and sensations that could not be described with the word "beautiful."
It is truly a journey through life in Inabe.
Among them is the outdoor field Nordisk Hygge Circles UGAKEI, located at the foot of Mount Ryugataka, which can be said to be the source of the river, and is a camping facility where you can spend a quality time in harmony with the majestic nature of the Ugakei quasi-national park.
Cabins designed for comfort and open tents that allow you to become one with nature.
The goal of each guest is to experience the blessings of nature while fulfilling their own wishes.
It's based on the idea of Hygge.
Nordisk is a world-leading outdoor brand based in Denmark, the happiest country in the world.

Hygge is a word of Danish origin that describes a rich way of spending time, living, and mindset.
Take a leisurely stroll through the local nature and enjoy the local seasonal cuisine.
Drink coffee in the forest, read a book, or chat with friends or family around a bonfire.
Through these experiences, you can acquire a sense of freedom and "touch" that is not limited by so-called "convenience" or "luxury."
As you feel the movements of the sun, moon, and stars throughout the day, you will find that your senses are gradually sharpened in nature.
Various realizations lead to richer experiences.
Meals made with local ingredients
Being here makes me feel like there's a cycle going on.
One moment you're swimming in lush greenery, the other side of the mountains turns crimson red.
The dark night comes with dazzling moonlight, and as you sleep deeply in your bed, a refreshing forest morning arrives.
Dinner, mainly made with inabe and seasonal ingredients caught in Mie, and a traditional Danish breakfast, enrich not only us but also the local producers, and begin to circulate again.
What is cultivated here is the ability to come into contact with nature and be deeply moved.
What this place values more than entertainment is the imagination to see things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Rather than activities prepared by someone else, it is the playfulness to enjoy nature as it is and the ideas that arise from within. Rather than convenient tools, it is wisdom and skill. Rather than entertainment, it is time to talk with yourself, your friends and your family.
Listening to the murmuring of the river that brings blessings to life in Inabe, we seek out hints for living freely and richly. This experience is the value of Nordisk Hygge Circles UGAKEI.
