"Grand Chariot Big Dipper 135°" is a luxury villa facility located in Hyogo Prefectural Awajishima Park Anime Park "Nijigen no Mori" where you can enjoy the view of the ocean and mountains.In February 2022, 7 locations in Hyogo Prefecture and 137 locations nationwide were selected as ``PLATINUM HOTELS Finest Accommodations'' (Rakuten Travel) out of approximately 55,000 accommodation facilities nationwide. This is a lodging facility with a traditional Japanese style.The meals are supervised by Haruyuki Yamashita, who has 13 restaurants in Japan and overseas, including Tokyo Midtown.By interacting and exchanging opinions with people involved in agriculture, fishing, and livestock farming on Awaji Island, you will be able to enjoy custom-made dishes that can only be enjoyed here, which is why Awaji Island is called ``food country.''Awaji beef Sankai tomato sukiyaki made with carefully selected highest grade Awaji beef, raw sea urchin from Awaji Island, and mineral-rich onions from Awaji Island. Our facility uses only the highest-ranking Awaji beef, of which only about 150 cows are certified each year after passing various standards.We use fresh vegetables purchased from partner farmers. Add plenty of vegetables to the pot, remove the moisture, and create a pot that concentrates the natural flavor of the vegetables. Add Awaji beef to it and enjoy it with our special sauce. This is a course where you can enjoy the original taste of the meat along with the glossy and sweet rice from Awaji Island.The guest rooms include the Hello Kitty room and the character room from the Nijigen no Mori attraction.The room is a space reminiscent of a cocoon. The starry sky viewed from the skylight over 5 meters high is like a natural planetarium, and in the morning, the morning sun shines through and envelopes you in the island's rich nature. All rooms are equipped with cypress baths, where you can enjoy a relaxing moment.It was a highly recommended, top-notch lunch where you can enjoy a meal that takes full advantage of the charm of carefully selected ingredients from the rich mountain and sea foods of Awaji Island, which has a food self-sufficiency rate of over 100%.

I like Naruto, so I used the Naruto concept room and it was really great. I think it's irresistible for Naruto fans. Not only the room, but the food was also very delicious, and the staff was very attentive. It's a bit difficult to get there since it's from Tokyo, but if I have the chance, I'd definitely stay here again!

It was a wonderful room where you could feel the warmth of the wood and the cleanliness. The interior was designed with attention to detail, the sounds of birds chirping when you woke up in the morning, the delicious meals made with local ingredients, and the welcome drink and fruit service...I had a very luxurious time.The hotel staff were extremely hospitable and very kind and I was impressed. The same goes for this hotel, and at other facilities as well, I could feel the passion of the people of Awaji Island, saying, ``Let's all liven up Awaji Island!''It's easily accessible from Awaji Island, Osaka, and Kobe, so I really liked it. I would definitely go again!Thank you for the wonderful memories.

This luxurious glamping is quite an oxymoron as the room feels, smells and looks like you are sleeping in an overpriced sauna room.While local Japanese seem to enjoy the European style course dinners and are fascinatined by the whole luxurious campung experience on a hill, rest assured this place is not catered nor is it foreigners friendly in many ways and has understated tones of that from various staff and management throughout the stay.I would highly recommend choosing better alternatives and skip this one altogether. No bang for the buck whatsoever.

I stayed here with my family from Osaka during summer vacation.It was windy and comfortable even though it was hot, and the nights were cool!We took lots of photos at the stylish cottage. There was a skylight directly above the bed, and it felt nice to catch the morning sun, but it was bright and woke me up quickly around 5am.They provide eye masks, but the children didn't want to wear them, so they woke up because of the glare. I wanted to sleep more slowly. .The meals are luxurious and filling both in the evening and in the morning!I would love to stay there again if it didn't have a skylight!

We stayed here as a couple in our 20s. I am very satisfied with the room in the entire building. It was clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was perfect. However, it's in the mountains, so if you don't like insects, you might want to be prepared. Perhaps due to the season, earthworms roam outside at night. Since it is located inside Nijigen no Mori, I am very satisfied with the attraction. (separate fee) *We received free tickets for SPY×FAMILY!Perhaps by chance, I didn't have any small children with me, so I was very happy that I was able to spend a very peaceful time there.
