In the serene northern part of Awaji Island, perched on a hill surrounded by crisp, refreshing air, stands the luxury villa "GRAND CHARIOT Hokuto Shichisei 135°." The villa offers two specially designated dog-friendly rooms where guests can stay with their beloved dogs.
This winter, the villa will offer a limited-time package called "Luxury Winter Retreat with Your Dog," available from February 1st (Sunday) to March 19th (Thursday), 2026, where both dinner and breakfast can be enjoyed in the privacy of your room alongside your canine companion.
