Sakuraoka Retreat Lodge Norheim

As the title suggests, I decided to embark on a journey. Perhaps it was this feeling that led me to choose Norheim for this trip. The attention to detail, artistic sense, and interior design that skillfully uses empty spaces and carefully selected decor—everything here invites you to touch and feel its charm. It made me think, "I want to live here." That's how captivating it is.

This was my first time using this accommodation. The woman who guided me through the facility at the beginning was very polite and thorough, so I had no trouble and enjoyed a wonderful day. For dinner, we chose a barbecue with seafood, vegetables, meat, and even additional venison prepared for us. Everything was incredibly delicious and highly satisfying. The venison in particular had no gamey taste and was truly delightful. The accommodation itself was user-friendly with excellent amenities—truly outstanding. If there’s one regret, it’s that one night wasn’t enough! (laughs) Next time, I’ll make a reservation for two or more nights! I look forward to visiting during the snowy season next time!
