Rakuten STAY VILLA Kamogawa

We used this villa for a late summer family vacation. Initially, we had planned to stay at another villa, but two days prior, we were informed of a double booking. Although we agreed to the alternative accommodation offered, it was canceled the day before due to facility issues. The second alternative did not meet our preferences, so we urgently searched on our own and found this villa.It met all our conditions: a pool, sauna, and bedrooms on the first floor. Additionally, it featured luxurious facilities such as an automatic piano and a projector-equipped theater space. Upon arrival, we were surprised by the sound of the self-playing piano welcoming us inside. Check-in was smooth; entering the pre-notified key number and confirming via an in-house pad completed the process.Despite last-minute changes in plans, my family was delighted with this luxurious villa. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and relaxing in the sauna followed by another dip in the pool. My elderly mother was particularly fascinated by the piano and had her share of fun too.However, as my mother uses a wheelchair, getting over the step at the entrance proved challenging—an additional lower platform would have been helpful. While there were two bathrooms and two toilets available for use, we opted for one with artificial onsen water. If rental options like shower chairs for caregiving purposes were available, she might have been able to enjoy bathing more comfortably.The complimentary drinks stocked in the refrigerator along with free access to a beer server (3L) added excitement to our stay! With Kamogawa Sea World nearby—we visited on day two—it’s convenient to check out at 9 AM and head straight there.Although we didn’t use BBQ grills but instead cooked using grill pans indoors amidst luxurious amenities like these—there were minor inconveniences such as non-functional dishwashers or having wet dressing areas when transitioning between saunas & pools without separate pathways avoiding them altogether!Overall though spaciousness combined w/ grandeur makes ideal settings perfect whether hosting multiple families/friends groups alike! Despite hectic circumstances leading up till finalizing reservations last minute glad everything worked out well ultimately!

It was a very clean accommodation. I would like to use it again.
