Life Base Camp, a General Incorporated Association (Headquarters: Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture;Representative Director: Atsuki Nakamura) will begin offering a new weekday-only “Dog Retreat Plan” at “Mimoza Retreat NASU,” a private villa where guests can stay as if they were at a hotel, starting Tuesday, September 8, 2026.

This plan further expands upon the existing pet-friendly plan, which has been well-received by many guests, and significantly enhances pet-related services to ensure that guests with large dogs, multiple dogs, or cats can enjoy a more worry-free stay.Going beyond simply being “pet-friendly,” we offer a stay where your dog takes center stage during the quiet weekdays of the Nasu Highlands.

In recent years, the number of guests who view their pets as cherished family members and wish to travel with them has been increasing year by year. At the same time, we have received many concerns and complaints specific to traveling with pets, such as “being turned away because of a large dog,” “additional fees piling up for multiple pets,” and “worries about compatibility when sharing a dog run with other dogs.”

At “Mimoza Retreat NASU,” we’ve responded to these guest concerns by building on our existing pet-friendly plans and updating them to provide an even more personalized experience for guests traveling with pets. By focusing on weekdays—when the resort is relatively quiet—we’ve made it possible to offer “exclusive use of the facility” and “attentive hospitality,” which are difficult to provide during busy weekends.We confidently recommend this plan to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay in Nasu while avoiding the weekend crowds, or to those planning a weekday getaway to spend some leisurely time with their dog.

Enjoy a BBQ featuring Nasu Highlands Japanese Black Beef and a campfire—a unique experience only at Mimoza Retreat NASU—together with your dog. Play in the spacious dog run, take a walk in the woods, and gather around the campfire at night—enjoy a full day where “your dog takes center stage.”

[About “Mimoza Retreat NASU”]

A bright and airy bedroom

Spacious living room

“Mimoza Retreat NASU” is an accommodation facility featuring private villas, each characterized by its mimosa-colored design, where guests can stay surrounded by the great outdoors of the Nasu Highlands.

After exploring Nasu’s primeval forests on the on-site Gyro Ride and getting some exercise at the dog run, you can return to the villa to relax and spend quality time chatting with friends and family.The interior features accent wallpaper to create a relaxing atmosphere. Indirect lighting adds to the mood, allowing you to enjoy a calm and peaceful evening. Additionally, since the bedrooms are divided into Western-style and Japanese-style rooms, the villa is ideal for accommodating multiple groups. The layout, which moderately separates the living room from the bedrooms, ensures privacy for each group while still allowing everyone to relax comfortably within the villa.

Furthermore, the entire property is enclosed by a fence. In addition to preventing guests from wandering off, and although there have been no bear sightings to date, we prioritize your peace of mind above all else, ensuring you can enjoy your stay in an environment where the risk of encountering wildlife is minimized as much as possible.
