At GRAND CHARIOT Big Dipper 135°, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our customers for their reservations over the New Year holidays this year.
This "special New Year's Eve" spent in a cocoon surrounded by the forest and illuminated by the stars is extremely popular with families every year.

This year's New Year's holiday, in addition to the traditional free "Toshikoshi Soba" (New Year's Eve soba), we will also be serving a New Year's feast made with Awaji Island ingredients, which our head chef has spared no time or effort in preparing.
Enjoy the taste of the New Year, packed with the blessings of Japan and the islands, in a tranquil forest villa.
You can also enjoy the luxury of stargazing at night and watching the first sunrise of the year rise over Awaji Island in the morning.
We hope you will have a great time laughing with your family, feeling refreshed, and ready to step into the new year.
