A "Passport-Free Britain" Exists in Fukushima

I had the opportunity to stay overnight at British Hills, a facility where you can experience "Passport-Free Britain"!

Located in Ten'ei Village, Iwase District, Fukushima Prefecture, British Hills is a British cultural experience accommodation facility situated at an altitude of 1,000 meters in the Hatoriko Highlands. Spanning over 70,000 tsubo (approximately 23 hectares), the grounds are filled with buildings that faithfully recreate medieval British architecture. From manor houses and guesthouses to cobblestone streets and streetlights, the atmosphere makes you feel as though you've stepped into Britain itself.

Access is convenient, with a reserved shuttle bus taking about 40 minutes from Shin-Shirakawa Station. It's also just about two and a half hours from central Tokyo by train and car, making it an accessible getaway to enjoy an extraordinary experience in a nature-rich environment. Check-in is at 3:00 PM, and check-out is at 10:00 AM.

Within the facility, there are restaurants, tea rooms, and pubs where you can savor British cuisine. Additionally, there are various activities such as manor house tours, language training, and craft workshops, allowing guests to learn about British culture during their stay.

I was personally captivated by the enchanting atmosphere of the facility!
