From "Hard-to-Book" Urban Saunas to Private Nature Experiences: Hokuto City's "ReTune" Proposes June Stays for Refreshing During the Rainy Season

"ReTune Hokuto | SPA & SAUNA" is a private villa where guests can reserve a 2,000-tsubo property exclusively. June is the season when the fresh greenery reaches its peak.

## A Stay Experience to Refresh with Sauna and Nature
In June, when the fresh greenery deepens and the sound of rain echoes pleasantly, "ReTune | SPA & SAUNA," a private villa in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, has launched new stay proposals unique to the rainy season.

Due to the recent sauna boom, urban facilities remain crowded and hard to book. However, there is a growing movement seeking "quiet refreshment in nature" rather than "crowded saunas."

ReTune is a 2,000-tsubo private villa in the Yatsugatake southern foot area. The site features a tent sauna, natural groundwater cold bath, outdoor hot spring, riverside relaxation area, and BBQ space, allowing groups and families to enjoy a private stay. It has earned a 5.0 rating on Airbnb with 137 reviews and has been certified as a Superhost for three consecutive years.

## Overturning "Rainy Season = Hard to Travel" in Hokuto City
Travel in June is often avoided due to frequent rain. However, the Yatsugatake southern foot area in Hokuto City features a high altitude with cool mornings and evenings. Due to the terrain surrounded by mountains, there are relatively many sunny days even during the rainy season. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency's past 30-year averages (1991–2020), Hokuto city is blessed with sunshine.

## Sunny Days: "Refreshing in Nature"
On sunny days, you can experience a sense of openness unavailable in urban areas amidst the fresh greenery and riverside relaxation area. After the tent sauna, soak in the natural groundwater bath, followed by relaxation in the filtered sunlight. At night, you can enjoy BBQ on the terrace.

## Rainy Days: "Refreshing in the Sound of Rain"
ReTune views rainy days as a unique value of the stay. The tent sauna combines the crackling of firewood with the sounds of rain and the river. A mist-covered outdoor bath, humid soft air, and a quiet forest turn what is typically considered an "unfavorable day to go out" in the city into "a time to settle deeply" at ReTune.

Actual guest feedback includes:
- "The sauna and outdoor bath while listening to the rain were wonderful." (20s, group of friends)
- "A much greater experience than I imagined." (40s, corporate team)
- "Our third visit. A great memory for our family again." (50s, family)

ReTune proposes the value of "spending time doing nothing." It can be rented exclusively for up to 10 people, accommodating friend groups, family trips, or small corporate retreats. Pets are also welcome (up to two medium-sized or one large pet).
