In fact, there is "Britain" in Fukushima's Hatori Plateau. There you will find a British style that has been carefully chosen in every aspect, from the buildings to the furnishings. I can almost hear people saying, ``It's not that big of a deal anyway, even if I say England.''

But you'll understand when you actually go there. There are wonderful facilities that realistically represent the British Middle Ages with a higher degree of reproduction than I expected.

This time, we would like to introduce you to Fukushima's British Hills, which is also known as Britain where you don't need a passport.

British Hills roots

In the southern part of Fukushima Prefecture is the Hatoriko Plateau, which extends from Mt. Shirakawa Nunobiki. This area is full of spacious leisure spots such as ski slopes and golf courses, as well as vacation homes.

British Hills is the centerpiece of this area.

It was established in 1994 by Sano Gakuen Educational Corporation, which also operates Kanda Linguistics University. It is characterized by its large site of 73,000 tsubo.

A stunning reproduction of medieval England! Famous as a filming location for dramas

There are manor houses, guest houses, pubs, and tea rooms. The townscape of medieval England has been faithfully recreated, and everything from lodging to language study is available here.

It is a sight that you cannot see in Japan, so it is often used for filming dramas. Famously, it was used in ``Boys Over Flowers'' and ``Mei-chan's Butler.''

Enjoy a taste of England by staying in a guesthouse

British Hills has nine guesthouses. Each one has a different architectural style. The buildings are named after famous British historical figures, such as Newton and Henry II.

You can enjoy a blissful time at this restaurant where you can enjoy a luxurious full-course dinner.

A standard room with dinner for one night costs 21,500 yen per person. A special room called a luxury suite will cost about 37,000 yen per person.

Everything is in English, perfect for language training

It also serves as a learning facility. All conversations within Hills are conducted in English. The currency used is British Hills Pound.

Everything is in English, from checking in at the guesthouse to ordering at the restaurant to talking at the pub. The scenery that unfolds is that of medieval England. We have the perfect environment for those who want to do residential learning.

Of course, for those whose purpose is not to study, an environment where only English is available can be stressful. In such cases, we can provide assistance in Japanese if you wish.

Summary about British Hills

I have introduced Fukushima to the UK. Initially, British Hills was to be used only as a language training facility.

However, based on the philosophy that learning a language is learning about a country's culture, British townscapes have been faithfully recreated. The architectural style is the same as that used in medieval England.

All interior furnishings and building materials are ordered from the UK. This is a recommended spot for people who want to experience the real Britain.

Another great thing about it is that you can enjoy different charms depending on the season.
