About Us

Hi there! We're the Nishiharas — a travel family of six, living between Hokkaido, Okinawa, and California, spending half the year on the road. Winters in Hokkaido's mountains, spring by the southern sea, summers wherever the world takes us. We're a family that never stops exploring.

For us, a place to stay is an extension of the journey itself. We didn't start Cozy Stay to maximize profit — we started it because we genuinely want every guest to feel at home. Traveling the world with four kidshas taught us exactly what travelers need: the anxiety of an unfamiliar check-in, the inconvenience of traveling with children, the exhaustion of a long journey. We've lived all of it. So we built our properties to quietly solve those moments, one detail at a time.

That care shows in the numbers: nearly 1,700 Airbnb reviews and a 4.98 rating. A score like that, at that volume, doesn't come by accident — and we're proud of it.

Every property is managed directly by us — no outsourcing, no third-party crews, no middlemen. Cleaning, guest communication, every fixture and piece of furniture: handled by people who know what it means to travel. That's why our hospitality feels different.

Of all the places we've called home, Hokkaido is special. It started with snowboarding trips back in college, but we fell completely in love. Beyond Niseko, there's Asahikawa's crisp powder, Higashikawa's stunning scenery, extraordinary local produce, and onsens that warm you to the bone. We want to show you the real Hokkaido — through the eyes of travelers who've searched it out.

We hope your stay in Hokkaido becomes a memory you'll carry forever. We can't wait to welcome you.
