ブリティッシュヒルズ, Theme park and cultural facility in Ten-ei, Japan.
British Hills is a recreation and education facility at 1,000 meters elevation in forested terrain with manor houses and educational buildings designed after English examples. The site combines overnight accommodations with instructional spaces where language programs and training sessions operate throughout the day.
The Sano Educational Foundation established British Hills in 1994 as a language center designed to replicate medieval British structures. The site was developed specifically to create a British environment for language instruction and cultural education.
The facility shows authentic English manor architecture, with buildings that recreate the appearance of genuine English estates. Visitors experience how these spaces function daily, used by staff from Commonwealth nations who lead language programs and cultural activities.
The location sits roughly two and a half hours from Tokyo and operates as both a hotel and training center with various activity options. The site offers seasonal programs and specialized language instruction, with different offerings depending on the time of day and season.
The elevation creates cool summers and snowy winters with morning mists that naturally mirror British weather patterns. This natural setting reinforces the feeling of being in an actual English environment.
