The luxury of having the 150-year-old traditional house “Furusawa Residence” all to yourself. In this 199 m² space, the four seasons of Tokamachi and the life of Japan’s snow country live on. In spring, wild mountain vegetables begin to sprout; in summer, a cool breeze sweeps across the rice fields under a sky full of stars. In autumn, golden terraced paddies signal the harvest; in winter, in profound silence, gather around the wood-burning stove. And brightening your morning is a warm homemade breakfast prepared at the Accommodation by local mothers. Freshly cooked Uonuma Koshihikari rice and nourishing regional dishes will soothe you to the core. Beneath thick historic beams, surrender to modern comfort and take in Japan’s timeless landscapes with all five senses. Each visit brings a different rich story—waiting just for you.
