The terraced rice fields and beech forests, along with the lives of people coexisting with nature in the snowy region of Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, are referred to as Japan's original landscape. Among them, in the snow-rich Matsunoyama area, "Hinanoyado Chitose" awaits your visit. Here, you can enjoy the Matsunoyama Onsen, one of Japan's three major medicinal hot springs, with open-air baths fed directly from the source. We also prepare local cuisine using delicious rice and mountain vegetables nurtured by snowmelt water to welcome you.

We offer kaiseki cuisine that allows you to savor the local seasonal flavors, using fresh seafood sourced from ports within the prefecture, including Teradomari Port. Enjoy traditional local dishes such as "Mikaki Nishin-ni" (dried herring stew). The rice we serve is 100% Koshihikari, carefully cultivated by the owner, and you can enjoy freshly harvested rice in the autumn season. For breakfast, we use miso and soy sauce from Hoshino Main Store, beloved in the fermentation and brewing town of Nagaoka [Setagaya Area], to deliver a carefully crafted taste. Nishitani Onsen features a "mildly alkaline cold mineral spring" with a spring temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius, known for warming the body from the core and retaining heat. Relax and enjoy the cuisine of Koshiji and the soothing waters of the Onsen while spending a leisurely time.

A property along the Shinano River surrounded by abundant nature. Starting with homemade "Hasekake Rice" Koshihikari, the handmade local cuisine full of kindness is also appealing. Enjoying the onsen while gazing at the nature of Tsunan is another blissful moment. Please relax and unwind.
