Echū Yamada Station × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

A secluded Accommodation nestled amid lush mountains and the far-reaching fields of the plains. Enjoy dishes made with fresh Toyama ingredients and a setting framed by the scattered villages of the Nanto Plain and surrounding mountains. Warm yourself to the core in our “warming bath,” rich in moisturizing minerals, and spend a truly special time here.

A land nourished by abundant water: the Tonami region in western Toyama Prefecture. Philosopher Soetsu Yanagi once called the power created by nature and people together “dotoku” (the virtue of the land), and found in this region’s way of life an expression of the Mingei movement. Moribitosha, inspired by dotoku, is a gathering place for shaping a beautiful way of living for the future. A former training hall designed by Yanagi’s close disciple Keiichi Yasukawa has been renovated to include an auditorium, a Hotel, a café and shop, and telework spaces. Join classes and activities, talk with others, stay overnight, enjoy tea, settle in for a longer workation or creative retreat, and connect with local residents—so that your time here becomes learning itself and nourishment for everyday life. In a space filled with Mingei beauty, let’s think together about how we want to live beautifully from here on.
