Enjoy the beautiful views of rice terraces and beech forests, considered Japan's original landscape. Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, is a snowy region where people still live in harmony with nature. Our hotel, Hinano-yado Chitose, is located in Matsunoyama Onsen, a particularly snowy hot spring. Enjoy the open-air bath, which is 15 times more concentrated than Matsunoyama Onsen, one of Japan's three most medicinal hot springs, with water directly from the source. We await you with delicious rice and wild vegetables grown with melting snow, as well as other local ingredients, all made with local ingredients that can only be found in the countryside.
Hinanoyado Chitose can be booked with Timbuktu as part of a tailor-made Japan trip, rather than as a standalone room reservation. Start online, customising one of our recommended Japan trips featuring Hinanoyado Chitose or get advice and suggestions from one of our Japan specialists who will design the trip around your dates, check availability and handle every booking for you.
Stays at Hinanoyado Chitose start from around $170, or US$170, per person per night as part of a tailor-made trip. The exact price depends on your travel dates, room type and the shape of the rest of your itinerary. A Timbuktu travel specialist can give you an accurate quote for your dates.
