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.

Japan's secret powder paradise: epic snow, transcendent sake, and endless onsen bliss.
