“Ryokan Book” is a reservation platform that showcases carefully selected ryokans and hotels across Japan. We are delighted to share that our traditional folk house, “Yukinoya,” along with our guided “Tanada Trekking” (rice terrace trekking) experience, have been featured in their special editorial section, “R Journal.”

This article goes beyond a simple introduction of our facility. It shines a spotlight on the “everyday experiences” we cherish here: the unique climate of Tokamachi as a “Snow Country,” the rich food culture nurtured by the land, and the warm interactions with the local community. With stunning photography capturing scenes like local mothers preparing breakfast, the profound silence of the Satoyama, and the warmth of the traditional wooden architecture, the article perfectly conveys the true atmosphere of Tokamachi.

Seeing the charm of Tokamachi captured from the perspective of visitors from outside the prefecture and overseas offers fresh discoveries, even for us. We highly recommend this article not only to those considering a trip to Tokamachi but also to our local neighbors. The report is available in both English and Japanese—please take a look at the link below.
