New Farm Stays,
Agriturismo
The name and concept came from seeing the practice of `agriturismo` (agritourism) in Italy which is a combination of the Italian words `agricoltura`, meaning agriculture, and `turismo`, meaning tourism.
It is a farm stay where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the local ingredients and rich nature.
With Agriturismo in Ohtawara, you can stay in a traditional Japanese house or storehouse and enjoy real Japanese food and experiences unique to Ohtawara, a place to relax and feel nature.
Enjoy fresh ingredients and gather
together for a meal at the family's table.
Dishes prepared with fresh ingredients that represent the local food culture.
You may be able to eat the ingredients you harvested yourself!
Spend a relaxing time in the countryside living spaces which may feature
traditional elements such as an earthen pot cook stove,
wood stove, and horigotatsu(Japanese heated table with a recessed floor underneath).
Agriturismo
The farm stays are at Japanese-style accommodations.
Interacting with the farmer's family creates memorable experiences.

Hanazono
Hanazono is a farmhouse accommodation run by rice farmers and has continued for 15 generations. The hotel is surrounded by a vast Japanese rural landscape with especially beautiful views of the shining stars at night. Nearby are the majestic Nikko and Nasu mountain ranges, beautiful rivers gushing out of the mountains, and the Miyako Tanago, a natural monument. You can cook your own rice in a traditional kamado stove and prepare vegetables freshly harvested from the farm in a fully equipped kitchen. This is an accommodation where you can relax and enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature with the chorus of frogs, chirping of birds, the sound of the wind echoing in the rice fields.

和印〜WAIN〜
Our farming journey began after having moved from Tokyo. We produce organic and pesticide-free vegetables to provide our customers with the safest vegetables possible. There is a wood stove installed in the main house, so you can try your hand at chopping wood and also enjoy grilling potatoes and pizza using the wood stove. The warehouse and barn built in the early Showa period on the premises underwent large-scale renovation work in 2023 and was renovated into a new accommodation facility that can accommodate two families (up to 8 people). While retaining the atmosphere of a traditional old storehouse and barn, there are two bathrooms and kitchens so that overseas guests can spend their time comfortably with enough space for two families. In the 2,000 square meter garden on the premises, you enjoy spending time with our two rescue dogs and have a BBQ in the garden.
