Totally enjoyed our stay with Moto-san and Yasuko-san. The host was friendly and thoughtful. While it might appear that there is a lack of activities in winter, the host curated a series of activities for us. We had Kimono-dressing, wood-chopping, jelly and bread making, as well as snow clearing. They also showed us around the nearby town and brought us to the temple for making New Year wish.
During meals, traditional Japanese was served. The food was sumptuous and nicely laid-out. It is one of the best food we had in Japan. Yasuko-san was also generous in explaining to us how the food was prepared. The host even gifted us ingredients and jams.
A perfect rural place with the most fantastic host.
