Farmer's Home Stay Agri-Asano Farm

○Outline of the property
This farmhouse guest house is located about 20 minutes by car from Lake Tazawa, the deepest lake in Japan, and Kakunodate, known as Michinoku's Little Kyoto. There are famous sightseeing spots and natural scenic spots nearby, as well as nationally famous hidden hot springs such as Nyuto Onsenkyo (hot-spring village) and Tamagawa Onsen(hot spring), making it an attractive place where green tourism and sightseeing are fused together.

We grow about 60 varieties of organic and pesticide-free vegetables annually, and most of the vegetables served at our meals are homegrown. My wife and I have enjoyed international exchange for many years and love to actively interact with our guests. We look forward to welcoming you to our home while growing organic, pesticide-free vegetables.
