"Welcome back" "I'm home"
Even if we're far apart, we can still have a connection like neighbors.
In an age where relationships between neighbors have become weak, why not try a new style of interacting with your neighbors?
When you experience farming at the inn, you can meet your neighbors working on the farm.
Let's talk to people in the area.
When you come back to this place, say ""I'm home"" and ""Welcome back.""
The conversation will flow naturally.
May this place become your second home.
Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture. It is the area with the heaviest snowfall in Japan, and is also the birthplace of Japan's best rice, ""Uonuma Koshihikari.""
We hope that by touching the soil through rice, people will be able to get a sense of the lives of the people who live in Tokamachi and become connected to the community.
With this in mind, we named this inn KOME HOME.
KOMEHOME is a 70-year-old traditional Japanese house located in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, the home of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale.
Enjoy the open nature and BBQ and fireworks in the garden. Pets are welcome! (Separate pet accommodation fee applies.)
Echigo Yuzawa and Naeba are also just a 40-minute drive away. It's also a convenient base for visiting FUJIROCK and skiing!
▼Accommodation
Limited to 1 group per day.
This is a traditional Japanese house with an irori hearth that has been renovated from an old house that is over 70 years old.
The room can accommodate up to 8 people and the entire house is spacious and comfortable.
We only accept one group per day, so you will not be surrounded by other guests, making it a comfortable stay even for those with small children.
There is also a kitchen, washing machine, and bathroom, making it a very convenient environment for families and friends wishing to stay for a long period of time.
From the second floor you can see the rice fields, and the breeze from the Shinano River is soothing to the soul.
