〜Welcome to 「Farm Inn Ueno House」〜
With the wish to share the wonderful nature of Atsumi Onsen where we were born and raised, and the food culture passed down through generations by the efforts and dedication of our predecessors, and to pass it on to the next generation, we opened our home as a farm inn in May 2021.
This is a farmhouse inn that values “hands-on experiences and交流,” where guests can enjoy agricultural experiences and shared cooking experiences (mainly local cuisine).
\ This is the kind of inn we are /
・A hidden retreat in Atsumi Onsen, southwestern Yamagata Prefecture
・A farmhouse inn where you can enjoy seasonal local cuisine and rural village life experiences
・Reservation only / Up to 2 groups per day, maximum 6 guests
・An experience-based inn where “it’s not just about staying overnight”
■ Atsumi Onsen and the surrounding area
With a history of 1,200 years, Atsumi Onsen is a hot spring resort blessed with the natural beauty of the sea, mountains, and rivers, and has long been loved by many visitors.
The Shonai region is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and its unique geography and climate nurture blessings from both land and ocean, fostering a rich food culture with delicious ingredients throughout all four seasons.
At 「Farm Inn Ueno House」, located along the Atsumi River, you can experience hot springs, nature activities, farming experiences, cooking with seasonal local ingredients, and交流 with local people, enjoying a stay that offers something different from ordinary sightseeing trips.
