Lives shaped by snow

A way of life with snow at its heart.
Close to Tokyo by train, yet far removed by lifestyle.
Tokamachi may be surrounded by cold snow for 4 months out of the year, but it is full of warmth from the kindness of residents, relaxing hot springs, delicious food, and beautiful scenery. This countryside city is host to hundreds of modern artworks which are dotted around the area. During winter the activities are just as endless as the snow. And in spring, the area transforms into a gorgeous destination of lush greenery, mountains, wildlife, and a cuisine unique to the snow country of YUKIGUNI.
