“YUKISATO LODGE<\/a><\/strong>“, a renovated, old Japanese-style house, and a base for having fun in the snow, will open on Saturday, October 10th.\u00a0 The lodge is located in the Okazawa district of Nakago-ku, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, which is known for its heavy snowfall.<\/p>\r\n

It is run by Takuya Tsukada, CEO of Studio Japaho<\/strong>,\u00a0a company that develops IT and snow business-related companies in Tokyo.\u00a0 After gaining various experiences such as working at a major overseas resort company, starting a business in Tokyo, and commercializing the first helicopter & CAT tour in Japan, Mr. Tsukada fell in love with the nature in Okazawa, Nakago-ku, Niigata Prefecture.\u00a0 He moved here permanently four years ago.
\r\n
\r\nBefore moving, he developed the “Yukisato Project<\/strong>“, an\u00a0experience-based tourism business that plans field tours on snowmobiles and snowshoe tours in the vast nature of Nakago Ward.\u00a0 It is a business that has attracted widespread attention as a snow business, centered on inbound tourists.<\/p>\r\n

Mr. Tsukada said, “So far, at the Yukisato Project, we provide \u201clearning” and “playing”.\u00a0 Next, we hope to create a lodge where our customers will stay for a long time, and experience various things that can only be done in the Nakago area.”<\/p>\r\n

The\u00a0completed lodge is a 40-year-old renovated, private house.\u00a0 It has a traditional earthen floor and a traditional Japanese hearth (Irori).\u00a0 There are four rooms, from for two to five people.\u00a0 Room rates start from 22,000 yen per room.\u00a0 On the first floor, there is a large hall that can be used for workshops and a kitchen for self-catering.\u00a0 You can use it for various purposes without staying overnight.<\/p>\r\n

In\u00a0addition to being a base for snow activities in winter, we are also planning an \u201ce-bike\u201d (a bicycle with an electric motor) tour. The tour runs along forest roads from the autumn.\u00a0 In addition, the lodge is likely to become a prime location for experiencing nature throughout the year. Possible future activities include farming and other workshops.<\/p>\r\n

Mr.\u00a0Tsukada said, “Here you can enjoy delicious food, beautiful scenery, and superb views of the snowy country.”
