Uonuma no sato

　　In the snowy Uonuma Basin, an ancient wisdom and appreciation for seasonal pleasures that come from a lifestyle attuned to nature have been cherished and handed down for generations.

　　Out of a desire to share the senses of nostalgia and serenity that the local lifestyle and snow country traditions of Uonuma bring, “Uonuma no Sato” was born. Nestled in Minamiuonuma’s Nagamori District at the base of the sacred Mt. Hakkai, cafes, gift shops, a kitchen wares select shop inside the Hakkaisan Yukimuro, and the Nagamori Soba shop among other relaxing spots decorate the campus’s scenic countryside landscape.

　　Inside the Hakkaisan Yukimuro, about 1000 tons of snow is piled up each year, naturally keeping the cellar below 4℃ on average so that sake and food products can be stored year-round.
