Your Gateway to the Mountains
Satoyama Stays offers homes designed for large groups in Myoko and Hakuba, where traditional character meets modern comfort in the landscapes of the Japanese Alps.
Inspired by the idea of satoyama (里山), meaning the place where mountain and village meet, we create spaces that invite guests to slow down, reconnect with nature, and share meaningful time together.
