The sturdy beams and pillars that are necessary to protect from the long years of heavy winter snow are much in evidence and an integral part of buildings in Snow Country. They offer a relaxing space where you can appreciate the strength and warmth of the wood.

Rebuilt from a headman's residence from the former Shiozawa town (now part of Minami Uonuma City) these are traditional Japanese style guest rooms. They offer plenty of space being over 50㎡, and have sunken kotatsu tables and chairs with views over the main gardens. For those that wish, it is possible to have dinner served in the room for a wonderfully relaxing experience.
Type B

The beams in the room are of a special type coming from trees that have been naturally bent by the snow and then used to take advantage of that shape. From the window you can enjoy views of a registered cultural property building. There is very much the feeling of having stepped back in time to a Snow Country of a previous era.
Type C
This room type has been created from the mansion of a rice merchant from Nagaoka. The best parts of the Japanese style of the original Ryugon have been preserved, and for additional comfort for guests, Simmons beds have been added.

The Manor House
The Celler House
A building originally constructed in the late Edo period, previously located in Kawakubo, Muikamachi, Minamiuonuma City, has been relocated and restored. Approximately 200 years old, the structure was built with thick pillars made of zelkova wood, designed specifically to withstand the heavy snowfall of the region.
The building had fallen into disuse in recent years, primarily because the rock bath at the back became unusable due to snow damage. However, thanks to its robust construction, it has now been revived as a private villa available for full rental.
This two-story building features an open and spacious living room on the first floor with high ceilings and a bedroom on the second floor. The villa boasts a large wooden deck overlooking a garden, a swimming pool, and is fully equipped with amenities, including a sauna, an outdoor hot spring bath, and a kitchen.
Pets are welcome in this room.
