Why not go and discover the lost history of this town that flourished as a post town on the road during the Edo period? Kyohei Tamura, our guide for this Snow Country Retreat, majored in history in college and is a big fan of the Sengoku period. He fell in love with the history of the Mimata region. Although it is not famous, there are anecdotes that allow you to feel the breath of the people of the Edo period, and stories of the head of a family that lived in the village from its early days and continued to protect the oldest wakihonjin that still exists on the Mikuni Kaido road. Let's trace the history together, which is full of emotion that cannot be conveyed by words alone. Nowadays, the area is famous for its ski resorts, but the lives of the people who have been living here since the Edo period are the backbone of how it got to where it is today. There are things that become clear when you focus on the lives of the people who lived and continued to live strong lives despite being tossed about by the flow of history. It's not just skiing, but you can feel the charm of this mountain village. Although it is a "history retreat," no specialized knowledge is required. We will guide you not only through historical facts but also the feelings of the people at that time.

The Daigenta area of Yuzawa Town, where the retreat takes place, is named after its symbol, Mt. Daigenta (1598 meters above sea level). This mountain is also called the Matterhorn of the East because of its shape. At the foot of the mountain is Lake Daigenta, which was formed by damming the Daigenta River, and once prevented the great floods that brought great hardship to the area. The area is now a popular spot for walking and paddle sports. The abundant local water, which seeps into the ground from melting snow, irrigates the people and the land, and nourishes the delicious vegetables and rice grown here. The retreat aims to allow you to experience with all five senses the rich history of this fascinating area, the lives of the people, the beauty of nature, and the importance of "water" as an essential part of human life, to return to your origins and look at what is truly important to you.
