An Experiential Complex Rooted in Historic Satoyama

This experiential complex is located in the naturally rich satoyama of Yamashiro Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It serves as the "first point" connecting tourists with the charms of the satoyama that are familiar to locals. Walking along the approximately 360m-long "sky corridor," you can enjoy the spectacular mountain views and the "forest sea of clouds" that are sure to look great on social media. There is also a cafe popular for its rice flour pancakes, and a "forest play area" where children can play inside the building, so the whole family can have fun regardless of the weather. There are campervan sites and cottages, so it's nice to be able to extend your trip to explore the hot spring town after sweating.
