Founded in 1979, at the beginning of the ski boom in Japan during 80’s and 90’s. The original owner, with a love for Japanese carpentry, operated the business for 34 years, closing in 2013. Recently, Japan has enjoyed a rise in popularity amongst international travelers, who seem to enjoy the freedom in designing their own unique itinerary. Reopening in 2020, we are adding a modern Japanese flare to the original log cabin design.
