A little closer toeveryday life in Koshu.

Walking through Enzan with mountains in the distance

Vineyards, woven into daily life.

Here, vineyards are part of the neighbourhood. New shoots in spring, leafy canopies in summer and ripening fruit in autumn change the town with every season. At harvest time, baskets pile up and small trucks pass through the streets. Growing things is not a special occasion; it is everyday work.

A day in Koshu

Start with mountain views, visit a winery, then unwind at a hot spring. Taste grapes and peaches, greet a local shopkeeper and walk beside the fields. Koshu does not have everything, but it offers many ways to spend a day well, at an unhurried pace.

We found our way here, too

Neither of us was born in Koshu. I am from Aomori, and my wife is from Nagano. Arriving from elsewhere helps us see this place with fresh eyes; in a way, we are still discovering it ourselves. We hope your stay offers a natural connection to the landscape and everyday life that make Koshu what it is.
