[Location] Yokooka Village is located in Kisakatamachi, Nikaho City, Akita Prefecture. Facing the Sea of Japan, Nikaho City has the only natural environment in Japan with Mt. Chokai, an independent mountain of 2,236 meters, and a straight line distance of about 16 km from the sea to the mountain.
[Locality]Local events remain the best in the city, and include traditional events such as “Chokaiyama Hitachi Dance” and “Sae no Kami Event,” “Yokooka Shinmyosha Festival,” a portable shrine event, “Yokooka Community Sports Day,” a community event, and other smaller events such as a grand golf tournament and community BBQ. Main agricultural products are rice and buckwheat noodles.
We are building a base where people will want to come back to Yokooka village. To this end, we are conscious of the fact that guests staying at our guesthouse can experience the lifestyle of the Yokooka community. We hope that our guests will experience the charm of Yokooka and experience the richness of life in Yokooka through the interaction within and outside the community that is created when local residents visit the guesthouse, help the producers with their work, enjoy the food produced in the community, and participate in local events and activities.
