Enjoy the rich nature and delicious vegetables in a tranquil atmosphere

There are several farmhouse inns in the Nakatsugawa district of Iide-machi, situated in the south of Yamagata Prefecture. Ikarashi “Shinka” is one of them. It is a warm and welcoming inn run by a husband who loves to talk and a wife who loves to cook. After enjoying the flooded forests of Lake Shirakawa and canoeing activities, etc., join us for some friendly conversation at the inn.
