"Welcome back" "I'm home" Even if we're far apart, we can still have a connection like neighbors. In an age where relationships between neighbors have become weak, why not try a new style of interacting with your neighbors? When you experience farming at the inn, you can meet your neighbors working on the farm. Let's talk to people in the area. When you come back to this place, say ""I'm home"" and ""Welcome back."" The conversation will flow naturally. May this place become your second home. Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture. It is the area with the heaviest snowfall in Japan, and is also the birthplace of Japan's best rice, ""Uonuma Koshihikari.""
