Yokoo Sanso is a YAMAGOYA, a traditional Japanese mountain lodge, where hikers can rest, recover, and prepare for their journey.
We offer only what is necessary in the mountains, and nothing more.
We strive to keep our lodge clean and comfortable for all guests.
Nothing fancy, but we aim to be a place you will want to return to.
