What is a Noka Minshuku?
	Noka Minshuku is an accommodation run by a local famer and visitors stay at their private house.

It will also be an extraordinary experience to have a mutual understanding with the farmers while enjoying relaxing moments. Each accommodation has its own unique features and attractions. Contact each location for further details.
