Every winter, a huge kamakura (a kind of straw-shaped house) about 3 meters high and 5 meters in diameter is built in the Onogawa hot spring resort area in Yonezawa City, creating a “kamakura-mura (straw village).

The inside of the kamakura is large enough to comfortably accommodate six adults, and there are tables and chairs. Inside the kamakura is a menu list of nearby restaurants, and you can order Yonezawa ramen and other dishes for delivery!

A bowl of hot ramen will warm up even the coldest body. There is also a magnificent stone footbath and a drinking fountain in Onogawa Onsen Town. Why not try one of these precious experiences?

Kamakura is always open to the public.
