Dining
Local flavours at your own table.
A village welcome,
with Satoyama Jujo’s help behind the scenes.
A garden barbecue, a warming hot pot,
or a special dinner by chef Tomoko Yuge.
Atema gives you the space to enjoy a meal together, with help arranging the details. Choose a hot pot made to Satoyama Jujo recipes or a barbecue in the garden. Local hosts prepare the ingredients and set up the meal, then you cook and serve it yourselves at your own pace.
For a special occasion, ask our concierge about a catered dinner by Tomoko Yuge, chef of the Japanese restaurant Yuge in Tokamachi. Her cooking combines local ingredients with the care and detail of traditional Japanese cuisine. We can help with enquiries in English and Japanese; catering is available by advance arrangement and subject to availability.
A Japanese breakfast featuring local ingredients is also available on a self-service basis. Check the plans available for your dates for meal inclusions. A breakfast plan leaves you free to arrange dinner yourselves.
The barbecue garden closes during the snowy winter season. A separate garden-use fee applies if you bring your own ingredients. For dinner at Sanaburi, the restaurant at the main Satoyama Jujo hotel, choose a plan that expressly includes the restaurant dinner and return transfers. Check availability for your dates and arrange both in advance.
Vegetarian meals can be arranged. Please tell us your dietary requirements in advance. We accommodate food allergies wherever possible, depending on the ingredients and the nature and severity of the allergy. We cannot guarantee the complete absence of allergens or cross-contact. If you have a severe allergy, please contact us before booking and reconfirm ingredients and preparation with our team before eating.
An open kitchen,
ready for cooking at your own pace.
The open kitchen has an induction cooktop, fridge, microwave, cookware and tableware. The dining table seats six, giving family and friends a place to gather over a meal.
If you plan to cook, shop before arrival. The Minamiuonuma Yukiakari roadside market is about 15 minutes away by car and sells local produce.
Please bring cooking oil and seasonings, which are not supplied. A selection of drinks and snacks is available in the house; check the in-house menu for complimentary items and prices.
