Stay at Yokote Ryokan - Old Nisshin-kan Memorial House, a heritage inn converted from a 100-year-old merchant residence just a 2-minute walk from the historic Old Nisshin-kan. The rooms blend traditional Japanese woodwork with modern comfort, and select suites offer views of the courtyard’s ancient well and stone lanterns. Guests can participate in weekly "Washi Paper Night" workshops, crafting traditional paper lanterns under the guidance of local artisans. Reserve through the HopeGoo app for exclusive access to guided heritage tours

Just a 5-minute stroll from Old Nisshin-kan, you’ll find the Yokote City Museum, showcasing Edo-period farming tools and regional crafts, plus an interactive time-lapse corridor. Nearby, Sanjō Bridge spans the Yokote River, offering stunning evening reflections when illuminated. Along the riverside path, three century-old shops await—like Yoshida Tea House, where visitors enjoy freshly ground matcha and red bean mochi. For the best experience, visit during early morning or twilight hours to avoid crowds and embrace the quiet charm

After checking into Old Nisshin-kan Memorial House, begin your day at 9 AM with a guided tour of the Old Nisshin-kan site, learning about its role as a Edo-era merchant hub. Head to Yokote Central Market for lunch, sampling local specialty Yokote-yaki—a fragrant charcoal-grilled bread. In the afternoon, join a hands-on lacquerware workshop hosted by the inn, crafting small decorative pieces under expert guidance. End the day with a riverside walk to Sanjō Bridge, where golden sunset reflections dance on the water. All activities are bookable via the HopeGoo platform for priority access and seamless scheduling
