The Ryokan Collection Welcomes a New Member -
Auberge Maki no Oto Toyama
Luxury in a Timeless Countryside Satoyama Landscape
İmakinooto
The Ryokan Collection is delighted to welcome a new member to its group of fine ryokan - Auberge Maki no Oto Toyama in Toyama Prefecture. Nestled in the foothills of Toyama, amid the timeless landscape of rice paddies, fields, streams, ponds and forests known as satoyama, the beautiful Auberge Maki no Oto Toyama awaits, with a way to connect with the ancient rhythms of rural life and a promise of respite from the stresses of everyday life.

Maki no Oto is a Japanese ryokan modeled after satoyama style auberge. Combining the family-style rural auberge with service based on omotenashi, the ancient art of hospitality. The name “Maki no Oto” evokes the feeling one gets listening to the sound of a cheery, crackling fire in the fireplace and the aroma of rice cooking in a makigama traditional wood-fired rice cooker, like the one that graces the ryokan's lobby.

The restaurant at Maki no Oto is a destination in and of itself. Food lovers come from near and far to sample Chef Hiroyoshi Uno's expert cooking. He has created a unique concept of satoyama style fusion cuisine, making full use of the finest and freshest local ingredients, and preparing them with a combination of French and Japanese techniques. Uniquely served with the main dish is home harvested rice cooked daily in a makigama traditional wood-fired rice cooker. The result is innovative, artistic, healthy and delicious.
