Winter is when a private booking feels just right.

Tsuruoka in winter is more fun when you stay in and enjoy it!
And the perfect place to do that is Guesthouse Watausagi.

“In winter, you can’t really go anywhere, right?”

Living in Tsuruoka, you hear someone say that every winter.
Driving on snowy roads is scary, and both the sea and the mountains are too cold to visit.
Even on your days off, before you know it, you’re just lounging around at home….

But is it really true that you “can’t do anything”?
With a small shift in perspective,
winter might actually be your chance to make memories.

“Even if it’s snowing outside, your heart can stay warm.”

そんな冬の過ごし方ができるのが、
鶴岡のまちなかにあるゲストハウスわたうさぎ 🏡

This is a guesthouse you can rent out as a whole house.
In winter, you can book it as a private stay from 8 people, and it comes fully equipped with a kitchen, heating, Wi-Fi, a bath, and even a washing machine!
Bring your own food and drinks, stay up late, and talk all night—everything’s OK.

「寒いから外出はムリ…」なんて言いながら、
あたたかい部屋でみんなで鍋を囲む夜。
それだけで、ちょっと特別な時間になります☕️

🎄 These ways to enjoy it are especially popular!

🫕 忘年会・新年会・クリスマス会
外は吹雪でも、室内でおいしいごはんと笑い声。
鍋やオードブルを持ち寄って、時間を気にせず乾杯🍷

📚 勉強合宿・受験対策
静かであたたかい和室は、集中力アップ。
Wi-Fiも加湿器もあるから、勉強もミーティングも快適！

🏀 スポーツチームの合宿・ミーティング
練習後のごはんも、洗濯も、みんなでわいわい。
「宿に帰ってもチーム感そのまま」が嬉しい💪
近くの小真木原運動公園までもジョギングで体を温めながら行ける距離👍

🔥 “街キャンプ”や女子会にも◎
キャンドルを灯して、雪を眺めながらおしゃべり。
外に行かなくても、“非日常”を味わえます✨

🕯 Summary — To the version of me who used to think, “You can’t do anything in winter”

Winter in Tsuruoka is definitely inconvenient.
But if you have a place that can turn “not going out” into “having fun,”
that alone can make your heart feel a little richer.

Cold nights, snowy days—
a winter where you laugh, eat, and talk together.

外に行けない季節こそ、
わたうさぎで“こもる旅”をしてみませんか？❄️

This blog post is something I hope you’ll reread when you can’t quite make winter plans.
When you find yourself thinking, “What should I do this winter?”
I’d be happy if it gently comes back to you.

That's all for today's article.
