TIMELESS YUKIGUNI has been awarded with the Gold Award in Tourism Services at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa (ITFFA). It’s a great honour to have the film recognised internationally. We hope that many people will see it.
The film can be viewed below.
The award-winning film is a three-minute promotional video that depicts two timelines: the traveller and the voice of the land. The film tells the story of a Modern luxury travel, where the traveller, who initially enjoys gastronomy and comfort, encounters a different culture through experiences and gradually comes to understand the voice of the land.

Things To Do
Inspiration And Comfort TIMELESS YUKIGUNI
The ryokans selected to represent TIMELESS YUKIGUNI embody the very best of the Japanese hospitality tradition and the highest levels of comfort. Yet each one of them goes further than this, and all have incorporated influences from the history, culture, and way of life of the area. This inspiration is what makes each ryokan unique.
