CHICKA HUT
WELCOME to
CHICKA HUT
A small mountain base in Echigo-Yuzawa
Our mountain hut is located near the Tanigawa mountain range.
Originally an approximately 80-year-old barn, the building has been renovated and is now used as a base for guiding activities, plant research and small gatherings.
After your hike, come and enjoy a cup of tea—or simply stop by when you are in the area.
※Tours may be out during the day, so please contact us before visiting.
WORK SHOP &EVENT
At CHICKA Hut, we occasionally host workshops and events focused on plants and the natural environment, as well as dinner gatherings.
During the green season, our dinners feature plenty of fresh vegetables grown in CHICKA's own garden.
Our spring wild edible plant tours, followed by a meal featuring the plants we gather, are also very popular.

Renovation of the Barn
The renovation of the barn is filled with the traditional techniques of Japanese craftsmen. The good old things have been breathed new life. The design of the entire hut, painting, and floor sanding were done at Chikka.
