  Descrição

  Sam from the United States and Lianne from the United Kingdom initially moved to Iiyama City in order to start practicing a “self-sufficient” lifestyle. The two came to Japan as English teachers, but they love skiing and snowboarding and longed to live in snow country.
  
  There aren’t many places in the world where an average person can afford to live right at a ski resort and have a plot of land, also with convenient high-speed links to an international airport via Shinkansen. The couple realised that life in iiyama City would be a dream come true for them, and bought the small rundown cottage at Togari Onsen Ski Resort that would eventually become Togari Cabin. “While renovating our own house, we grew vegetables and kept goats and chickens.”
  
  As time went on, Sam and Lianne were able to create good connections with their neighbours and enjoyed participating in local events. They were confused as to why the Togari village that they loved so much seemed overlooked by international tourists. So when approached by a neighbour to buy his family’s old ryokan, they realised they had a chance to help in the regeneration of this pretty little ski town, and share the charms of Togari and iiyama with people from around the world, and so began.
  
  ホスト紹介：サムとリアンの物語
  
  を運営するのは、アメリカ出身のサムとイギリス出身のリアン。英語教師として来日したふたりはスキーやスノーボードが大好きで、雪国に住むことに憧れていました。そして、自給自足のライフスタイルを実践するために、長野県飯山市に移住してきました。 スキーリゾートのすぐ近くに住み、自給自足のための土地を確保でき、しかも新幹線を利用すれば国際空港まで短時間でアクセスできる…。大金持ちでなくてもそのような条件で暮らせる場所は、世界中を探してもそう多くはありませんが、ふたりは飯山市がそれらの条件を備えていて、自分たちの夢を叶えられる！ と気付いたのです。
  
  戸狩温泉スキー場の近くにあった小さな家を手に入れ、畑で野菜を育て、ヤギやニワトリを飼うという自給自足の生活を始めました。ふたりが暮らしながらリノベーションしていった家、これが現在のTogari Cabinです。
  
  地域のイベントに参加したりしながら、地域に住む人たちと良い関係を築いていったサムとリアンに次の転機が訪れます。いつも親切にしてくれるご近所さんから「家族が経営していた古い旅館を買わないか？」 と声をかけられました。 自分たちが暮らしている大好きな戸狩が、なぜ外国人観光客に知られていないのか…と、もやもやとした気持ちを抱えていたふたりにとって、これは大きなチャンスでした！ ふたりは古い旅館を手に入れてリノベーションし、一棟貸しの宿泊施設、に生まれ変わらせたのです。
