The Forest Farm Youth Hostel is run by two sisters, who along with the rest of their family also operate an organic vegetable farm on the surrounding premises. Depending on which season you choose to visit, you can see and sample a vast selection of home grown vegetables and other produce including melons, garlic, pumpkins, tomatoes, eggplant, carrots, and potatoes. They also bake fresh bread on the premises. During the summer and autumn months the owners operate a small market stall outside the house where one can buy their produce to take home, for reasonable prices. All of the above and more are served to guests for dinner and breakfast, with vegetarian options available. In the evening guests are invited to sample locally made wines with the owners while listening to music in the large, airy dining room.

The Hostel can accommodate up to fifteen guests in cozy rooms that are built and decorated entirely from locally sourced wood, which gives the feeling of a remote log cabin in the mountains. Every room has decent wi-fi connectivity. Showers and baths are communal, but can also be used privately. Ample space out the front of the house means parking for cars, bikes and bicycles is no problem. Yubari City can be accessed in less than twenty minutes by car. For those visiting in winter the local ski resort is also close by.
