Within the event area, there are free foot baths and open-air baths with free-flowing natural hot spring water, allowing visitors to fully and safely enjoy the experience. The installation art lanterns set up inside the historic building Yorozuya are also not to be missed, and non-guests can enter to view them. Established [illegible text] during the Edo period, this historic building has a rich cultural heritage, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements such as "koshi-kabe" (wattle and daub walls), making it a highly culturally distinctive spot.

In addition to art, the event area also offers delicious food. Shirogane-ya Kozushi Shop sells popular items such as onsen manju (steamed buns) and Ichacha Manju, which are rich in brown sugar flavor—both must-try treats. The local apples have even won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award in Japan, known for their juicy sweetness and worth tasting. Ichacha no Komichi Bijou no Yado not only displays lantern installation art but also allows visitors to enjoy winter night onsen bathing in foot baths that emit the aroma of hinoki (Japanese cypress).
