About This Tour
Blessed with abundant spring water flowing from the surrounding mountains—once revered as sacred—this quiet village feels like a timeless scene from Japan’s rural past. Depending on the season, you’ll join a local farmer for a glimpse into rice field work, from planting young seedlings to harvesting the golden crop. Next, explore the region’s natural craft culture with a hands-on indigo dyeing workshop. Using leaves grown locally, you’ll create your own beautifully hand-dyed tenugui to take home as a keepsake. Then, visit a small shirt-making studio that breathes new life into old kimono fabric—an inspiring example of sustainability rooted in tradition. Lunch is a quiet highlight: a fresh, homemade meal made with the village’s own rice and seasonal vegetables, prepared with care by members of the local community. Vegetarian and vegan meals can be arranged upon request.
