・You will stay in an ancient thatched-roof farmhouse, surrounded by a warm atmosphere, lovingly preserved by the local community.
・You'll learn about seasonal agricultural practices related to rice from local veteran farmers. One of the highlights of the program is the opportunity to hear stories about rice cultivation from the perspective of these experienced farmers.
Programs are subject to change depending on the season.
・You will experience the traditional way of cooking rice in the "kamado" at the Kadoide Kayabuki-no-Sato, with the help of locals. The aroma of cooking rice and the flickering flames may make you feel nostalgic.
