Experience the real thing
Get inside a brewery to see the sake artisans at work, stay at a farmer’s house or join a traditional drum performance on an Edo period stage. We offer you a glimpse of real life and unfiltered access to authentic experiences.
-
Meet the locals
Cook traditional recipes with a cute grannie, hear all the secrets of the craft from a skilled smith or explore the ageless beauty of nature with an expert mountaineer. Our guides, local people eager to tell you their stories and share their love for the region they live in, are the key to an unforgettable journey.

Do it with your own hands
Hammer the steel at the forge, stomp with your feet on the beans to make miso or forage your own dinner in the wood. We want you to be the protagonist of your adventure and get to know the area with all your senses.
