[About Engawa Guest House]
Cherry blossoms bloom along with bamboo shoots, fireflies fly and Spanish crabs walk in front of the house. In the morning, you wake up to the chatter of swallows, and when you plant rice, frogs begin their chorus. Fishing in the hot sun, we grill fish on the spot and eat them. You feel the aroma of baked potatoes as the autumn leaves begin to change color, and after gazing at the winter starry sky, you are greeted by a misty morning. Please feel such “charm” of Kameoka.
If you have any questions about food in Tamba, please leave it to us at the edge house. We offer a wide range of experiences from harvesting to seasonal food experiences.
