You will have a chance to experience the depth of Japanese culture by learning about the traditional performing arts of Hinokage Town, such as rural Kabuki and Kagura, which are different from what is generally known. The Kazuwara, which is over 100 years old, is an old-fashioned wooden building in the midst of nature, and you can feel the warmth of the wood with all five senses. And the surrounding roads, which are winding roads with few lights, are perfect for touring!If you are lucky, you may be able to see the sea of clouds at Kunimi-gaoka (513 meters above sea level).

<Optional Activities>
● Footpath
This is a 90-minute walk along a 3km course, which takes in the countryside of Hinokage Town, and takes in some of the local residents' favorite spots. This is a short 3km course, so you can join us at ease.

● Wheat sowing, wheat trampling and harvesting
The work varies with season. There is a "tread" on the wheat that cannot be experienced in vegetable cultivation. You can also experience wheat trampling, which is important in order to improve the uptake of the wheat and prevent it from growing too long. Unlike rice, barley is not self-sufficient in Japan, so the experience from sowing to harvesting is a rare and valuable one.

● Rice planting and harvesting
You can experience rice-planting and rice-harvest by hand.
