Curious about life in the Japanese countryside?  Our onsen town, Togura-Kamiyamada, is the perfect place to catch Japan's rural heartbeat.  Let our Zukudashi guides introduce you to the rituals, stories, symbols as well as people that make our town click.

MEET AND EAT

Togura-Kamiyamada features many family-run businesses and specialty shops.  During the course of the tour, we stop in at many of them, meet the owners, and taste the products they make.  We also visit a historical and architecturally-important hotel as well as a fascinating 'samurai room'.

HANDS-ON ACTIVITY

In keeping with the 'Zukudashi' spirit, with enough advance notice the walking tour includes an interactive, hands-on lesson.  Examples are learning the proper way to pour Japanese tea (presented by a licensed instructor), a lesson on how to make miso soup, or making a stained glass memento.
