Plan description

This bamboo-filled tour allows you to experience the culture of Kyoto bamboo shoots in Oharano, Nishikyo Ward, a famous bamboo shoot production area. A bamboo shoot farmer who manages the bamboo forest will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the bamboo shoots' ecology and culture. You will also have a full harvesting experience using a rare hoe unique to this area, and you will enjoy dishes made with the fresh bamboo shoots you harvested yourself (four dishes that farmers usually eat will be provided. Drinks such as sake will also be provided). While the bamboo shoots are boiling, you will have the opportunity to make bamboo chopsticks (including matcha and sweets) at Shop & Gallery Chikuseien. During your meal, you will use the bamboo chopsticks you made and the bamboo bowls and cups made by the producers just beforehand, and enjoy the scenery in the bamboo forest. The tour will be guided by a team of producers who cultivate the highest quality bamboo shoots with a spirit of inquiry, and an interpreter guide who is rooted in the area and has a deep understanding of the region.
