Village revitalization in Yasutomi Town, Hyogo Prefecture! Wednesdays and Thursdays only

The "Village Revitalization Project" started after hearing from overseas tourists that they wanted to know more about Japanese culture and would like to participate if they had the opportunity to experience it. Located about an hour from Himeji Castle, it is a precious place that preserves traditional Japanese rural scenery and shrines. In addition, due to the declining birthrate and aging population, the local elementary school is also at risk of closing. This is a format that allows everyone to participate in village revitalization through Japanese cultural experiences, and is different from general tours. Please join the "Village Revitalization Project" and let's create the future together. Thank you. This plan includes lunch and dinner. In this tour, you will experience Japanese culture. After the sake brewery tour and tasting experience, you will move to Yasutomi Town and enjoy lunch and dinner (local cuisine) while looking at the rural scenery. At that time, we will play the koto, shakuhachi, shamisen, and Japanese dance. In addition, you will experience the tea ceremony (dessert = tea cake) during lunch. After lunch, we will visit the shrine and hold a dedication.

This tour allows you to deeply experience traditional Japanese culture through visiting sake breweries, tastings, and watching traditional performing arts such as Japanese dance, shamisen, shakuhachi, and koto. You can learn etiquette and peace of mind. It is not just a sightseeing tour, but a tour that allows participants to "expose" themselves to Japanese culture, giving them a deeper understanding and inspiration.

This is not just a sightseeing tour, but a part of a "village revitalization" initiative to support the area, which is facing a declining birthrate, aging population, and depopulation. The participants' visit itself leads to the revitalization of the area, contributing to the survival of the elementary school and the inheritance of local culture.

Located about an hour from Himeji Castle, you can enjoy local cuisine for lunch and dinner against the backdrop of traditional rural scenery and a shrine. Enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by beautiful nature and a quiet environment, where you can feel like you're in your hometown.
