Plan description

Omonogawa Minkaen Kido Gorobei Village, where thatched-roof houses from the Edo to Taisho periods have been relocated and restored, is a nostalgic space that makes you feel as if you've traveled back in time. Cherry blossoms in spring, green leaves in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and deep snow in winter... Why not try pounding rice cakes amid the changing scenery of the seasons? Enjoy the dynamic experience of pounding rice cakes using a traditional pestle and mortar, accompanied by the spirited call of "Yoisho!" ("Yoisho!"). Freshly pounded rice cakes are exceptionally delicious! Why not experience some good old Japanese culture with your family or group? *This is the experience fee per group. One group application can accommodate from 1 to a maximum of 30 people.

----- A special experience limited to one group per day ---------

Along with the shouts of "Yoisho!", you can feel the breathing of the pounders from a distance, making this a very special experience limited to one group per day.

----- A nostalgic and extraordinary experience with a thatched roof ---------

It's sure to be a photogenic spot, and you can enjoy the space that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time.

----- Freshly pounded rice cakes on the spot ---------

Freshly pounded rice cakes are exceptionally delicious! Enjoy a variety of flavors, including kinako (roasted soybean flour) and red bean paste.
