★Local time to experience nature, food, and people in Shirakami The Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains straddle Akita and Aomori prefectures, and the center was Japan's first registered World Natural Heritage Site. Fujisato Town is the base on the Akita side. Why not visit Fujisato to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some local time interacting with nature, food, and people in Shirakami? With this plan, you can easily experience the lives of local people who have lived closely with nature in the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains since the Jomon period. You can rest assured that the area is close to the village and will be guided by someone who was born and raised in the area. First, you will visit a waterfall that is loved by locals. It is easy to get to, but it is full of a hidden feeling and is worth seeing. Next, you will experience picking wild vegetables. You will pick the most popular wild vegetable in the area, "mizu," while listening to a lecture from a wild vegetable picking expert. When you return to Mori no Eki, you will learn how to peel the wild vegetables you picked and cook them in the local way. Finally, you will have "gakko chakko" around a bonfire. In Akita, this is the term used to describe chatting with close friends over snacks such as gakko (pickles) and tea. Enjoy cooking your own wild plants and tea made with spring water from the Shirakami Mountains around a campfire. Ask about life in this area.

[Totou Sauna at the Foot of the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains] Fujisato Town is a idyllic town at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains. Although it is a small town with a population of less than 3,000, it boasts rich nature and delicious water. Would you like to enjoy a snow tent sauna in this quiet town? At the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Heritage Site, this tent sauna uses the pure white snow that falls as a cold bath. "Yugi" in "Yugi Sauna" means "snow" in Akita dialect. We recommend the snow sauna surrounded by majestic mountains. Restrooms, restaurants, vending machines, and Yutoria hot spring resort facilities are also nearby, so even beginners to the outdoors can easily enjoy the sauna. We also have a special aroma “Totoi water” and a “handmade sauna hat”. "Totoi water" is an aromatic water with a secret scent made from the blessings of the mountains. We use mugwort leaves provided by Albion, which is very popular among women, and mugwort harvested at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains. Sprinkle "Totoi water" on the hot sauna stones with a ladle, and the refreshing scent of the forest will spread throughout the tent. The air is heated, and it also causes perspiration. The handmade sauna hat is an original sauna hat that uses domestic (Fujisato Town) wool. With this hat, you can enjoy a leisurely sauna while protecting your head from the heat. If you want to buy it as a souvenir, you can buy it at "Mori no Eki" or "Womo House Chiku Chiku". There are various designs, so please take a look. In addition, we have an environment for "Totou" such as infinity chairs, side tables, mineral water "Shirakami Sansui", bonfire, marshmallows, etc.
