Spend your weekend in the countryside. A blissful food experience that will satisfy your mind and body. Forget about the busyness of everyday life and refresh your mind and body at Mushio's hearth, surrounded by rich nature. Harvesting and rural food experiences that you can enjoy with your family are also perfect for educating your children on food. Recommended for farm dates! Enjoy a blissful moment that will satisfy your mind and body at Mushio's hearth, which is easily accessible from the city center. MenuEnjoy seasonal pesticide-free vegetable dishes and rice cooked in a hearth. [Important] As the harvest is greatly influenced by the weather, the menu on the day may be unavoidably changed. We ask for your understanding and cooperation in advance. The Mushio area of Yokoshibahikari-cho, Sanbu-gun, Chiba Prefecture, where the rice rural landscape of sparkling flames dance spreads out, and the Buddhist play "Kiraigo" (nationally designated important intangible folk cultural property) has been going on for 800 years. Milky Queen, produced on this land, won a gold medal in a rice contest. The best rice is cooked in a hearth made of this soil. Experience the "world's best rice ball" in the best environment, provided by Mushio's hearth. Local old ladies are looking forward to meeting you. "Earth": The hearth is made of clayey natural soil. Nearby, there is the Tonozuka Himezuka, where many clay clay figurines have been excavated. Balance your mind and body with "earthing," a health method that involves walking barefoot on the ground. "Water": All locally grown crops are grown with water from Mushio. Mushio's groundwater is used for cooking rice. In spring and summer, the entire rice field is filled with water. "Fire": The flames from burning fallen bamboo at Kosaiji Temple generate a large amount of heat, cooking the most delicious rice. Ema plaques are burned at the goma ceremony at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, and their wishes are fulfilled. "Wind": Feel the comfortable wind of Mushio. You are free to use the hammocks, reclining chairs, and mats. "Empty": A healing spot that will lead you to a state of mindlessness. It can be used as a meditation space. "Wow" Enjoy the encounters with the chefs, local ladies, and everyone you meet. #Agricultural experience #Harvesting experience #Sushi experience
