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.
