About 20 minutes by car from Kanazawa Station. Head east on Route 159 from Naruwa towards Higashichoe IC. Head further east on Route 210, turn right at Makimachi, go through the Tsurube Tunnel and head to Tsurube Satoyama. Experience the local treasure "Rice Field Dyeing" that has been passed down in the Tsurube village where the legend of Kagekiyo remains. Dye your own original pattern using the tie-dye technique. The history of this rice field dyeing is recorded as "Kaga Black Dyeing" during the feudal period. Harvest the Akamekashiwa and Yamaurushi plants that grow wild in Tsurube, and soak the cloth in the boiled dye liquid for several tens of minutes. After that, put it in the rice field and knead it well... You can enjoy the feeling of dipping your hands and feet in spring water and rice field. Using the tie-dye technique, fold the cloth and tie it with string to imagine your own pattern, and look forward to the finished product. A beautiful gray dye is completed. Then, go out and explore the surrounding area and enjoy your discoveries. For lunch, make rice balls using the rice cooked in the pot and enjoy them while looking at the nature! A light meal is included. The work you make will be completed on the same day and you can take it home.

The Yoshikura district of Tsubata Town is a mountain village located approximately 30 minutes by car from Kanazawa Station. In the mountains behind the Yoshikura settlement, there is a mountain path once used by local residents. The mountain path offers a rich natural environment and attractive spots, including a scenic spot overlooking the village, a bright deciduous broadleaf forest, a place to pick wild vegetables, a reservoir, and a bamboo grove. However, it is now largely deserted, and various issues need to be addressed, such as overgrown vegetation that obscures visibility and the spread of overgrown bamboo. At this event, we will examine the condition of the mountain path and consider the issues. We will then work to restore the path by trimming the vegetation and cutting down bamboo, thereby working to restore the lush satoyama environment. For lunch, we will enjoy delicious mountain produce, including wild vegetables and other locally grown vegetables that we have gathered together. Please join us in creating a vibrant satoyama, where you can enjoy the rich natural beauty of the satoyama while learning and experiencing ways to protect its abundance.
