The spring-fed ponds are highly transparent and have been selected as one of Japan's 100 famous springs, making Oshino Hakkai a popular spot for delicious soba noodles.

This town is rich in nature in every season, and seafood and mountain produce nurtured by the Sea of Okhotsk, so much so that it is impossible to master it. This sushi restaurant with only eight seats, run by an owner with rare experience, has many repeat customers and foreign tourists, making it so popular that it is difficult to get a reservation.

A small tofu shop that challenges new tofu making methods while inheriting the local traditional "frozen tofu" production technology in the highlands of Yatsugatake, Nagano Prefecture, at an altitude of 1100m. We are particular about the ingredients and use only delicious local water and soybeans. Why don't you see the craftsmanship at the small tofu factory "Sennen Tofu" in the village and make tofu with your own hands? Children can enjoy the experience of making tofu because it uses a small wooden mold. Finally, in addition to the tofu made by yourself, you can sample various dishes using tofu made by craftsmen. (Example: Okara salad, soy milk tempura, stewed frozen tofu) We usually make cotton tofu from March to November, but you can make local specialty "frozen tofu" from December to February. * Frozen tofu is a traditional preserved food that is cut and frozen overnight. An English-speaking guide will accompany you to facilitate conversations with the craftsmen. ～ Flow of the day ～ ①Meeting: Meet at the shop.
