Wouldn't you like to know the real Kamakura that the locals love, not the tourist-filled Kamakura? At NIHO Shared Living, you can discover the charms of Kamakura that are not listed in travel guides by dining with the diverse locals who live in Kamakura. While enjoying home cooking made with seasonal ingredients, you will discover a new side of Kamakura through friendly conversation, from hidden spots and shops that only locals know about, to the joys and hardships of living in Kamakura. Depending on the interests of the participants, we can invite Kamakura residents with various backgrounds, such as artists, local history buffs, and housewives who love cooking. For example, we will provide a place for interaction that suits your interests, such as "I'm interested in the Kamakura art scene" or "I want to know more about the history of the ancient capital." The charm of this experience is that it is a small group (maximum 8 people) and you can enjoy honest conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. You can also learn about Kamakura's ingredients and cooking methods through a simple cooking experience. ~Experience flow~ 18:30 Welcome time/self-introduction Toast with a seasonal welcome drink.
