★Local time to experience nature, food, and people in Shirakami The Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains straddle Akita and Aomori prefectures, and the center was Japan's first registered World Natural Heritage Site. Fujisato Town is the base on the Akita side. Why not visit Fujisato to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some local time interacting with nature, food, and people in Shirakami? With this plan, you can easily experience the lives of local people who have lived closely with nature in the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains since the Jomon period. You can rest assured that the area is close to the village and will be guided by someone who was born and raised in the area. First, you will visit a waterfall that is loved by locals. It is easy to get to, but it is full of a hidden feeling and is worth seeing. Next, you will experience picking wild vegetables. You will pick the most popular wild vegetable in the area, "mizu," while listening to a lecture from a wild vegetable picking expert. When you return to Mori no Eki, you will learn how to peel the wild vegetables you picked and cook them in the local way. Finally, you will have "gakko chakko" around a bonfire. In Akita, this is the term used to describe chatting with close friends over snacks such as gakko (pickles) and tea. Enjoy cooking your own wild plants and tea made with spring water from the Shirakami Mountains around a campfire. Ask about life in this area.

This luxurious experience includes making your own Akita specialty, "Kiritanpo," and grilling it until fragrant. Then, enjoy it in a specially prepared sweetfish broth hotpot, made with a generous amount of premium sweetfish (ayu). The venue is set in a traditional Japanese hearth-style space, reminiscent of a folktale, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Relax and unwind in the warmth of the charcoal fire. The experience begins with watching local women "half-mash" freshly cooked, homemade Akita Komachi rice. Then, you'll experience everything from shaping the kiritanpo to grilling it over the hearth and finishing it off in the sweetfish broth hotpot. Our staff will provide attentive support, so even first-timers can enjoy the experience with ease. Families, friends, and international visitors alike can enjoy this experience. On snowy days, you can even play on the handmade snow slide in front of the store! Surrounded by a warm hearth and smiles, this is a unique winter experience you won't soon forget.
