About this activity
Cooking rice in a traditional Japanese hearth
Tour Background
Takashima City still thrives on the wisdom and culture of the people who live alongside spring water. On this plan, you'll spend the day experiencing firsthand what it's like to live with water, shopping at a supermarket used daily by locals and cooking rice in an old-fashioned stove. In the afternoon, you'll visit the Harie district, known as the "home of fresh water," to see a kabata (traditional Japanese smelter) and try local sake at a sake brewery, experiencing the relaxed pace and warmth of people that are unique to Takashima.
