Participant Reviews

An experience you'd want to tell everyone about

The atmosphere of the traditional Japanese house was charming, and making the bento was a lot of fun. The waterfall tour was easy to understand and informative, and it also turned out to be great exercise. The autumn leaves looked even more beautiful under the sunshine after the rain, and enjoying our bento surrounded by that scenery was simply the best. It was an experience that healed both body and mind — something I’d love to tell everyone about. Thank you so much.

Although I wasn’t familiar with the area, it was great that we could get around without any trouble thanks to the car provided by the tour guide. Being able to enjoy freshly made bento lunches prepared with local ingredients was also a wonderful experience.
