Experience the timeless rural beauty of Tono, often called the heartland of traditional Japan. Begin with a hands-on wasabi harvesting experience in Tassobe, where crystal-clear spring water produces exceptional wasabi. For lunch, enjoy Tono’s signature jingisukan (grilled lamb), cooked at your table in a lively, interactive style—paired with the freshly harvested wasabi for a uniquely local flavor. In the afternoon, enjoy a free exploration plan at your own pace. Rent a bicycle to explore the town or ride through the surrounding satoyama countryside. Optional experiences include guided town walks with a local expert or seasonal countryside cycling routes. This course offers a perfect balance of nature, food, culture, and freedom in one unforgettable day.
