＜Description＞
This activity offers the experience to cook rice in a traditional way, using an old rice cooker which is very rare in people’s lives now. Although the rice made in this way is still considered as the best, almost all the people use an electric rice cooker and so it is even rare for Japanese people to experience this way of cooking rice. In addition, the guests will use traditional fireplace to grill famous Hida Beef.

What makes this activity more attractive are 1) the lecturer is a very experienced, 70-year old mother in the region who knows everything unique to the region; 2) the guest room, where the guests will eat lunch, is one of the oldest houses in Hida with high cultural values.
