A unique experience in a hidden place!
Step into a peaceful mountain village and immerse yourself in a truly local culinary journey.

FEATURES

Discover the Beauty of a Traditional Kominka

This special cooking class takes place in a beautifully preserved kominka (traditional Japanese house) in the peaceful countryside of Tamba Sasayama. You’ll experience the charm of traditional wooden architecture, the comfort of sitting on tatami mats, soft natural light filtering through shoji screens, and serene views of the garden etc.

Support Local with Every Bite

We’ll cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients from nearby farmers—like premium Tamba beef, black soybeans, and local rice served in beautiful Tamba ware. This experience not only nourishes your body with the finest local ingredients, but also helps sustain the local community and its traditions.

Explore Japanese Countyside

Tamba Sasayama is a peaceful, rural town surrounded by forests and mountains. It had a historical castle long time ago. After your cooking lesson, you’re free to explore the city’s attractions at your own pace. We can offer a local guide at your request.
