This area has been used as a manor since the end of the Heian period (794-1192), and rice and livestock farming have flourished here. In the Uzudo district, where you will be staying, a “rain-making ceremony” has been kept since the Edo period (1603-1868), which is very rare in Japan. Why don’t you join us and think about what we can do to preserve the culture for the next generation?
With many people having to be born or move to rural areas due to their parents’ occupations, caring for family members, job relocation, and other reasons, let’s create the lifestyle that we truly and sincerely desire! We are now preparing to work on creating a community where people can enjoy rural life and interact with the world on an equal footing.
