PICK UP TOUR& EVENT
Wed 21 FebHourokushaThis workshop is about making card cases from Fujino wild boar leather. The workshop uses an easy-to-make kit that only requires cutting the leather and attaching metal fittings, so it is suitable for leatherwork beginners.
Wed 21 FebHourokushaThis is a deep dive into the familiar wheat as food. Learning, observing, threshing, milling and eating are all packed into this half-day experience.
Wed 21 FebHourokushaThis is an experience of making shime-modori (decorations to welcome the New Year). In Japan, it is traditional to decorate a shimenawa (sacred straw rope) with rice straw from the rice harvest to welcome the god of the year.
Hourokusha
We live from the soil.
When I was a company employee and was sent to Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture, where agriculture is flourishing, I suddenly had this thought.
I am currently farming in the Fujino area of Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
We produce a wide variety of vegetables without using fertilisers or pesticides, and also offer various hands-on projects, such as making leather products from locally caught deer and wild boar.
We have also started a private accommodation business from 2022.
EXPERIENCE REPORTS
What fascinating experiences are on offer at the Hourokusha?
The reporter had a go!
"I wanted to 'make something from local products'. At the moment, I get wild boar and deer skins from hunters in Fujino and have them made into leather by a supplier in Tokyo.
He told us that he had decided to hold a workshop using the leather.more →
STAY AT THE PRIVATE RESIDENCE
Where to stay
The Mine Foothills House is situated at the foot of the Mine Mountains, in a rich natural environment where the sounds of insects and birds can be heard. We grow vegetables naturally and offer various agricultural experiences. The Mine Foothills House was originally a recreation center and has been converted into a guesthouse, so it is a solid one-storey Japanese building that can be used spaciously. Bathrooms and toilets have been renovated so you can stay here with peace of mind. Grocery stores and supermarkets are 10 minutes away by car. There are also hot spring facilities and river playgrounds nearby, and we can guide you to restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so please feel free to contact us.
