[Akita惻Shirakami Mountains] Shirakami wild vegetables and tea tour

This plan allows you to easily experience the lives of local people who have lived closely with nature since the Jomon period in the Shirakami-Sanchi World Heritage Site. The area is close to the village, so you can rest assured that you will be guided by someone who was born and raised in the area.
First, we visited a waterfall that is popular among locals. It is easy to get to, but it has a hidden feel and is well worth seeing.
Next, you will experience picking wild vegetables. You will pick the most popular wild vegetable in the area, "Mizu", while listening to a lecture from a wild vegetable picking expert. When you return to Mori no Eki, you will learn how to peel the wild vegetables you picked and cook them the local way.
At the end of the day, we gather around the campfire for "gakko chakko," a gathering of close friends to chat while eating snacks such as gakko (pickles) and drinking tea.
You can enjoy cooking your own wild vegetables and tea made with spring water from the Shirakami Mountains around a campfire. It's a good idea to ask about life in this area.

Product Info

Choshi Falls In the Yunosawa community of Fujisato town, there is Choshi Falls, which has a drop of 18 meters.
The shape of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall resembles a tokkuri (a sake bottle), and the way the waterfall falls into the pool looks like sake is being poured into the bottle, hence the name "Choshi Falls." It's a relaxing spot that's easy to get to, yet feels like a hidden gem.
Picking Wild Vegetables You can experience picking wild vegetables such as Mizu in the Satoyama area very close to Choshi Falls. You can receive a lecture from a local expert on picking wild vegetables, so you can feel at ease.
Cooking wild vegetables: Cook the wild vegetables you picked yourself. For Mizu: Peel them and place them in boiling water to turn them a beautiful green color. Remove them immediately and mix with salted kelp to finish.
Gather around the Gakkochakko bonfire and enjoy freshly cooked wild vegetable dishes. You can also enjoy tea brewed with Shirakami spring water. Gazing at the flickering flames and chatting with the locals is a relaxing experience. You can also ask about life in this area. *In the summer, you can also cool off by the river instead of the bonfire.
