Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • Deep in the mountains of Kumano, the village of Irokawa (also known as Irokawa) may seem like any other rural area, but it's a slightly unusual place, with over half of its residents residing in the area. Though the population is small at just over 300, many families have settled here, and the village is filled with the lively voices of children. Irokawa is actually home to more deer, wild boar, and other animals than people. In recent years, as food supplies in the forest have become scarce, there have been a series of incidents of deer descending into the village and eating the vegetables and rice cultivated by farmers (a phenomenon known as animal damage). Irokawa is home to several hunters, each with their own goals, from protecting the fields to eating the meat. While their goals vary, they share a common commitment to not waste the lives they capture. In addition to using the meat for food, they also craft deer antlers into art objects and tan deer leather for artists to create accessories. This experience begins with entering the mountains with a hunter to search for signs of wild animals. You will then receive an explanation of capture methods and even get to experience butchering and eating a deer. *Depending on the capture situation, you may be asked to butcher a carcass instead. ~Experience Schedule~ ⚫︎2:30 PM Meeting/Orientation. First, we'll break the ice and explain precautions to take when entering the mountains. ⚫︎Enter the mountains with the hunter and search for signs of wild animals. Patrol with the hunter! They may have been caught in a trap. ⚫︎Deer butchering experience. We'll butcher the deer together until it's ready to eat. ⚫︎BBQ of butchered venison. Don't miss the hunter-style eating experience. ⚫︎18:30 End. *I can barely speak English. Communication will mainly be via a translator.
  • Go into the mountains with a hunter and check the traps!
  • You will enter the mountains with a hunter who knows the mountains inside and out, and search together for signs of deer, such as deer droppings and footprints. If you're lucky, you might even catch a live deer!
  • You can eat fresh game meat!
  • The experience includes patrolling the area, butchering the deer, and finally eating the meat. Not only is it delicious, but the experience of eating meat that was alive just moments ago may be a source of nourishment for your future.
  • You can enjoy nature to the fullest!
  • The Irokawa area, where the event is held, is full of mountains, mountains, and more mountains. Enjoy the great outdoors and experience a moment of escape from the everyday.
