Feel nature with your whole body while opening your five senses Experience the beauty and harshness of nature in a land that is said to be unexplored
Selected as one of Japan’s top 100 unexplored regions in heavy snowfall, Akiyama-go offers a glimpse of the harshness of winter, while still retaining the beautiful scenery of the original snow country. In the past, in order to survive in this land, we used the means of food preservation to pass the winter. However, during times of famine, unseasonable weather continued for years, and the village disappeared due to food shortages. How did you feel about the lack of food before wintering?
We will hold a trip to feel the food that has been spun in this land through “waste”, the patience of the people living in Akiyama, and the richness of modern times.
