What we'll do
This tour would give you the experience unforgettable. Satoyama is a woodland area near the village and a well reserved place for rice field and vegetable farm. People can see the Japanese country side landscape in good old days. Sasayama is located only 70 min. away from Osaka. Taking a local train for a while, you would notice being surrounded by beautiful nature. After taking a walk, please enjoy the mesmerizing French food in a traditional Japanese house which was built 150 years ago. The chef uses the local food and delicately works to serve the wonderful meal. You'd be surprised at the series of dishes like art works. Let's also visit the street with the traditional merchant houses on both sides. They are from about 400 years ago. The new and old houses are well blended and give you a unique atmosphere. Groumet, beautiful landscape and history would be the main factor of this tour.
Meeting place
Your guide will meet you at the central gate on the first floor of Osaka station. The central gate area is quite wide, so stay in the center of the central gate area near the ticket machines. Your guide will be standing with a name board.
