[AKITA-016] <Combined> Shirakami mountain veggies foraging and cooking experience
Akita
Shirakami Sanchi is a large, mountainous region located in the northern Tōhoku region of Japan, straddling the borders of Aomori and Akita Prefectures. It is most famous for its vast, pristine forest of Siebold's beech trees, a cool-temperate forest that once covered much of northern Japan. This is an easygoing experience to live like a local in Shirakami Sanchi and feel the ancient way of coexisting with nature.
