[ Details of Tour / Activity ]
You will stay in a renovated Japanese farmhouse in Toyo Town, at the most eastern tip of Kochi Prefecture. The package includes a cooking class where you can make local dishes and traditional kokera sushi.

Kokera sushi is a specialty of ToyoTown that is served at celebrations and special events. It is made by marinating rice with yuzu juice and pressing it into sushi that is topped with vegetables such as shiitake mushrooms or carrots, giving it a bright and vivid appearance.

The cooking class starts at 3pm at Noneya Lodge. A large box of sushi rice (15kg) can make enough servings for 150 people, but for the class 1.5kg of rice will be used. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available (please ask at time of booking).

You can eat the kokera sushi you made for dinner in the evening, while at breakfast the following morning you can enjoy them grilled over the charcoal fire.

During your stay, please enjoy exploring the surrounding area. A guide can also be arranged as an optional extra. If the season is right, you may also be able to try picking yuzu citrus fruits.

Check out is by 10am.
