Overview

Experience real rural Japan near Hiroshima. Travel by local train, harvest garden vegetables, cook authentic dishes with a local family, and share a homemade meal in the countryside.

This private garden-to-table cooking experience takes place at a family home just outside Hiroshima City. You’ll cook with fresh vegetables grown by your hosts, along with seasonal herbs, fruits, and handmade preserved foods, while learning about everyday Japanese rural food culture.

Ideal for travellers who have already explored cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, this experience offers a refreshing change of pace. The scenic local train ride through rice fields, mountains, and rivers is part of the journey.

You’ll be welcomed into the host family’s home, where they live with their two children (ages 10 and 13). Through cooking, conversation, and time spent together, guests enjoy genuine hospitality and meaningful cultural exchange that goes beyond a typical cooking class.

Activity itinerary

Your experience begins with a pickup by car from the nearest JR station, followed by a short drive to the host family’s countryside home. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a handmade welcome drink and time to relax . Next, you’ll tour the garden, where you can harvest seasonal vegetables and see edible herbs growing nearby. Your hosts will explain how these ingredients are used in everyday Japanese cooking and how the seasons influence what people eat. Using the freshly harvested ingredients, you’ll then prepare your meal together. This is a private experience, so the menu is decided in advance based on your preferences. Vegan options are available. You can choose from popular Japanese dishes such as okonomiyaki, ramen, gyoza, sushi, or bento, as well as traditional home-style meals like ichiju-sansai (one soup with three side dishes served with rice). Once the cooking is finished, everyone sits down to enjoy the meal together. After eating, you can take a relaxed walk around the property, continue chatting with the family, and enjoy the peaceful rural atmosphere. After making your reservation, please check your email so the menu can be finalised in advance.
