5.00I really enjoyed this tour! I love mushrooms and it was wonderful to visit the magical mushroom forest! I learned a lot of interesting facts too! The shiitake mushrooms were delicious. The guide, Kei, was great! He answered all of my questions really quickly and helped me find accommodation. The tour had good food and good company! I recommend it!
Amazing, very interesting & tasty tour in the rural party of Japan! Recommended 10/10! Great guide and experience!

5.00We booked this informative and genuine tour during our first trip to Japan in November. It was a little chilly, but no problem with good sneakers, thinner down-jacket and wind/rain jacket (+hat). Kei, our English speaking guide for the day, picked us up from the train station by his car. First stop was a local supermarket, where he showed us different mushrooms and how they are used in Japanese kitchen. Then we drove to the farmers house. It took about 20min and was full of interesting discussions. At the farm we learned about the process of growing Shiitake and then we went in to the forest to harvest our own mushrooms that we grilled later at the farm (4 pieces are enough per person ;) ). The family welcomed us very warmly into their home, since it was quite cold outside and the lunch was great! All in all an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend!
