A Day to Discover Takashima's Water and Lifestyle - Cooking Rice the Traditional Way
Takashima City continues to flourish with the knowledge and traditions of its residents who coexist with spring water. This plan offers a day of immersing yourself in the local lifestyle, including shopping at a supermarket frequented by locals and preparing rice using a traditional stove, followed by an afternoon visit to the Harie district, recognized as the "home of fresh water," where you can observe a kabata (traditional Japanese smelter) and sample local sake at a brewery, all while enjoying the unique warmth and relaxed pace of Takashima's community.
