We also strive to accommodate food allergies, dietary restrictions, and religious requirements whenever possible.
This hands-on cultural experience combines authentic local cuisine, Japanese traditions, and unforgettable memories of the Mt. Fuji region.
Guests can enjoy a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while learning a traditional recipe that has been passed down through generations in Yamanashi.
