Re-connect with the outdoors: Experience Japan's Nature
Japan offers a wealth of beautiful, natural environments, full of rural communities ready to invite you into their homes.
Switch the city for the countryside and tap into local culture on your visit. A farm stay experience promises a memorable experience. Stay with a farming family and learn about how they live, participate in various activities and even experience helping out on the farm itself.
Rural experiences around Japan
From Hokkaido's Tokachi area in the north, to Okinawa's UNESCO-worthy Higashi-Son region in the south, local rural communities can be found up and down Japan ready to welcome you with open arms. They perhaps represent the best chance to experience real culture, from the rice terrace's of Ishikawa's Wajima area, or the fishing communities of Oita's Saeki area.
