Spend 10 days living in step with the edible landscape of Takigahara. From chopsticks to ingredients, together we will build a meal from our surroundings ~ foraging edible plants, fermenting seasoning, making noodles from seaweed, carving bamboo, and embracing the practice of seasonal cooking. We'll learn from the people who live here: Ako, artist and poultry farmer; Miwa-san, ama diver; Nari-san, bamboo artisan; Ariya, Buddhist priestess; Anna, forager and fermenter; and many others. What we make across the 10 days becomes the meal we share on our final night ~ a feast for each other and everyone we've met, served at a concept restaurant we design together. To root ourselves more deeply in place, we'll hike the local mountain and take part in tea ceremonies, Japanese lessons and a creative non-fiction writing salon. We'll also hand-cover journals from washi paper we make ourselves from foraged gampi ~ pages to fill with recipes, stories, Japanese phrases, drawings, maps, scraps of conversation. Japanese breakfasts will be served each morning with fresh eggs courtesy of Ako's flock. Each night, we'll dine on meals prepared from our surroundings by chef Takuto and hunter Maya: a Hokkaido pair whose work traces the full journey from land to plate. Held in a beautifully restored farmhouse at the foot of Kurakake-yama, this program is an insight into the source of our food and an opportunity to learn from the symbiotic relationship that exists between humans, the land and the sea in Takigahara. Takigahara Farm also has an on-site café, a natural wine bar, a sauna and bath overlooking the forest, and plenty of pockets of wilderness to wander and swim. 16 places only ~ the link to learn more is in our bio.
