BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE!! Satoko so warmly welcomed us into her beautiful home and village, a quick train ride from Hiroshima but a world away from anything we've ever experienced in our extensive travels across East and Southeast Asia. If you're looking for an authentic, local taste of the Japanese countryside with the kindest host, this experience cannot be beat. We explored Satoko's beautiful gardens with her, her father, and children, picked ingredients directly from the garden to include in our meal, and proceeded to have the best cooking class, cultural exchange, and home-cooked meal we've had in any of our travels. Satoko and her children made us feel so welcome and provided the most authentic and genuine experience one could hope to have. Many thanks Satoko for your hospitality and kindness.

Thank you so much for visiting our home.
I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the vegetable dishes. Japanese cuisine uses a lot of vegetables, so I’m glad I could prepare dishes that suited your dietary restrictions and preferences.
Some guests have told me that while they often eat sesame seeds, they’ve never used freshly ground sesame in cooking, so it feels very new to them. Now that you have your own suribachi (grinding bowl), I hope you’ll try making many kinds of Japanese dishes at home.
Once you get used to grinding sesame, I highly recommend trying shira-ae (tofu and vegetable salad) and sesame sauce, which is delicious on noodles or as a dressing.
If you ever have questions, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Very friendly and welcoming with a lovely home and gardens. Helpful and accommodating with dietary restrictions and preferences. We had a really nice time.

Thank you for visiting our home. We really spent good time with you. and I hope that you will try making tofu hamburg steak at home.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime!
Being so warmly welcomed into a family home in Japan is a privilege and a wonderful experience. We learnt a lot about real family life and cooking on a small farm in a peaceful rural community.

Thank you for visiting our home. We are part of a younger generation that simply enjoys an old-fashioned, traditional way of living. In fact, I think people who live like we do are becoming quite uncommon.
That is why it made us truly happy that you visited our home, experienced this rare style of daily life, and spent time with our family. We also very much enjoyed the time we shared with your wonderful grandfather and the young man. Thank you so much.
We had a very great time with Satoko and her family ! We felt at home and discovered a lot of homemade specialities from her garden. Food was really flavorful and we truely appreciated visiting the garden.
We would do it again, thank you for this wonderful experience!

Thank you for visiting our home.
We enjoyed the time we spent with you guys.
It was also a very meaningful time to be able to exchange cultural information about rural life and agriculture.
I am very happy that you enjoyed all the Japanese dishes, including the preserved foods we made, saying "Sa Se Bon." We look forward to seeing you again with other dishes prepared!!
My kids really miss you.
