Students studying Japanese food culture and White Tourism visited Goshogawara on Dec 14-15 to learn about the food served and customs traditionally observed at the end of the year and monitor the content of tours designed for inbound tourists to the region.

They visited Kazemaru Sou to participate in mochi making and food preparation before staying at the homes of Minpaku (Bed and Breakfast) Owners registered with the Green Tourism Association of Goshogawara. The next morning they gathered at Kanagi Genki Mura Kadarube to learn about old games which were played in this area, and paid a visit to the Shinmeigu Shrine.

The students will provide the green tourism association with detailed feedback regarding each segment of their experience which will be utilized to plan tours that cater to overseas visitors.
