'Bamboo Shoot Hunt ~With Bamboo Water Gun Making & Bamboo Shoot Lunch~' will be held exclusively on weekends and holidays from Saturday, April 18 to Wednesday, April 29, 2026. This is a popular program that sees many participants every year and is often fully booked. As the harvest season for bamboo shoots has been arriving earlier due to recent climate changes, we have prepared a special experience this year for you to fully enjoy the taste of the season. In addition to the bamboo shoot digging experience in the bamboo grove, you can enjoy a spring-limited lunch featuring plenty of freshly harvested bamboo shoots, and even make water guns using bamboo. It is an event where you can enjoy the blessings of nature with all five senses.
Please enjoy a special, time-limited memory-making experience with your family, digging up seasonal treasures in the spring bamboo grove.
## Event Details
After gathering at the clubhouse, all participants will depart for the bamboo grove.
It is about a 5-minute walk to the bamboo grove. Please be careful on the way as we will be walking on public roads.
Upon arriving at the bamboo grove, we will start with a 'Bamboo Shoot Explanation' by the farmers.
You can enjoy learning the 'secrets of the spring flavor' that you rarely get to know, such as how bamboo shoots grow and tips on finding them.
After that, the bamboo shoot hunt finally begins.
