■Recommended Points
1. Surprise and excitement from the feel of mud. Learn the "roots of food" using all five senses.
This is a "food education" tour where children can directly experience and learn the importance of food. Most children experience rice planting in the paddy field for the first time, and it's impressive to see them enjoying the unique sensation of putting their feet in the mud.

2. Horse riding and nagashi somen too! A fulfilling day to cultivate sensitivity in the great outdoors.
In addition to the rice planting experience, participants can enjoy horse riding in a peaceful natural environment, making it a day to connect with nature throughout. Nagashi somen (flowing noodles) is also a point that children will enjoy!
3. Delicious because "you grew it yourself"! A continuous experience to feel the joy of harvest and growth.
The seedlings planted by the children will be harvested during the autumn rice-harvesting tour. For children who participated in the rice planting, seeing the seedlings they planted grow big and splendid will be a very memorable experience, and the effect of "food education" is expected to be even greater. *The harvested rice will be sent to the homes of all participants of the rice-harvesting tour at a later date.
