Put Down Your Smartphone for Tea and Pestle: A Quiet Medicinal Hot Pot Lunch in a Renovated Cattle Shed, Avoiding Golden Week Crowds in Chiba.

Washinmura, nestled in the rich nature of Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture, is a unique glamping facility created by renovating a 200-year-old traditional farmhouse. It promotes a new lifestyle in harmony with nature and coexistence with rescued animals, including cats. The facility offers diverse experiences such as BBQs, bonfires, treehouses, Nordic saunas, and a cafe, aiming to be an evolving farm-style resort that provides healing and peace of mind to all visitors.

This spring, Washinmura introduces a special lunch experience: 'A Quiet Medicinal Hot Pot Lunch that Turns the Pages of Kampo Stories.' This service is held in a space that was once a cattle shed, now beautifully renovated. Guests are encouraged to set aside their smartphones and engage in the meditative process of using a mortar and pestle while enjoying Taiwanese tea. This exclusive offer is limited to just two groups per day, making it an ideal choice for those looking to avoid the typical crowds of the Golden Week holidays and spend a serene time in the countryside. The experience focuses on 'digital detox' and 'wellness,' allowing visitors to reconnect with themselves through the slow preparation of medicinal food and the tranquil environment of the Satoyama hills.
