Nikko Geta is a traditional craft with a long history. Their structure and appearance differ from ordinary geta—and there is a very good reason why.
Dig deeper into their history as you weave mini bamboo-skin sandals with a master craftsman and try on authentic Nikko Geta.
This is the only place where you can enjoy this hands-on experience. Your handmade mini sandals can be taken home as a cute keychain.
Create simple and cute crafts using local deer leather, known for its exceptional softness and texture.
However, there is a reality behind these crafts that goes beyond just being "cute."
While crafting, we will share the "real stories" of Nikko's forests, offering you a deeper understanding of the local environment.
It is said that brewing sake with water from the ancient "Sake Spring" creates the finest flavors.

These are extremely rare experiences held only once a year.
In the snow-covered hinterlands of Nikko, hunters still preserve ancient traditions. On this tour, you will accompany them on a "Maki-gari" (traditional group hunt) to witness their coexistence with nature and the cycle of life.
It is an opportunity to reflect on the core of "living"—something rarely seen in modern daily life, yet profoundly important.
*Registration for this year has closed as we have reached capacity.
In the beautiful season of fresh greenery just before the rainy season, a unique hunt for rare delicacies begins in the hidden valleys of Nikko.

We are "0-kara-Nogyo," a team of two childhood friends, Sasaki and Miyamoto.
With zero experience and zero knowledge of farming, we started a strawberry farm in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture.
Supported by the local community, we are challenging ourselves to build our fields and grow our strawberries from scratch.
We are working hard together every day to deliver strawberries that are "glossy and delicious!"
Started farming in April 2024.
At this farm, we cherish the "stories" of how vegetables grow, using no pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
As the name "Vegetable Story" suggests, I will deliver the "passion" I have for farming and the storytelling aspects of my work.
"I want to share Nikko not just as a tourist destination, but as a place where people live."
With this vision, I collaborate with local professionals—such as farmers, craftsmen, and hunters—to coordinate experiences where you can touch authentic culture.
Having been deeply rooted in this community for eight years, we turn your trip into a special experience, from hidden gems to the deep daily life of the area.
Would you like to enjoy the true face of Nikko with us?
