Japanese Culture Rice Planting Experience
We helped plant rice by hand in June, using the traditional method. A muddy, hard but fun experience—our rice will be harvested in October!

We visited Takao in northern Kyoto to explore the peaceful Kozanji and historic Jingoji temples. Enjoyed yuzu cider at a riverside café with stunning mountain views.
Japanese Culture 🌿Tea Picking in Kyoto
We visited Kyoto for a hands-on tea picking experience with our children. From picking to drying and kneading, we enjoyed making tea as a family.

We took a relaxing ride on a Jukkokubune, a traditional wooden boat once used to transport goods. A perfect way to enjoy Kyoto’s calm canals and nature.
