About the accommodations
Surrounded by plants and flowers, the appearance of Farm Guest House Micchan is adorable. And it’s no wonder because Micchan is a veteran who has been involved in group plant and flower planting and arrangement for more than 25 years. Making contact with the planting and arrangement group that seems simple but is actually deeply thought out will refine your own artistic sensibility. Also, since crafts made by her husband having an artisan spirit are placed here and there, pick them up, if given the okay, and stimulate your sensibility in a likewise manner.
Bath and amenities
Micchan’s bath is relatively wide and deep. You can soak up to your shoulders and stretch out your legs. Amenities for bathing and for getting ready in the morning include a toothbrush, shampoo, body-wash, cleansing foam, and hair dryer.
About the meals
At the guest house, you can enjoy Micchan's home-made meals to your heart's content. Feel free to tell Micchan what you want to eat, such as saba zushi, burdock root-contained sushi rolls, croquettes, sansai-okowa, or yomogi dango (mugwort dumplings). Of course, self-catering is acceptable. In this case, enjoy cooking delicious local dishes using seasonal vegetables under the guidance of Micchan.
※Self-catering menu is subject to change depending on the accommodation schedule.
※If you want to know the day’s self-catering menu, make a separate inquiry.
Example activities
【Hands-on country cooking (Muslim friendly dishes)】
Micchan's cuisine is also popular with visitors to Japan, including those from Southeast Asian countries. When cooking with Muslim guests, Micchan does not use meat and alcohol, so Muslim guests can enjoy Japanese country dishes with peace of mind.
【Hands-on making of Ohagi (rice dumplings covered with bean jam) and Yomogi Dango (tansy herb dumplings)】
Ohagi and Yomogi Dango are made with homemade sweet bean paste from Micchan's guest house. They have a simple and gentle flavor that is unique to the Japanese countryside. Wouldn’t it be fun to make dumplings full of sweet bean paste while talking with Micchan?
【Origami experience】
You can experience Origami by reusing Washi paper used as a liner for dishes. They are folded into lovely shapes, and suitable for souvenirs.
