    Enjoy Japan countryside and activities

    Cycling through the countryside of Tako Town. After visiting the temple, we went to Ryokan Masugataya to make onigiri rice bakls, make hanging scroll from very beautiful kimono's obi fabric and ended with matcha tea. It was great being able to experience so many activities in just 4 hours.

    Great way to experience countryside Japan

    Cycling through Tako Town was a great way to experience a glimpse of countryside life in Japan. The area was so quiet and picturesque. Tako is also famous for rice so a lot of the scenery included a lot of rice fields. the highlight was Ryokan Masugataya for sure! You can feel the owner's passion for repurposing Kimonos despite her not speaking any English. The riceballs that we made together also used rice from Tako which was a nice touch.
