A repeat-visit program that introduces people to everyday life, work, food, and community in Fukushima’s rural areas, with experiences designed to lead from a first visit toward possible relocation.

Why it surfaced

This is more deliberate than a standard countryside tour: its six-part journey moves from farm and craft experiences to repeated visits, local relationships, and eventually an informed decision about living there. The next two-day program is limited to eight participants and includes egoma cooking, vegetable harvesting, soba making, indigo dyeing, a lodge stay, and conversations with residents in Tamura City.
