[Iwate] “Tono Furusato Village” where you can experience “Maburitto” and mountain village life

Tono Furusato Village in Iwate Prefecture is a facility that recreates the traditional lifestyle of Tono, where you can participate in a number of hands-on programs and gain an understanding of mountain village life by actually doing farm work. Because it has been recreated as an old-fashioned village, it has recently been increasingly used for filming dramas and movies, including the popular NHK taiga drama "Sanada Maru."

Experience life in a mountain village with Maburitto, such as farming and straw crafts.

The Maburitshu, who live their lives while preserving Tono's culture, actually do farming and traditional events here on a daily basis, and kindly teach visitors about them. Folk tales, soba noodles, and pottery making experiences seem to be popular among tourists. There are some experiences that you can experience without a reservation, and others that require reservations in advance.

You can also enjoy Tono's delicious local cuisine, and the most famous one is the char-covered rice, which won the top prize at a local cuisine competition, but there are also 5 other local cuisine set menus, suitable for 7 to 180 people. It is possible to apply in advance. In addition, various traditional events and events are held every season. Especially during the Dobekko Festival held in winter, you can enjoy Doburoku made in Tono Furusato Village and Dobekko, a local nigori sake.
