Take a stroll along the beautifully preserved streets of Ouchi-juku, a picturesque remote village that was a post town during the Edo period of Japanese history (1603-1867). During this experience, you’ll make your own soba noodles from scratch! 'Negisoba', which are soba noodles eaten with a green onion, are a specialty of Ouchi-juku. Soba is a beloved Japanese dish that few know how to make. Take the opportunity to master it! Please note that this experience will be led in Japanese language with limited to no English guidance available. Please contact us if you would like to hire an interpreter for a separate fee. After the experience, you'll explore Ouchi-juku. We recommend climbing to a viewpoint where you can get a panoramic view of the townscape and checking out a museum (the townscape exhibition hall [大内宿町並み展示館]) where you'll learn about the fascinating way of life of the people of Ouchi-juku during the Edo period.
