Hiroshima Garden to Table Cooking Class

Experience real rural Japan near Hiroshima. Travel by local train, harvest garden vegetables, cook authentic dishes with a local family, and share a homemade meal in the countryside. This private garden-to-table cooking experience takes place at a family home just outside Hiroshima City. You’ll cook with fresh vegetables grown by your hosts, along with seasonal herbs, fruits, and handmade preserved foods, while learning about everyday Japanese rural food culture. Ideal for travelers who have already explored cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, this experience offers a refreshing change of pace. The scenic local train ride through rice fields, mountains, and rivers is part of the journey. You’ll be welcomed into the host family’s home, where they live with their two children (ages 10 and 13). Through cooking, conversation, and time spent together, guests enjoy genuine hospitality and meaningful cultural exchange that goes beyond a typical cooking class.
