~To Those Considering a Trip to Kamikatsu ~
Kamikatsu is a small town with a population of less than 1,500. In 2003, it became the first municipality in Japan to make a "Zero Waste Declaration", aiming to become a garbage-free town. For responsible travelers who want to experience Kamikatsu as it really is and learn and enjoy through travel, we offer a variety of programs.
~Story~
Colorful leaves used for decorating food are one of the specialties of Kamikatsu, and are a part of the culture born from the Japanese sense of beauty. Kamikatsu leaves are sold under the "Irodori" brand, and their value is recognized by traditional restaurants throughout Japan. Seasonal leaves, flowers, and wild vegetables are harvested, shipped, and sold. This business model, which allows elderly people to work lively while using computers, is attracting attention from all over Japan. This is an opportunity to learn about the unique industry of Kamikatsu and to enjoy the five senses by coloring your meal with a sense of art.
