This experiential complex is located in the naturally rich satoyama of Yamashiro Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It serves as the "first point" connecting tourists with the charms of the satoyama that are familiar to locals. Walking along the approximately 360m-long "sky corridor," you can enjoy the spectacular mountain views and the "forest sea of clouds" that are sure to look great on social media. There is also a cafe popular for its rice flour pancakes, and a "forest play area" where children can play inside the building, so the whole family can have fun regardless of the weather. There are campervan sites and cottages, so it's nice to be able to extend your trip to explore the hot spring town after sweating.
You can spend a lot of time just looking at the exhibits at museums and art galleries, but why not take part in the exhibitions and events held at various locations? Its charm is overwhelming, and some fans say they have fallen in love with museums and art galleries because of the special exhibitions. It is also refreshing to visit local shrines and temples and admire the Buddhist statues and gardens. There are some temples where you can experience meditation, sutra copying, etc., so why not knock on the gate and try a little spiritual training?
