🌳2025 Yama School Registration Starts 🌳 "Yama school" means to pretend to go to school and play in the mountains. Even a little earlier than now, when it took me an hour or two to walk to school, It doesn't change the fact that children like to play. We walk through the mountains and rivers to school, which is an ordinary playground full of charm. It's easy to lose track of time chasing birds 🕊️ and finding delicious grass 🌱. At such a time, at school "He's a dumpster, isn't he?" (Why doesn't he come?) (Isn't he playing in Squid mountains?) What a conversation was exchanged. In the old days, everyone experienced it! It will be a ✨ pleasant memory The eco-tour "Let's go to Yama School in Morotsuka!" is inspired by such a mountain school. It is a trip that touches on the rich Nature 🍃 as it is and the way of life of the people who live there. Experience life in the forest, which has been certified as a World Agricultural Heritage Site, using your mind and body to the fullest. Why don't you go on a trip unique to Morotsuka? 【2025 8 Courses】 🌸 Spring Hand-picked and hand-kneaded Traditional Japanese straw raincoat traditional kama-roasted tea making: Saturday, May 10 🍃 Summer Go to meet the "flower that gets happiness" KiRenge Shoma Climbing Kurodake in summer: Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24 🍂 Autumn Get ahead of the taste of autumn!
