A French chef came to Japan wanting to join Takefu Knife Village. He came to Japan seeking nature and quiet places rather than crowded tourist spots. He said he is more interested in a worn, ordinary shrine that feels like real life than a picturesque shrine for photos. It makes him feel a living culture. He recommended spots like Kotohirayama-gu, which are uncrowded and worth seeing. He was intrigued by Yukyuu Roman no Mori (Eternal Romance Forest) The waterwheel there caught his eye, and he liked the thatched-roof lodging. Traditional crafts are famously popular when people think of Japan. He was keen to try pottery workshops. He also loves nature. He thought walking from town to the shoreline would be enjoyable—people seem to love walking. He most wanted to try Echizen crab. He hoped to return during the crab season to taste this luxury. They want to experience real Japan We also spoke with young travelers spending long periods in Japan.
