A local guide will take you on a local bus and a short walk in Oda district, a small mountain village, located at the east side of Uchiko Town.
First stop of the short walk is chestnuts trees. Chestnuts are produced here in Oda from a long time ago. You can see how the Japanese chestnuts grow and maybe pick up some burrs for a picture later on.
Then walk through an old shopping street of Oda, you will see traditional houses nearly 100 years old.
The main event of this tour is the vegetable dyeing workshop.
A local vegetable dying community named "Someya Tetoha" will teach you how to dye a handkerchief with chestnuts burrs. You can leave some marks to make it more original to you. Enjoy communicating with locals.
Then walk to a local’s favorite restaurant and have Tarai Udon, the specialty of Oda district for lunch.
You may get an option to visit Odamiyama valley with extra fee. Please ask.
