A Gorgeous View That Extends All the Way to the Seto Inland Sea
The town of Koge, in eastern Fukuoka, is close to the border with Oita Prefecture. It is endowed with the bounty of the mountains and connected to the Seto Inland Sea via the Bungo Channel. The Sugaridani district in particular is famed for its beautiful scenery. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Seto Inland Sea and the far shore of the Kanmon Strait—all the way into Yamaguchi Prefecture. Its countryside location is just a 10-minute drive from the nearest interchange, making it easily accessible from Kitakyushu and Oita.
<Activities>
■Farming activities (shiitake mushroom planting, planting and harvesting vegetables, etc.)
Experience shiitake mushroom planting, as well as planting and harvesting different vegetables. The vegetables vary by season. During the summer holidays, you can pick cucumbers, eggplants, and green beans. During the Silver Week holiday in autumn, you can harvest rice. There are also occasional opportunities to harvest potatoes to cook and eat them with others.
■Forestry and other activities
Take a walk to view local wild plants. There may be opportunities to observe rare wild plants such as watercress and Japanese ox knee, and in some cases participants can even make their own dishes with such plants. During forestry activities, participants can clear undergrowth and trim branches, climb Mt. Sukari, and make pizza in a pizza kiln.
