The Matriarch’s Kitchen: Seasonal Cooking at a Historic Temple Lodge

Inside a temple lodging with a lineage spanning 550 years, the Okami (landlady) opens her kitchen to you. This is not a lesson in complex haute cuisine, but in the honest, rustic flavors sustained by the local terroir. Using seasonal mountain vegetables, you will prepare the region's unwritten recipes alongside her, then sit down to a lunch that tastes of history and the land itself.
