about us
Our field
Hokusetsu-Satoyama 北摂里山
Next to Osaka, in eastern Hyogo Prefecture, lies Hokusetsu Satoyama area. Only about 1 hour train ride from Osaka. With Japan's best satoyama, Hokusetsu Satoyama area has fostered nature and traditional culture close to local people’s daily lives
for hundreds of years.
As a certified tour guide and a local resident who really loves this area, I would like to introduce
the hidden charm of Hokusetsu Satoyama and welcome you as our close friends through walking around the satoyama and meeting various people.
