Fodor's Expert Review Shunran no Sato
16-9 Miya-chi, Noto-cho, Hosu-gun, Ishikawa-ken, 927-0322, Japan
More than 47 traditional houses in this farming village at the end of the peninsula have been turned into minshuku, giving you the chance to experience rural life. Try your hand at chopping firewood, harvesting rice, making jam, or dyeing fabric with the villagers' patient instruction. Meals (included in the rate) are as local as you can get—the rice is harvested from paddies outside the houses. Email is the best way to correspond.
