Educational Tours in Miyama

We offer educational farmstay programs.

Since 2015, we started to accept middle school students in abroad.  In 2017, more than 400 students from Taiwan visited Miyama and stay overnight at local home.

Students will homestay with locals and try various rural Japan experiences, such as wood-chopping, dressing chickens, weeding, harvesting vegetables or playing in the snow etc.
