おがわ作小屋村
Ogawa Sakugoya Mura
Enjoy the nostalgic scenes of a former Japan and delicious local cuisine
Ogawa Sakugoya Mura is located in the Ogawa district of Nishimera Village, surrounded by mountains, and the beautiful scenery of a traditional Japanese farming village remains here. The thatched roof sakugoya contain facilities such as a shop and restaurant featuring local goods and produce. The local cuisine is especially famous, featuring local ingredients such as rice, shiitake mushrooms, venison, persimmons, chestnuts, and wild vegetables. The most popular dish on the menu is the Ogawa Shiki Gozen, or seasonal lunch set, that features 16 different dishes on small plates. The premises also include a small museum that introduces the history and culture of Nishimera, and cottages where you can spend the night. Incidentally, Ogawa Hanamiyama (Ogawa Flower Viewing Mountain), located across from Ogawa Sakugoya Mura, offers a chance to enjoy cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall.
At the end of September every year, a Kagura dance performance called Tsuki no Kagura (Moon Kagura) is held at a venue lit by moonlight and bonfires. The experience of this traditional dance in the mystical surroundings is unforgettable. Ogawa Castle Ruins Park and Mera Shrine can also be found nearby.
