Meet your guide at JR Bungo-Mori Station and take a short, scenic drive to a local shiitake mushroom farm nestled in the quiet countryside. At the farm, meet the local farmer and learn about the traditional methods of growing shiitake mushrooms on natural logs. Get a real look into the care and work that goes into producing these high-quality mushrooms.

Grab a basket and personally harvest your own shiitake mushrooms directly from the logs. Pick as many as you’d like to eat. Then, grill your freshly picked shiitake mushrooms right there, paired with other local ingredients. Enjoy a simple, yet incredibly flavourful meal and a relaxed chat with the farmer.
