The Experience
Grape Picking Experience at “Ousama no Budou Ryokoumura Farm”
At Ousama no Budou Ryokoumura Farm, grapes are cultivated using primarily organic fertilizers and natural pollination methods. This allows you to enjoy the grapes’ naturally rich and flavorful taste.
During the tour, enjoy picking one bunch of Shine Muscat grapes and one bunch of regular grapes, along with a refreshing treat of “Frozen Grapes.”
Please Note:
- The varieties of grapes available for picking vary depending on the season.
- Depending on growing conditions, the tour may be canceled. Please understand in advance.
Oita Specialty Lunch
Conger Eel (Hamo) is a highly nutritious fish known for its light and refined flavor. In summer, hamo has less fat and firmer meat, giving it a refreshing taste.
Oita Ajiichi Green Onions are a signature branded vegetable from Oita Prefecture. Even when cooked, they retain their crisp texture and develop a naturally sweeter flavor. Enjoy them as Negi Shabu-Shabu, where the green onions are lightly cooked in a hot pot.
Menu:
- Hamo Rice Bowl with a sweet and savory soy sauce glaze
- Oita Ajiichi Green Onion Shabu-Shabu
- Dango-jiru (Oita-style dumpling soup)
- Small Side Dish
Please note that the menu may be partially changed depending on ingredient availability on the day of the tour.
Usa Shrine – The Head Shrine of Hachiman Shrines
Of the approximately 110,000 shrines across Japan, more than 40,000 are dedicated to Hachiman. Usa Shrine is the head shrine of all Hachiman shrines and has a history of approximately 1,300 years.
The First Main Sanctuary was built in 725 to enshrine Hachiman Okami, the divine spirit of Emperor Ojin. The Second Sanctuary enshrines Hime Okami, while the Third Sanctuary enshrines Empress Jingu.
Usa Shrine is also one of only 16 Imperial Chokusaisha shrines in Japan, which receive special visits from imperial envoys known as Chokushi.
The shrine is believed to offer a variety of blessings, including protection from misfortune, good fortune, family safety, road safety, and success. The large camphor tree in front of the main sanctuary, Meoto Ishi (Married Couple Stones), and Negai-kake Jizo are also popular spiritual power spots.
