Satoyama Roasting & Ramble

Beyond the city lights, discover the "Satoyama" — a gentle landscape where the forest and the village breathe as one. This is a place of "tended nature," shaped by centuries of care and harmony.

Your journey begins with a scenic uphill stroll through towering cedar trees. As we wander, we’ll share the secrets of seasonal plants and the local wisdom that has defined life here for generations.

Along the way, enjoy a rare sneak peek at a traditional charcoal kiln currently under construction — a living testament to Kochi’s timeless craftsmanship.

The highlight of your retreat is the roasting experience. Using a Shichirin clay stove and legendary Binchotan "white charcoal," you’ll roast coffee beans with your own hands.

As the rich aroma fills the fresh Satoyama air, find your own peaceful moment in the quiet beauty of rural Kochi.
