A very special activity! It takes place in a lovely old ryokan in a small town at the seaside. We made a lot of photo's! With our friendly host (who speaks perfect English) we bought biological vegetables at a local farmers shop and fresh fish from the local fishmonger. We then steamed it ourselves in the traditional steamovens and, wow, it tasted absolutely delicious! Afterwards, we enjoyed a bath in the hotel's hot spring. All in all a really pleasant experience! Tip: If you are based in Nagasaki you can take the Nagasaki Prefectural Express bus from the station directly to Obama. It stops a 100m from the ryokan.
