A kitchen in the woods, serving vegetables from its own fields.
This is a sample page. Komorebi Forest Kitchen is a fictional place, and its name, prices and hours are all made up for this sample.
How to enjoy it
Komorebi grows its vegetables in fields a short walk from the kitchen. As you eat, picture where in the view outside each vegetable on your plate grew. Come a little after the lunchtime rush and you can take your time with the sound of the woods.
A seasonal lunch plate built around vegetables picked that morning. Choose meat, fish or vegetables only for the main dish.
How to enjoy it
The same vegetable often appears grilled, steamed and raw on one plate. Taste them side by side and you will notice how its sweetness changes.
After lunch the room becomes a café with big windows. Bakes made with fruit from the fields, and coffee roasted nearby.
How to enjoy it
The window seats give you the best view of light through the leaves. On fine days the terrace opens too.
Walk the fields with the kitchen staff and pick a few of the day’s vegetables. You can take them home.
How to enjoy it
You walk on soil, so wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Ask which vegetable is best right now and lunch becomes more fun.

Make soba and eat it for lunch.
Tip
The most important step is the first one: working water into the flour little by little. Watch the teacher’s hands closely. Your soba is boiled on the spot, so taste a strand plain first to catch its aroma.

An 18-room hotel in the woods with an open-air hot-spring bath.
Tip
Hoshimi is a place for hot springs and night skies. After dinner, give your eyes time to adjust in the darkened courtyard before you look up. From the open-air bath in the morning, the ridge of the Southern Alps shows beyond the trees.

Walk among highland wildflowers through the seasons.
Tip
Plants here grow from fallen seed rather than planting. Labels are small, so check the flower map from the entrance when something catches your eye. Mornings are best, when flowers have just opened and the scents are fresh.

One of Japan's 100 finest waters, with a triangular stone that splits the flow three ways.
Tip
At the spring’s outlet, watch the water part three ways around the stone pillar. Learn how the spring works and its history at the Spring Museum first, and it becomes easy to picture villages sharing this water.
