Over 20 craft workshops are scattered throughout, including woodworking, pottery, and soba-making, allowing leisurely exploration amid pastoral landscapes. Fresh fruit sales including apples and local oyaki (savory pastries) are popular, making it an ideal spot to wrap up your trip with souvenir shopping.
