A Day of Local Immersion in Naruto
“Our local friend guided us for four days in Naruto, taking us to an udon restaurant with no tourists, a 100-year-old farmhouse where we learned local cuisine, and then to see their lotus root fields. This was a deep trip that only the locals know about.”

Savoring Local Udon and Sashimi with Sudachi
1Udon Tatsumiya RyuguNarutoNaruto, Tokushima, JapanCreator's voice- Sashimi with Sudachi — Fresh, glossy sashimi served with sudachi, a local citrus. The local way is to squeeze the sudachi directly over the sashimi to preserve its aroma, rather than mixing it with soy sauce. It adds a delicious, refreshing tang.
- Tokushima Udon — Udon noodles, a specialty of Tokushima. They're often enjoyed with sudachi, even in miso soup, for a unique local flavor.

It records the year the house was built, the carpenter, and the head of the family at that time, offering a glimpse into the home's history.
- Totoro-like Bathroom — An amazing old-style bathroom that looks exactly like the one from the movie 'My Neighbor Totoro.' It was built by the owner's grandfather using rocks from the Yoshino River. While not currently in use, it's a fascinating glimpse into traditional Japanese bathing culture.
- Somen Noodles with Sudachi — Famous somen noodles prepared in the farmhouse kitchen, generously topped with sudachi. The sudachi adds a fantastic aroma and refreshing taste to the light noodles, a staple of local Tokushima cuisine.
- Lotus Root Fields — Expansive green fields where lotus roots are cultivated. The leaves are enormous, allowing for fun photo opportunities where you can hold them over your head, reminiscent of scenes from 'My Neighbor Totoro.' It's a beautiful natural landscape to explore.
