The Soothing Aroma of Lavender Everywhere

In early July, the lavender shrubs planted everywhere around this facility start to bloom and paint the place with the soft purple color of those cute and aromatic flowers. As a result, the annual Lavender Fair takes place where guests are able to join lavender harvesting events and craft aromatic sticks at the Donguri Workshop (Donguri Kobo).

*: Lavender water and lavender aromatic stick crafting have been cancelled in 2020.

Shopping for local produce and souvenirs, soak in onsen baths, and much more

Besides the never ending lavender planters and fields, the place also has the cozy shop Donguri Yokocho (lit. "Acorn Gallery" どんぐり横丁), inviting and featuring an absurd amount of items for sale, from locally produced vegetables and processed food to merchandise of its acorn-shaped mascot character and much more.

Stop by the spacious Donguri-no-Yu (どんぐりの湯) onsen hot spring bathhouse, with several kinds of pools and jet baths, and all the amenities for a nice relaxation time - including open air hot baths with beautiful decoration and stunning views.

During the period, the facility also hosts the Blueberry Fair on limited days, when freshly harvested berries from the nearby farms, as well as other blueberry products, are offered for sale. One famous item is the rice flour bread with blueberries. Nom-nom!

Also check out the Tourist Information Center certified by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) for Foreign Tourist Guidance.
