Nozawa-na Pickle-Making Experience at Nozawa Onsen

Nozawa Onsen is one of Japan's premier hot spring destinations and is known as the birthplace of Nozawa-na pickles. During autumn harvest season, you can participate in an experience program to make Nozawa-na pickles while receiving direct instruction from local grandmothers. You'll learn the traditional method of washing Nozawa-na vegetables in hot spring water and pickling them with salt and red chili peppers. The finished pickles are delivered to your home, allowing you to enjoy the taste of Shinshu for a long time.
