Experience Toyota Green Life Wild Game Cooking and Antler Craft

We will pick you up by private car at your hotel in Toyota City or Nagoya City and head to Yamakei.

Gain meaningful insight into the circle of life as Yamakei’s local experts explain how game meat is traditionally prepared in the mountains. You’ll learn about the respectful processes involved and how local communities make use of nature’s gifts in a sustainable way. This experience highlights the value of nutritious ingredients provided by the region and fosters a sense of gratitude toward both the wildlife and the people who support this culture.

Enjoy the bounty of the surrounding mountains with a BBQ lunch featuring wild boar and venison.

From the afternoon, another experience making use of the local wildlife begins as the owner of Sanshu Shishimori Shachu Workshop instructs you on how to make your own necklace with a pendant made from deer antlers—often discarded after harvesting the venison. Help to use normally discarded parts of the animal as you make a commemorative piece to remember your visit to beautiful Asuke and to give thanks to the gift of life received.
Feel the mountains and wild side of Toyota City with all five senses as you help local businesses promote sustainable ways of living.
