Denshoen

Denshoen (伝承園) is a charming folk village that gives you a look into Tono’s traditional rural life. It includes around a dozen old-style farmhouses and warehouses, along with the original farmhouse where local folklorist Sasaki Kizen gathered the region’s oral traditions. There’s also a small museum dedicated to his work and the culture of Tono.

Visitors can take part in fun activities like weaving, making straw crafts, and listening to traditional storytelling. These hands-on experiences help you connect with the daily lives of farmers from the past. Surrounded by peaceful nature, Denshoen offers a quiet and cultural escape in Tono’s countryside.
