Yuikirara is a facility in Koge Town in Fukuoka Prefecture that offers opportunities for people to experience rural life in Japan. It was created from an elementary school that had closed, and offers tatami rooms for groups to sleep in and delicious food cooked by the community from local ingredients.

On June 17, eight students from Malcolm Swanson’s 3rd-year seminar class traveled there to enjoy this rural experience. On the first day, we were welcomed by the local elders and given a lunch of delicious curry. After that, we spent a few hours planting rice seedlings by hand in the traditional way. After a quick break to enjoy a glass of shiso juice, we returned to the fields to harvest potatoes and sweetcorn.

Dinner that night was a delicious platter of many local dishes (see the photo below), and then we went for a walk to watch fireflies. After we returned, we enjoyed setting off fireworks before heading back to our rooms. It was a great day with lots of healthy outdoor activities, but everyone still had enough energy to chat and play games until early morning.
