Delicious rice produced from GNS's food waste
Omi Sonoda Farm Production Area Visit Tour 🌾
A special experience to feel the cycle of food firsthand. 
We're hosting an experiential tour toOmi Sonoda Farm, wherethey grow "Enko Rice" using compost made from food waste generated at GOOD NATURE STATION!
Along with a talk by Chairman Sonoda, you'll get a firsthand look at the vast rice paddies, observing the growth process of seedlings and watering scenes that you wouldn't normally see, giving you a real feel for the hard work and passion of farmers who cultivate crops. Furthermore, this fulfilling program allows you to learn about the food cycle in a fun way using all your senses, including a harvesting experience in a field where 100 kinds of vegetables are grown (you'll get to take home one type of freshly picked vegetable) and a tasting comparison of two types of rice in the form of rice balls while enjoying the scenery of actual rice paddies. We will also guide you to a direct sales store where you can buy fresh vegetables grown using compost.
