“Feel like a local villager in Manazuru”
I really enjoyed the local food and markets of Manazuru. The dried fish, in particular, was very flavorful. My only regret is that I could not bring home some tofu due to the high temperature. I would like to come back again! It was impressive that Macco was greeted by almost everyone in Manazuru. By walking with her, I felt myself being accepted by the people of Manazuru. Thank you Macco!

“Wonderful holiday experience at heartful Manazuru!”
Thanks to the excellent guidance of the town/market by Macco, we could enjoy encounters with the residents and the delicious local food at the lovely market. Manazuru is a special place with its beautiful scenery of the ocean and the hills, and you can feel the residents' pride and passion to reserve the attraction of the town. No wonder why people want to move from cities like Tokyo and Yokohama to Manazuru, to get a different and happier life there! The memory of the happy faces gave me much energy to deal with everyday life back in the city. Thank you so much for the great holiday experience!
