The Saitama Prefectural Product Tourism Association will hold a two-day tour on Saturday, October 14 and Saturday, October 21, 2023, "One-day tour to enjoy Nagatoro and Fukaya, places related to Eiichi Shibusawa".
The tour begins with a ride down the Nagatoro line, followed by lunch and a meal of Chichibu's local cuisine at Hana no Omotenashi Choseikan, a ryokan associated with Eiichi Shibusawa. After that, you can visit the treasure mountain shrine of the three Chichibu shrines, and enjoy the seasonal vegetable harvesting experience (vegetable take-home) at the Fukaya Terrace Yasai Friends Farm of the experience farm.
The meeting on the day will be at 9:15 at the west exit of Kawagoe Station, and we will visit each spot by chartered bus. The dismissal was around 16:30 near Vesta River Echizen.
The participation fee is 12,800 yen for adults and 11,800 yen for children, and participation for preschoolers is negotiable. The number of applicants for each session is 30 (minimum number of participants is 20). To apply, visit the Tourism Association website.
Eiichi Shibusawa, the father of modern Japan's economy, drew attention to his birthplace, Fukaya City, in the 2021 NHK Taiga drama. In July next year, Eiichi Shibusawa's portrait will be used in the design of the new 10,000 yen bill, and it is likely that the place related to Eiichi will attract attention again.
