Guida
"Shokuiku Sentai Umemonja" is an experiential food education program held at the Aoshima Youth Nature Center in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture. The program aims to help participants feel the cycle of life and the richness of food by not just eating, but also planting, growing, harvesting, cooking, and processing vegetables.
Activities include planting seedlings, harvesting, shopping, group cooking (rice cooking), and making roasted sweet potatoes. By using all five senses in a natural environment, children can develop a deeper awareness of food.
The greatest charm of this event is experiencing the entire process of food production in nature. Observing how vegetables grow and harvesting them with your own hands provides a precious experience that cannot be learned from a textbook.
Beyond just harvesting, the program includes cooking and processing the ingredients. Activities like group rice cooking and making roasted sweet potatoes foster teamwork and communication skills. Feel the changing seasons as you touch the soil and watch vegetables grow.
Please check the official website for specific dates and registration periods.
The event is held at the Aoshima Youth Nature Center, surrounded by rich natural scenery.
