No other place could capture the natural beauty of Japan as perfectly as Furusato Mura in Tono. Without cars, shops, or any indications of modernity, it’s a destination completely removed from the distractions of the outside world. On a stunning summer day, a stroll through this traditional Japanese folk village is peaceful, refreshing, and quite unique.
