Holiday at the Tsubouchi Residence

About this event

"Holiday at the Tsubouchi Residence" is held at the former village headman Tsubouchi Residence in Tobe Town, Ehime Prefecture, a healing space where history and nature harmonize. On Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 10:00 to 15:00, you can enjoy an autumn holiday that satisfies the five senses through gourmet food, shopping, and hands-on experiences. The location—surrounded by a historic building boasting over 150 years of history, the murmur of the clear Tobe River, and vibrant seasonal greenery—is perfect for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle. Specialty gourmet food made with local ingredients and craft items to brighten daily life are gathered in one place. Menus that will satisfy foodies are lined up, such as nagashi somen (flowing noodles), rice balls (omusubi), wood-fired bread, gibier (wild game), and Sri Lankan curry. Sweets and drinks are also plentiful, including rice-flour snacks and baked goods, home-roasted coffee, and melon soda floats (cream soda). Health-conscious items such as natural foods, crude herbal medicines, and additive-free granola are also available. Craft goods, fresh cut flowers, pottery/tableware, textile products, and antique tools will also be displayed, offering the fun of exploring the venue with a treasure-hunting feel. There are also plenty of hands-on workshops that both children and adults can get absorbed in, featuring programs using all five senses such as woodworking, craft making, face painting/styling, aroma blending, tassel making, and "Kakera-chan" craft making. Parents and children can easily participate, creating an experience that deepens family bonds. Admission is free, and parking for about 20 vehicles plus Enseiji Temple parking are available. The latest event information is updated on Instagram at any time. In a space where Edo-period charm and modern craftsmanship resonate together, you can truly feel extraordinary richness amidst Japan's pristine rural scenery. An exhibition of works by printmaker Taijiro Morimoto is also scheduled, allowing you to enjoy a moment of art appreciation.
