Hida Folk Village: Traditional Vegetable Washing and Pickle Making

About this event

In the Hida region, when November arrives, vegetable washing and pickle making were traditionally carried out in preparation for the long winter. This event recreates and showcases these time-honored customs to visitors. You can see women dressed in traditional "neisan-kaburi" headscarves washing vegetables such as red turnips, daikon radishes, and Chinese cabbages in the village's clear stream, and pickling them at the Former Maeda Family House. This was an essential event to prepare pickles indispensable to the dining table throughout the year, offering a valuable opportunity to experience Hida's winter preparations firsthand. During the event period, pickles are scheduled to be served together with grilled mochi. Visitors can encounter local food culture while catching a glimpse of traditional lifestyle.
