Café Iju
We share tips on daily life and relocating to the area. Opened in 2022 with the support of local residents and designers, this facility centers on the concept of DIY. Aimed at newcomers, tourists, and anyone interested in village life or relocating to the area, we showcase the charm of the Tanokura village through a variety of activities and events—including opportunities to meet local residents, enjoy local cuisine, and experience traditional seasonal events (such as rice planting and Bon Odori dances).
