Umaji Village: the perfect cozy getaway

Are you interested in spending your weekend in a small mountain village filled with the relaxing scent of yuzu? In Umaji, a tiny village of 900 people, you can stay in a comfortable ryokan hotel called Umaji Onsen (yes, they have hot springs!), enjoy their delicious homemade food flavored with yuzu, and fall asleep listening to the sound of the river

Umaji is famous for their yuzu products, which are made into everything from sweets and drinks, to seasonings and cosmetics. You can visit their factory (Yuzu-no-Mori) to see how their best-selling yuzu juice is made with such care and love

Explore the village, where you will meet kind and welcoming locals working in their yuzu groves or children having the best time jumping into the crystal clear river! Be sure to take a ride on the cute Rintetsu forest railway, and then see the timeless view of the village and mountains from the top of the Incline rail.

Take a deep breath of the fresh air and feel the joy of slow life in the village

Umaji Village is 1-hour and 40 minutes away from Kochi City by car
