    [Breakfast-Included Plan] Enjoy Wakasa's spring water and exquisite Koshihikari rice.Plan for cooking your own morning porridge [Breakfast]

    ■Breakfast - Morning porridge with Kumagawa Kudzu sauce We will slowly simmer the delicious Wakasa-grown Koshihikari rice "spring water rice" in the famous local water "Uriwari no Mizu" to make porridge. The time spent slowly cooking porridge in a clay pot is one of the things we recommend you to enjoy at Yaoyaku Kumagawa. Kumagawa Kudzu, a specialty of the Kumagawa region, is actually a rare ingredient that has been selected as one of the three great kudzu in Japan. We will serve it with kudzu sauce made from Kumagawa Kudzu, which has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times, and locally grown Japanese pepper. <Nearby area and access> Kumagawa-juku is a post town in the mountains that connects Kyoto and Wakasa, and is located on the border between Fukui and Shiga prefectures. It is a 50-minute drive from Kinomoto IC on the Wakasa-Maizuru Expressway. It is also easily accessible from the Tokai and Kansai areas. This is an area where you can enjoy sightseeing in the three areas of Fukui, Shiga, and Kyoto. Time flows at a leisurely pace in this post town where many travelers have come to rest. A five-minute walk from the guest rooms is the Kumagawa Trail, a trail that allows for easy mountain walks, and other popular activities that make use of nature, such as SUP and kayaking at the Mikata Five Lakes, a 30-minute drive away, and stream climbing in the town. Enjoy a relaxing moment in the tranquil countryside. The guest rooms in this mountain village have a gentle, soft atmosphere and are equipped with a kitchen, dining/living room, washroom, bath, bedroom, and more, allowing you to stay as if you were living in a post town.
