An "Imoni Cooking Experience" will be held on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Wakuwaku Farm, the on-site farm of the family amusement park Musashino Mura in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture.
Participants harvest autumn vegetables such as taro and green onions, then simmer them with beef and konnyaku to make imoni, a stew, with each family cooking its own pot.
Visitors can see how vegetables grow in the field, touch them by harvesting them, and eat what they picked on the spot, making it a hands-on food education experience. It is a way to create a special autumn memory at an amusement park.
