A Leisure Day in Matsuda: Meditation Followed by Fishing

Ashigara Area Full day 6

This is a plan that allows you to fully enjoy both stillness and movement all in one day, combining a zazen experience and river fishing. In the morning, reflect on yourself at a sacred site with a 600-year history, and in the afternoon, try fishing in the clear stream of the Nakatsu River that flows through Nishitanzawa! For lunch, buy a hearty omusubi (rice ball) loved by Matsuda locals.
