Gibier is the French term Japan uses for wild game cuisine. Here it means wild boar personally harvested by your host, prepared as a full-course meal with organic, locally grown vegetables.

Is the butchering demonstration graphic?

You observe the entire wild boar disassembly process up close, which is a frank look at where food comes from. It is presented respectfully, as part of understanding what it means to receive a life.

Shoko Nagamitsu once worked an office job in Osaka before moving to Setoda, buying land, and obtaining a hunting license. She now works as a hunter, runs a catering service, and teaches others about purposeful living; the tour is as much her story as the island’s.

How do I get to the meeting point?

The Nakano Community Center in Setoda is about 20 minutes on foot from Setoda Port, 10 minutes by bicycle, or 6 minutes by car.
