It doesn't get more local than eating the wild plants that grow in your neighborhood. This festival, which celebrates Ono City's abundance of naturally-occurring wild edibles, has over 400 years of history. Why not go and try some new veggies?

The festival runs from 10am ~ 4pm on May 12th and from 8:30am to 1:30pm on the 13th.
You'll find stuff going on on Ono's Morning Market Road （七間朝市通り）

Not usually open to pedestrians, this road takes you past a lot of the beautiful scenes to be found in this national park. In fact, the road has been heralded as the most beautiful scenic route in Hokuriku! It costs ¥1500 to participate in this 15.5km walk. You don't have to reserve ahead of time, but there's talk of a discount if you sign up before the day of. More information can be found at the website below.
