Hello to all of you who are viewing the Activity Japan BLOG. Normally, I write this blog focusing on outdoor activities that I am interested in, but this time it is an exception. When I write this kind of blog, my friends ask me "Are you not familiar with XX XX?" Or "Can I make a reservation at a discount?", But the latter is completely impossible lol So, there are some details about the former, and there are areas and events that I'm not interested in (no borders), so I can't say anything about it ...

However, this time it is an area that I am a little interested in, and as a parent with the same child, I responded to the request as a special case " Kyoto I would like to write while investigating "play that can be enjoyed with children on a trip". Of course, it's not good to just look it up and tell it personally, so in the form of "Look at this blog!"! Lol That's why in 2019 Kyoto If you are thinking of traveling, please refer to it ~

First of all, the word "SNS shine / Instagram shine" has become established and now Kyoto "Kimono rental" has become a staple of tourism and leisure. In fact, my girlfriend Kyoto The photos uploaded to SNS at your travel destination are all in kimono lol Certainly, Japanese clothes look good on the cobblestone streets such as temples and shrines and Gion. I'm a man so I don't want to wear it that much, but if I'm a girl I'll definitely do the same! Laugh, kimono rental is "adult Kyoto I think you might think of "travel", but in reality, it's not the case, and recently the whole family with children has changed into kimono. Kyoto It seems that the number of families taking a walk is increasing. It's surprisingly cheap to rent, so even the whole family can enjoy it at a reasonable price. Depending on the plan, it seems that it is more profitable to make a reservation with a couple or a large number of people than one person. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't mind, but I'm a son who loves Sentai things.

The next recommended event is Kyoto Not only, but also at hot spring travel destinations, it is a popular "ceramic art experience / ceramic art class" as a standard play. You can make your own works using traditional techniques such as electric potter's wheel and hand-kneading, so it is attractive not only to make memories but also as a souvenir for your home. Kyoto In the ceramic art experience class where you can easily participate while sightseeing, a veteran ceramic artisan will give a lecture from the basics, so anyone seems to have a full-fledged finish to some extent. I'm not dexterous with my hands, but I wonder if it's okay ... lol It seems that children can enjoy it because it can be shaped like playing with clay. I think you can make anything depending on your image, such as teacups, teacups, ashtrays, single-wheel inserts, sake bottles, sake bottles, and tankards. Kyoto Let's try "making one original ceramic work in the world" as a pleasure of sightseeing ~

Lastly, I would like to introduce the most recommended "Japanese sweets making experience" for me who loves sweets! Kyoto After all, Japanese sweets and matcha are the tea time for sightseeing! !! The plan introduced above is a course where you can make your favorite sweets from four types: raw sugar, uiro, kuri-kiri, and kuri-kinton. You can make authentic Japanese sweets that are beautiful to the eyes with the guidance of a craftsman. Kyoto Yatsuhashi is famous as a famous confectionery, but it is the best for me to make and eat the Japanese confectionery like this plan as I get it at the shop. It's a choice that completely suits my taste, but I think it will be appreciated as a kid's time. Absolutely recommended if you like sweets! !!
