[Kagoshima City] Braided Strap Experience (with admission ticket)

<About the experience> This plan involves making an original strap using Oshima Tsumugi thread produced in the museum's workshop. Straps made by placing a piece of paper with a wish written on it inside a braided cord are extremely popular and make wonderful keepsakes! Why not take part in making a strap filled with your precious thoughts? <Experience benefits> After the experience, you can stroll through the elegant Japanese garden, which changes with the seasons, or the Amami-style garden, which recreates the primeval forest of Amami.

Kasuri threads that are dyed in advance to weave Oshima tsumugi. In this plan, you can make your own strap using this Kasuri thread. Choose 4 colors of Kasuri thread of your choice, make Japanese paper with your wishes and messages into a twisted shape, and knit it with a braid stand. Choose from about 20 types The combination will change depending on how you put in the effort when making the color scheme of the thread, so the strap of 10 people and 10 colors will be completed!

The staff will support you kindly and politely, so anyone can participate with peace of mind. With your friends and family, of course, you can do it alone. There are various wishes, such as weaving words of gratitude on Mother's Day, exchanging straps with messages to each other as a couple, and the purpose of making them. It is an experience where you can spend a time full of excitement.

"Amami no Sato" is filled with tropical plants and brightly colored flowers. In the garden that shows the expression of the four seasons, you can see the scenery that reproduces the virgin forest of Amami Oshima. There are many facilities and events where you can feel Amami, such as a workshop where you can see the detailed and colorful Oshima Tsumugi manufacturing process and a restaurant where you can enjoy the taste of Amami. Please enjoy a leisurely day together with strap making.
