Why not create a memorable memory of your trip to Yamanashi Prefecture by making Oshino Hakkai Soba noodles using meltwater from Mt. Fuji? This is a hands-on experience of making a traditional Japanese dish with a long history. Oshino Hakkai is a tourist destination with eight ponds fed by spring water from Mt. Fuji. The spring-fed ponds are highly transparent and have been selected as one of Japan's 100 famous springs, making Oshino Hakkai a popular spot for delicious soba noodles. While soba noodle-making experiences are available throughout Japan, this is the only place where you can enjoy soba noodles made with Mt. Fuji's spring water. Anyone can easily make Oshino Hakkai soba. This experience is suitable for beginners, including those with limited cooking experience, small children, and those who have never made soba before. Many of our past guests have booked with groups of family and friends, and the more people there, the more fun it becomes. The extraordinary experience of making noodles is highly enjoyable for both children and adults. We also offer a dyeing experience, where you can try traditional Japanese dyeing techniques using natural materials. This experience can be combined with the hoto experience. Each step of the dyeing experience is carefully explained, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for those new to dyeing and those bringing children. The natural feel of natural materials and the craftsmanship of your own hands create a one-of-a-kind product that no one else can imitate. ◆Recommended for◆ Those who want to try famous Yamanashi Prefecture dishes Those who want to make Yamanashi Prefecture's local dishes Those looking for activities at Lake Yamanaka or Lake Kawaguchi Those who want to experience cooking with their children Those looking for an experience program Those who are having trouble sightseeing on rainy days Those looking for sightseeing in English

We make delicious soba using underground water from Mt. Fuji. The soba dough is kneaded and shaped from powder, and then rolled out using a rolling pin. Children as well as adults can enjoy an extraordinary experience. Soba is a little more difficult to make than udon or hoto. Compared to udon and hoto, the dough for soba is thinner, and the noodles need to be cut into thinner pieces. Therefore, it may break into small pieces during the boiling time. In order to make it as difficult as possible to tear it into pieces while boiling, there are conditions such as mixing the flour and water quickly and evenly, making the dough and kneading it thoroughly, and rolling out and cutting it quickly. Our staff will support you, so let's do our best together.
