Plan description

While touching the mechanism and history of thatched roof, you can experience it safely with the roof actually built on the ground. It's an experience in a place with a roof, so it's OK even in the rain. Even children can experience it. You will fully experience the work of a thatched roof craftsman in 2 hours, which is tightly condensed. At the end of the experience, you will be given a commemorative photo and a certificate of completion of the experience. This is an experience where you can feel the thatched roof that you saw as a landscape of a satoyama. Why don't you experience the traditional technique of thatched-roof craftsmen who have been designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage as a memory of your stay?

You can actually experience thatched roofing!

You will be asked to use straw materials and roof with the tools actually used by craftsmen. You can get a sense of accomplishment of roofing as if you were a craftsman. You can have a fun experience while experiencing the division of roles that you actually do when roofing. The craftsman's mood is at its peak with the final experience end certificate and commemorative photo.

The original thatched book is amazing!

The original thatched-roof book that has been kneaded is a special book in which the thatched-roof craftsman supervises all pages, and the thatched roof and all the craftsmen are tightly packed. It is a fun finish that you will want to see again and again after the experience.

A craftsman with a happi coat and a washcloth! A memorable experience

At the time of experience, the original happi coat and hand towel will further increase the popularity of the craftsman. The original towel is a gift to commemorate the experience. Please take a lot of pictures!
