It was also used in that famous cafe! What is the functionality of Takigahara stone? Takigahara Town, Komatsu City is a production area of Takigahara stone with beautiful blue gray color. The numerous stone quarries (choba) with a history of more than 100 years and arch bridges made entirely of stone are the major reasons why Komatsu City has been certified as a Japanese heritage site for its stone culture. Ishizai Aratani Shoten is a stone material shop that manages the only active stone quarry in Takigahara, which used to have many stone quarries. In this program, Mr. Shuichiro Funatsu, a geoguide who is familiar with the Takigahara area, and Mr. Yumi Aratani, the owner of Stone Aratani Shoten, have teamed up to guide you through the traditional arch bridge and inside the quarry. This is a tour where you can fully experience the beauty and functionality of Takigahara stone, which is used in various places, from burial mounds and graves to bridges, the dirt floors of ordinary homes, and stylish cafes. After the tour, we will hold a consultation meeting where you can consult us if you are considering using it as a building material. *If you would like to participate in the workshop after the tour, please apply below. Plan name: [Ishikawa / Komatsu City] Visit the only remaining farm in Komatsu and experience stone processing ★Workshop included★ *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.
The quarry (stone quarry) protected by Aratani Shoten is the only working quarry in Komatsu City, where stone culture has been certified as a Japanese heritage site. You can actually enter and see this unexplored area that you cannot see anywhere else. In addition, the tour will also show you the traditional arch bridges in the surrounding area. You can feel how Takigahara stone has been used historically.
Not only can you see the Takigahara stone that has been cut out as it is, but it also explains the points of processing of this relatively soft stone. We will also answer questions about actual construction as building materials and use in your home.
We will sell the offcuts generated when cutting and processing only for participants of this program. You can choose from a variety of shapes and sizes and use it as a small flower vase.
