Daisuke Michigami, a roofer who has inherited the family business (president of Daiei Ceramics), continues to take on the "indefatigable challenge" of unraveling the "wisdom," "skills," and "teachings" of his predecessors that are embedded in each and every "Awaji tile," a traditional industry that has a history of 400 years, and passing them on to the future. What is the reason for continuing to take on new challenges? We will get to the bottom of the secret. Daisuke Michigami, a roofer, will talk about the charm of "tiles" created by the soil of Awaji over time, the thoughts he puts into making each and every tile, the scenery created by the layers of "tiles," and his commitment to the "beauty" of Japanese architecture, all at "Gallery Doza," a space completely wrapped in soil and tiles. Awaji tiles were hit hard by the unfounded rumor that "the damage caused by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was so great because the roofs were tiled." Even in an environment where the survival of Awaji tiles is still in doubt, Michigami has found great potential in "Ginfurubi" (tiles that are new yet somehow nostalgic, baked to a vintage, antique texture), and has been bringing out new charms of Awaji tiles that are different from anything that has come before. Now that his thoughts have taken shape, tiles are connecting people with each other, and Japan's good old traditional beauty is being reevaluated. Tile maker Michigami Daisuke's "insatiable challenge" will continue. After listening to his story, you can enjoy a space surrounded by earth and tiles that you would never believe is inside a tile factory, a view of the townscape that has flourished due to tile production since the Edo period, and Michigami's passion for "beauty" at "Gallery Doza," where you can feel Michigami's passion for "beauty." You can pretend to be a tile craftsman and try making your own "one-of-a-kind tile coaster," one of the new possibilities of tiles. You can choose from a variety of Japanese pattern designs that are prepared in advance, as well as original designs. Try making a rich work full of your sensibility. Experience schedule9:00~ (20 minutes) Message from tile maker Daisuke Michigami (President of Daiei Ceramics Co., Ltd.) - "Creating the future of tiles" - He will talk while showing slides at [Gallery Doza].9:20~11:20 Experience making your own original tile coaster that is one of a kind in the world *You can start at any time between 9:00 and 14:00.

The first sea kayak (a wide variety of sea kayaks are available) Lake Chuzenji is located in Nikko National Park and is a dammed lake created by the eruption of Mt. Nantai 20,000 years ago. It is the highest lake in Japan with a circumference of about 24km, an area of 11.62km2, a maximum depth of 172m, a lake surface altitude of 1269m, and an area of 4km2 or more excluding artificial lakes. Because of this environment, the scenery of the four seasons, the magnificent view of Mt. Nantai from the lake, and the clear blue lake water are exceptional, and it is a world that I long for even if I am not a kayaker. Some people may want to ride a sea kayak but are scared of the sea, but you can try sea kayaking on the lake. It is a project where you can fully enjoy the nature of Lake Chuzenji in Oku-Nikko in one day. The Nikko Nasu Outdoor Service / Tochigi Kayak Center, which puts safety and security first, has thoroughly managed risks and has been updating the kayak tour accident-free record since its opening.

[What is suridane in the first place? ? Suridane is an all-purpose seasoning that originated in Fujiyoshida and is based on red chili pepper with sesame and Japanese pepper. I always have it when I go to Yoshida's udon and hoto shops in Fujiyoshida and Kawaguchiko. Generally speaking, we think of ichimi and shichimi as the spiciness of udon, but here in Fujiyoshida and Kawaguchiko Yoshida's udon, we use suridane instead of ichimi and shichimi. Suridane is also called “Karami” or “Spicy” and is placed on counters and tables in the same way as tenkasu and soy sauce. It's not just spicy, but the umami is condensed into the spiciness. Common suridane is often moist, but the way it is made varies depending on the shop, so they have established their own unique taste by stir-frying in oil, adding soy sauce, sugar, and dried bonito flakes. increase. Super Spicy Takana-sensei's suridane is a completely original recipe that mixes [blended red pepper] and [black sesame]. In addition to udon, we recommend it as a versatile seasoning for various dishes such as ramen, hot pot, oden, and yakisoba. [Introduction of suridane making experience] Our store was originally the first suridane specialty store in the Fuji Five Lakes area, selling over 20 types of our original suridane. We have prepared a wide variety of spiciness and taste variations, and it has been featured in the media many times, probably because of its curiosity. The suridane base is made with non-spicy red pepper, sesame seeds, bonito flakes, and salt. Even if you add sesame oil to this, it's still delicious as suridane. is also recommended. In addition, we also offer spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, as well as healthy grains such as rice bran, bean curd refuse, and amaranth. You can make your own original suridane, the only one in the world, so it is a highly recommended experience for those who visit Fujiyoshida and Kawaguchiko. Even for small children, it is popular because it feels like an experiment because it is made by mixing various powders. Why don't you make your own original suridane that is perfect as a souvenir for yourself or as a gift for your parents and friends? It takes about 30 minutes. Since it is an indoor facility, there is no problem even if the weather is bad. Please feel free to use it. [This plan is recommended for the following people] ・Those who are interested in suridane ・Those who are interested in making seasonings ・Those who want to enjoy with their parents ・Those looking for hands-on activities ・Those looking for activities in rainy weather direction

Nice to meet you. I run a marine shop in Ginowan City. This is Honu Marine. We would like to provide a friendly guide so that even those who are new to trial diving or who want to try diving but are nervous about the sea can enjoy themselves with peace of mind. We will not take you to the sea on days when the wind is extremely strong, when the sea conditions are not good, or when safety is not likely to be ensured. We hope you will participate with peace of mind. ★There are many coral reef areas around the little-known Ginowan Port Marina. ★Even in places close to land, such as in front of Tropical Beach, in front of the breakwater, and in front of Ujidomari Port, we can change the point considering the influence of waves and wind. ★Even though it is a place that can only be reached by boat without beach entry, it is close to the marina so there is no need to worry about seasickness. ★Since there are many first-time participants, we will first take you to a point where you have a high chance of encountering sea turtles in one dive so that you can enjoy it without burden. (Depending on the sea conditions) ~Experience flow~ ①Receive a lecture on the tour from the instructor. ②When you are ready to put on your wetsuit and get ready, board the boat. ③It takes less than 10 minutes to get to the point, so there's no need to worry about seasickness♪ ④When you arrive at the point, follow the instructor's instructions and head out to the sea! ⑤Enjoy the beautiful sea and fish of Okinawa. ⑥When the boat returns to the port, the tour ends. ⑦You can rent a shower at the marina for a fee.
