This is a course where you can experience one of the representative decoration techniques of lacquerware, "Makie". “Kakoku” is to decorate and beautify the surface of the product. It is a decoration technique to attach. We use cashew paint, which is a non-irritating synthetic resin paint, so that you can enjoy it safely. In this course, you can choose one of your favorite bowls and finish the original bowl by drawing pictures and letters with die-cutting and freehand. If you use the prepared designs, even people who are not good at drawing can easily work, and you can also bring your own original design and draw freely. “Kitanihonbashi Yumehigashi Main Store” is located in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, where many long-established traditional craft shops are gathered from the Edo period. Muto, the organizer, is a long-established company with history and tradition as a wholesale store specializing in lacquerware that has been in business for over 100 years. A workshop instructor with specialized skills will teach you carefully. The real thrill of the experience is the moment when the colors change when the sown powder is wiped off. How about experiencing Maki-e, a unique Japanese traditional technique?

■I want to try a little, I want to start! ■Let's Try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) A stand-up paddle board born in Hawaii. Let's enjoy walking on the water! Even beginners can enjoy it easily. SUP Start! Depending on your idea, cruising, fishing, health management with an enhanced sense of balance, etc. Stand-up paddle board (SUP) that anyone can enjoy and get inspired by the harmony with nature. "Stand Up Paddle" is a water activity that is also called "SUP" or "Stand Up Paddle Board (paddle surfing)". In recent years, SUP has been attracting attention from famous surfers such as Maui's Layered Hamilton and Dave Kalama, and Oahu's Brian Keallana, but its history is long, dating back to ancient Polynesian civilization. In the 1960s, men working on the beach of Waikiki, the mecca of surfing, used outrigger canoe paddles to carry tourists and surfed on longboards, so SUP is also known as the "beach boy style." It became popular in recent years. The fun of SUP is endless! SUP has a strong image of standing on a board, but in fact, you can enjoy it freely whether you sleep or sit! You can leisurely paddle and cruise, take a walk on the water, surf, or do yoga or pilates on a board. You can also fish in places that are difficult to reach by boat. You can enjoy it just by paddling like a canoe. The SUP board is smaller than a canoe and has only one paddle on one side, making it easy to enjoy. Standing on a board on the water, you can see the scenery from a higher vantage point, and you can feel the real thrill of nature in a different way than usual. There is also a healing effect of bathing the whole body in negative ions at the waterside, and this SUP allows you to enjoy various ways of playing and natural scenery that you have never seen before. Popular SUP for women! Amazing shape up and diet effect! SUP is said to have the same effect as aerobic exercise such as running by paddling the whole body. In addition, standing on the board while maintaining balance, even for a short period of time, strengthens the inner muscles around the pelvis, attracting the attention of women. It is a hot topic among famous models and celebrities in Japan and abroad because it has a high shape-up effect, such as a tight waist, a stooped back, a plump stomach, and a metabolic syndrome. According to one theory, the amount of calories burned per hour is 4 to 500 kcal for SUP yoga, and 6 to 700 kcal for SUP cruising and SUP surfing. (*By the way, if a person weighing 65 kg runs at a speed of 10 km/h for 1 hour, the amount of calories burned is about 650 kcal.)

This is a mine tour and nature experience tour in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, on a buggy. This tour will take you around the vast 250,000 square meter mine in a new buggy introduced in February 2025. You can enjoy the highlights of the mine, the rocks that are collected, and the native plants. This may be the only "extraordinary space" that active families and couples can enjoy in Japan. Legacy and Innovation ~ Continuation and Challenge ~ With the SDGs and carbon neutrality being called for, it is not unreasonable to see mines as environmental destroyers. However, our company, which is engaged in mountain regeneration, opens the mountain during the closed period and wants people to know the current situation and efforts. With that in mind, we have implemented various efforts. Our mine mines mine raw materials and develop quarries for pottery, tiles, concrete materials, and landscaping. The role of mines has changed with the times. However, this place still has stories to be passed down and hidden charms. This may be the only experience in the country where you can feel the breath of the mine again and experience its history. As more and more mines are closing, we are taking on the challenge of bringing new light to the area. This means continuing to run with respect for the past and hope for the future. We will weave a new story about the mine together with the buggy. Tour information~Information~Period: April to November (excluding winter when snowfall and roads may freeze)Dates: Saturdays and SundaysTime: 10:00am to 12:00pm, 1:00pm to 3:00pm (2 hours each)Fee: 3,500 yen for adults, 2,200 yen for childrenEligibility: 10 to 60 years oldMinimum number of participants: 2 peopleMaximum: 3 people per groupReservation deadline: 7 days in advanceMeeting place: Marufuyogyogenryo Co., Ltd., 383 Nodagahira, Togo-cho, AichiAccess: 30 minutes from Sanage IC on Sanage Green RoadWhat to bring: Long sleeves, long pants, hat, sunglasses (optional)Inquiries: We do not accept inquiries by phone or emailOthers : Children under 10 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
