[Experience the traditional Japanese technique of "Yose"] "Yosemono" jewelry, with sparkling crystals, is made all over the world, but in Japan, it has evolved in a unique way, with the pieces arranged on a layer of mud called "Yoseko" and then "soldered" to create the design.

The charm of the Shimanto River is the alternating rapids and gentle currents. If you want to go down the river while riding the current of the Shimanto River, we recommend the one-day river SUP tour. The difficulty level increases suddenly when you go down the river where there is a current! In the morning, SIJ and SUPA certified instructors will give a thorough lecture on the basic operation of SUP and the current of the river so that even beginners can try the current. After lunch, in the afternoon, you will go on an adventure down the Shimanto River while looking at the "submerged bridge" that is synonymous with the Shimanto River and the beautiful river scenery that cannot be seen from the road! The course starts from the submerged bridge and returns to Mishima Campsite, taking on two flowing water points. You will be addicted to the exhilaration of paddling a long distance and riding the rapids! If you are worried about going down the flowing water, we will respond flexibly, such as having you ride the guide's SUP.

Winter has come to Yamagata again this year! Let's go on a snowshoe hike and snowboard ride to fully enjoy the abundant snow! ! A snow play tour where you put on snowshoes and snow hike through the snowfields with a guide, and when you arrive at the best spot, enjoy a snowboard ride. A nature guide who conveys the joy of nature will accompany you and give a lecture on how to walk on snowshoes and ride on a snowboard, as well as the unique fun of winter. What is a snowboard? Snowboards and snowtoys are a unique Japanese culture that was born from the idea of sliding through the snow with a wooden board. These simple toys, which have no edges or soles and are coated with varnish or resin and have a non-slip surface where you place your feet, spread quickly throughout snowy countries, giving birth to creative shapers all over the country and are still spreading rapidly (from the BUDDHABLANK website). It is an easy-to-enjoy activity that does not have bindings or edges, and you just place your feet on the non-slip surface of the board and slide. It is similar to skateboarding and surfing, and one of its features is that it can be enjoyed easily with boots or snow boots! During the tour, we will also hold "Nature Games" using natural items. You'll have to wait until the day to find out what kind of games will be held! For a short break, we will also offer Nagai's original blend coffee and sweets. In addition to coffee, we will also provide sweet drinks such as cocoa. You can also bring your own sweets! *Please take your trash home with you. As a tour perk, we will include a bathing ticket for "Ayame Onsen New Sakurayu," so please make use of it.

Neriko is a black pill-shaped incense that was widely used during the Heian period. In The Tale of Genji, there is a scene in which Hikaru Genji, Murasaki no Ue, and other characters are actually created and evaluated, and it is still known as one of the Six Kinds of Kaorumono. It is also used in front of the charcoal in winter during tea ceremonies. Nerika is not something to be used at room temperature, but rather to be warmed to enjoy its aroma. We placed lit charcoal in an incense burner filled with ashes, placed incense sticks on top of the warmed ashes, and enjoyed the scent that wafted through the air. Enjoy the relaxing time and space as the charcoal warms the ashes, along with the scent. It is also recommended before welcoming guests. We have boxes and bags for you to take home, as well as charcoal and incense burner ash for you to use at home.

Create your own original incense paste using only natural incense ingredients such as powdered sandalwood, dragon brain, and clove! Zuko is a powdered incense that monks apply on their palms as a purifying scent in Buddhism. Among the Japanese scents that are used by transferring the scent to something, it is the only one that can be applied directly to the body. In ancient times, people used to collect the first morning dew that had accumulated on lotus leaves, mix sandalwood with the water, and apply it to their bodies. Unlike liquid scents, it is a powder type, so it has low volatility and does not easily diffuse into the surrounding area, making it a convenient scent that can be used without being noticed by those around you. Recommended for relaxing between work. Also, since you only need to use a small amount and don't apply too much, this item is perfect for those who can't get a strong scent in a place where there are people, but still want to add something. *Some sects, such as Zen Buddhism, do not use incense.
