Why not create a memorable memory of your trip to Yamanashi Prefecture by making Oshino Hakkai Soba noodles using meltwater from Mt. Fuji? This is a hands-on experience of making a traditional Japanese dish with a long history. Oshino Hakkai is a tourist destination with eight ponds fed by spring water from Mt. Fuji. The spring-fed ponds are highly transparent and have been selected as one of Japan's 100 famous springs, making Oshino Hakkai a popular spot for delicious soba noodles. While soba noodle-making experiences are available throughout Japan, this is the only place where you can enjoy soba noodles made with Mt. Fuji's spring water. Anyone can easily make Oshino Hakkai soba. This experience is suitable for beginners, including those with limited cooking experience, small children, and those who have never made soba before. Many of our past guests have booked with groups of family and friends, and the more people there, the more fun it becomes. The extraordinary experience of making noodles is highly enjoyable for both children and adults. We also offer a dyeing experience, where you can try traditional Japanese dyeing techniques using natural materials. This experience can be combined with the hoto experience. Each step of the dyeing experience is carefully explained, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for those new to dyeing and those bringing children. The natural feel of natural materials and the craftsmanship of your own hands create a one-of-a-kind product that no one else can imitate. ◆Recommended for◆ Those who want to try famous Yamanashi Prefecture dishes Those who want to make Yamanashi Prefecture's local dishes Those looking for activities at Lake Yamanaka or Lake Kawaguchi Those who want to experience cooking with their children Those looking for an experience program Those who are having trouble sightseeing on rainy days Those looking for sightseeing in English
Really enjoyed the soba making class, the instructions were shown to me visually. My sensei tried her best to explain in English which I appreciated as well as teach Japanese words. At the end I managed to eat my soba according to my taste. It was presented as cold dipping noodles. Enjoyed the session, my sensei was lovely and will come again! Good for solo travellers.

At the local cooking experience class [Fujiya], we offer a hands-on experience of making "Yoshida Udon", a specialty of Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture! ☆★Introducing Fujiya☆★Nice to meet you. Our restaurant is located in Fuji Kawaguchiko Town, located in the Fuji Five Lakes area of Yamanashi Prefecture, and is holding a hands-on class where everyone can make and enjoy Yamanashi's local cuisine. We are open every day with the hope that tourists visiting Yamanashi will learn about Yamanashi's food culture and history, and that it will be one of the memories of their trip to Yamanashi. Our staff will carefully support you so that even beginners in cooking and small children can enjoy participating. We are used by many customers not only for small groups such as private trips, but also for group trips such as school trips, company trips, and sightseeing tours. Please come visit our store when you are in the Fuji Five Lakes area. ☆★Introducing Yoshida's udon making experience☆★Yoshida's udon is a local dish of udon that is loved around Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It is an unusual type of udon that is characterized by its hard and chewy noodles and toppings such as horse meat and cabbage. It has also been selected as one of the ``Top 100 Local Dishes from Rural Areas, Mountains, and Fishing Villages,'' selected from among the local flavors of each region. Yoshida's udon noodles are characterized by thick and chewy noodles, toppings made with horse meat and cabbage, and a soup made with miso and soy sauce. This is the only place in Japan where you can eat it with a spiciness called suridane. Yoshida's udon was originally a home-cooked dish, so each restaurant has its own characteristics. For example, some restaurants use beef or horse meat, and the sides vary in hardness and length. Although there are general rules, there are no clear rules, so the freedom of making them may also be a characteristic of Yoshida's udon. In this plan, customers will make udon noodles from powder. Enjoy with hot soup and toppings such as cabbage, fried tofu, and wakame. The content is quite extensive, so please come hungry. Our store also offers a dyeing experience where you can experience traditional Japanese dyeing techniques using natural materials, which can be used as a set with the hotou experience. During the dyeing experience, we will explain each step in detail, so even those who are new to dyeing and those who come with children can participate with confidence. The natural feel of natural materials and the fact that you make it with your own hands create a one-of-a-kind product that no one else can imitate. ◆ Recommended for the following people ◆ Those who want to try Yamanashi Prefecture's famous dishes Those who want to try making Yamanashi Prefecture's local cuisine Those who are looking for activities at Lake Yamanaka and Lake Kawaguchi Those who want to experience cooking with their parents and children Plan an experience For those who are having trouble sightseeing on a rainy day Those looking for sightseeing with English support *Due to our reservation system, all reservations are by request, but in most cases You can make a reservation at your desired time.

Come to Kanazawa! Have fun on sunny days and rainy days! Even though Kanazawa is a city that looks good in kimonos, it would be a waste to just wear a kimono and go sightseeing! Since it's a rare opportunity, why not try to experience a little bit of Kanazawa's traditional culture and have an experience that can only be had at that time. Kanazawa rains a lot, so you may be worried about whether you can take a leisurely stroll in a kimono... If you experience making kimono scrap art, you don't have to worry about that at all! ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<What is making kimono scrap art?>This is an experience where you carefully unravel each piece of kimono that you can no longer wear due to holes caused by burning or stains that won't come off, and use small pieces of kimono scraps to paste them onto stencils to create a one-of-a-kind art piece. We have a variety of stencils, such as the Tsuzumimon Gate at Kanazawa Station, the Kotoji lantern at Kenrokuen, and Kanazawa Castle, so please choose the one you like! Don't worry, there are also simple designs such as dinosaurs and flowers for children. No special skills are required, so anyone can easily get started. It's interesting that even if you use the same stencil, you can create a different work depending on the kimono scraps you use! You can take the finished work home in a frame on the spot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<Plan Contents> ① Reception Our store has a very homely atmosphere and our friendly staff (we're so friendly that we always get along with our customers...lol) will guide you. ② Create a one-of-a-kind kimono scrap art Make your own special work! There is no answer to art! Some people create boldly, others delicately! The best part is thinking about the color arrangement and cutting the kimono into your favorite shape, so you can experience it while chatting with the staff in a friendly atmosphere! ③ Decide the color of the frame ④ Choose the color of the frame and put the work in You can take the finished work home in a frame on the spot. We would be happy if you could hang it in the entrance or on the wall as one of the wonderful memories of your trip to Kanazawa. If your plans change due to sudden rain... why not experience culture while playing at such times? All of our staff look forward to meeting you. *If you would like to make a reservation on the day, please contact us by phone.

Once your reservation is confirmed, you will receive an email. Please be sure to confirm. This experience can accommodate up to 15 participants. During this experience, you will receive a lecture on Japanese swords, learn kata (cutting techniques), practice sparring, test-fire a bow and arrow, and try slashing with a mock sword. During the test-slash, you will slash multiple targets while moving with the mock sword. Slashing while moving is extremely difficult. Please experience the difficulty for yourself! Your instructor will be Yoshioki Sumida, assistant instructor of the All Japan Toyama-ryu Iaido Federation. With over 27 years of experience, he has taught at overseas branches in the United States, Europe, and Hong Kong. He is one of the very few instructors in the world who has deeply mastered and continues to pass on both kenjutsu and yabusame. Iai will teach you how to handle the sword, gekken will teach you distance from your opponent and attack/defense, and drawing the sword will teach you how to hold the blade. ~Schedule: Time may vary depending on the number of participants~ ① Demonstration (3 minutes) ② Lecture on swords (20 minutes) ③ Changing into training clothes (10 minutes) ④ Iai lesson (20 minutes) ⑤ Kendo lesson (20 minutes) ⑥ Archery lesson (20 minutes) ⑦ Sword test (20 minutes) ⑧ Certificate of Inka (5 minutes) ⑨ Changing into casual clothes (10 minutes)
It's 100% worth the money and not a tourist trap. The instructor, Sumida Sensei, was very patient and carefully taught me how to handle a katana. In the end, the improvement was visible. I started as a newbie, and at the end of the class, I was able to cut a tatami mat, bringing me a great sense of achievement. Really is worth a try!
