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.
