Soft and fragrant "Kyoto It is a set of chopstick making of the famous wood Kitayama cedar "and a cupboard making of Yuzen that dyes a pattern using a pattern. Every time the wood is squeezed lightly, a faint scent spreads around. Why don't you try to make chopsticks in one room of Kyomachiya where such air flows?

If you want to fully enjoy Wazuka, the home of tea, we recommend the tea picking experience! Wazuka Town cultivates so many tea leaves that it is called the origin of tea, and even today it is a production area that produces just under 40% of Uji tea. At Wazukaya, the "Tea Soba Making Experience" using "Wazuka Tea" is very popular, but if you are going to make Cha Soba, why not try picking the tea yourself? At the Wazuka tea plantation, we offer a Wazuka tea picking experience from March to November. The set includes tea picking experience, tea soba noodles, and tea leaf tempura making experience. You can enjoy the finished dish on the spot. Also, it takes about 30 minutes to get to Nara Park from Wazuka Town, so you can make plans that also include sightseeing in Nara.
盛りだくさんなプラン内容、親切で親しみやすいスタッフの皆様の対応のおかげで、予想より遥かに充実感のある楽しい一日になりました。そのためこのアクティビティ自体は友人にもおすすめしたいです。ただ、ここのサイトで予約するのはあまりおすすめできません。 理由は、予約リクエスト送信後こちらから問合せない限り予約が確定されない、サイト上で予約時間を確認できない、問合せフォームへの返信は必ずいただけるわけではない、などです。

茶摘み体験を予約しましたが,前のグループの到着が遅く,予約時間より25分遅れて出発しました。1時間程の体験と聞いていましたが,茶畑まで徒歩なので,移動に時間がかかり,正味の体験時間は少なく,私のグループはショートカットされた感じでした。それでも,その後に予定を入れていた方は時間変更をしていましたので,余裕を持って,予定を組んだ方が良いと思います。周りの景色も良く茶摘み自体は楽しかったですが,良くも悪くものんびりしています。お店の茶そばは美味しかったです。

This is a quiet urban pottery class in the heart of Osaka. You can use an electric potter's wheel to shape your vessels. The appeal of DOMU's experience class is that you can experience everything from kneading the clay to creating the shape. Whether it's your first time, your second time, or you have experience, we are waiting for anyone who wants to try pottery. You are welcome to come alone, or bring your loved one, a close friend, or your precious family, and create memories together. Our veteran instructors will help you with your artistic activities. Let's have a great time.
Kana was an amazing instructor with great patience and encouragement. She thoroughly showed the ropes of kneading the clay with 'flower' shaping as prep; wheeling to further prep the clay by 'killing' it before giving it life with your creation/expression. Simply put, she showed a firsthand demo overlayed with explanations behind the underlying philosophical concepts. I really enjoyed her teaching and she was very encouraging through all my failures. Highly recommend it for first-timers, solos, couples, friends, fam, and all ages - so much fun!

小3の子どもと母の二人での体験。 ギャラリーの奥にあるスペースで道具を使って枯山水を楽しんだあと、お抹茶とお菓子をいただきました。枯山水は、石のかわりに色とりどりで大きさもさまざまな器を置いて楽しみます。これといった決まりはなく、自由に楽しんでとのことだったので、子どもも夢中で庭づくりに励んでいました。 お抹茶は、自分の好きな器を選んで点ててもらえます。子どもは興味津々でいろいろ質問していたのですが、スタッフの方が丁寧に答えてくださいました。 枯山水スペースは中庭のような感じで、屋根ですべて覆われているわけではありません。白砂のまわりに腰掛けるところがあり、ブランケットなどもおいてあります。トイレや手洗い場もあります。 滞在時間は30分ほどでしたが子どもはとても楽しかったようで、親も京都観光で歩き疲れた足を休めるのにちょうどよかったです。 また違った季節にも行ってみたいです。

This was a great class. Kaori was a great teacher and we had plenty of time to practice our brush strokes before doing our final product. She also went through some of the history of writing styles. Great experience and would highly recommend this class. Kaori also premade some writings with our names before we got there on a small piece of wood and on paper in 3 different styles.
