It is an experience of making oyaki at Kayabuki no Yakata, an inn in the valley of Shinshu. What is "oyaki"? What is it for non-Shinshu people? I'm feeling? Oyaki is made by dissolving wheat flour in water, kneading it, and wrapping bean paste made from red beans and vegetables. To put it plainly, is it a bun? ?? This is made all over Nagano prefecture, and the taste varies depending on the shop and home. At Kayabuki no Yakata, the surface is lightly baked by steaming. The skin and the bean paste inside are all handmade! It will be an experience of making such Shinshu soul food "Oyaki" with a local mother. In Shinshu, people of all ages are enjoying themselves. Rest assured that a local veteran mom will teach you carefully! If you come to Shinshu, please try this Shinshu soul food "Oyaki" first!

Choose the wood and length, and use a plane to create your own chopsticks! You can also make octagonal chopsticks using a plane stand invented by a craftsman. A full-fledged handmade experience. Painted so you can use them for a long time! An experience that can only be experienced here in the country! [Reservation required] Experience in the nature-rich Shinshu Azumino, where water, light, wind, and sky shine. ★If you would like to make a reservation on the day or if you would like to do it alone, please contact us by phone. The experience will be held in a home workshop. When you enter the room, the scent of wood drifts... that alone relaxes your mind! Concentrating on making chopsticks and creating something will refresh your mind and body! The fresh air, water, and light of Azumino will satisfy your five senses. You can experience this from the third grade of elementary school! (For elementary school students, cypress wood is recommended, and mountain cherry wood is hard, so in most cases it cannot be cut at all. Children younger than that should be watched by a parent) Planing from a square timber!? You may think it's difficult, but... a craftsman will carefully teach you how to use a plane. 13 years of chopstick making experience. We have experienced this with over 13,000 people so far, and everyone has made their own chopsticks. Among the 10,000 people, there are famous celebrities and announcers (*^-^*) ~ Flow of the day ~ 1. "Decide on the wood and length." Decide on the material of the chopsticks and the length of the chopsticks. 2. "Explanation of the process ~ Start by being taught how to use a plane ~" Planes vary depending on the user! The length of time it takes to carve them varies depending on the individual's stance. Therefore, the time spent on chopstick making varies depending on each customer! 3. Process 1. Make the chopsticks a comfortable thickness 2. Scrape off the corners 3. Polish with sandpaper 4. Add the name with a hot pen 5. We take them in and paint them.

Experience making your own kaleidoscope at the Zenkoji Temple lodgings! Create your own object with a simple kit! Choose your favorite kaleidoscope and fill it with your favorite ingredients to complete it. You can use natural stones or flowers from Shinshu as ingredients. If you fill it with oil and keep the flower shape as it is like a herbarium, you can make a herbarium kaleidoscope, or you can make a higher-grade kaleidoscope with the gentle colors and light of natural stones. Galerie Ren is located inside Hakurenbo, the lodgings of Zenkoji Temple. Create fun memories with this hands-on experience while visiting Zenkoji Temple.
