About 20 minutes by car from Kanazawa Station. Head east on Route 159 from Naruwa towards Higashichoe IC. Head further east on Route 210, turn right at Makimachi, go through the Tsurube Tunnel and head to Tsurube Satoyama. Experience the local treasure "Rice Field Dyeing" that has been passed down in the Tsurube village where the legend of Kagekiyo remains. Dye your own original pattern using the tie-dye technique. The history of this rice field dyeing is recorded as "Kaga Black Dyeing" during the feudal period. Harvest the Akamekashiwa and Yamaurushi plants that grow wild in Tsurube, and soak the cloth in the boiled dye liquid for several tens of minutes. After that, put it in the rice field and knead it well... You can enjoy the feeling of dipping your hands and feet in spring water and rice field. Using the tie-dye technique, fold the cloth and tie it with string to imagine your own pattern, and look forward to the finished product. A beautiful gray dye is completed. Then, go out and explore the surrounding area and enjoy your discoveries. For lunch, make rice balls using the rice cooked in the pot and enjoy them while looking at the nature! A light meal is included. The work you make will be completed on the same day and you can take it home.
