Why not try writing characters with all your heart and soul using a large brush held in both hands, like the ones you only see on TV and in magazines? The characters you create as you run around barefoot on a piece of paper bigger than a tatami mat will be a lifelong memory! The instructor, calligrapher Mikami, has a father and mother who are also calligraphers, and has been familiar with calligraphy since childhood. Mikami is very creative and energetic. Not satisfied with ordinary calligraphy paper, he runs around freely on the large calligraphy paper with a large brush held in both hands, and the characters he creates with his whole body are soon becoming a specialty of Naganuma Town. He also performs at Naganuma Town's summer festival and sunset market, and sometimes collaborates with local musicians. This program was created not only to show people this fun, but also to let them experience it. Participants are first surprised by the weight of the brush filled with ink, and are very satisfied with the characters they write with all their heart, sweating. The written characters take time to dry, and there are limitations on where you can hang them. You may only be asked to take a photo in front of the work. If you would like to take the work home with you, please contact us in advance, although we may not be able to accommodate your request.

She is a real calligrapher who has exhibited at numerous exhibitions, but she is a wonderful person (and a big eater) who is not at all pretentious. She is a popular big sister in Naganuma! Your T-shirt is sure to become one of your favorites!

Naganuma Town, an hour's drive from Sapporo, produces beautiful flowers. Why not try to be soothed by flowers in Naganuma Town? With the advice of an instructor, you can freely arrange seasonal flowers from the surrounding area in a special box set with absorbent sponges. It's fun! Naganuma Town is famous for its rice and vegetable production, but in fact there are many wonderful flower producers. So Maoi, a flower shop that fell in love with the flowers of Naganuma Town, moved from Sapporo to the town. Their outstanding flower arranging sense has attracted the attention of various industries, and they were even entrusted with the flowers for the opening of a certain luxury hotel on the shores of Lake Shikotsu that recently opened. The shop is always full of fresh flowers. When you order a bouquet, they will ask you, "Who is this for?" and arrange it to suit the recipient and the image of the sender. As they fell in love with the flowers of Naganuma, they have built strong relationships with local flower farmers. There are many flowers that are only grown in Naganuma. In the box flower making experience, you can freely arrange seasonal flowers in the specially prepared box, and learn the tricks of flower arranging and the rules for arranging beautifully. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask the friendly instructor. The boxed flower arrangement you made will surely be a very welcome item to display in your home or give as a gift!

We will pick you up at the place specified by the customer in Asahikawa city. Asahidake, the highest peak in Hokkaido, is a plan where you can fully enjoy the earliest autumn colors in Japan, which is said to be the garden of the gods. It begins to color in early September and is said to be in full bloom until mid-October. Autumn leaves start from the upper ridge and gradually descend to the foot of the mountain, so you can enjoy the contrast between the volcanic wildness of Mt. Asahidake and the autumn leaves spreading at the foot of the mountain. The Asahidake Ropeway is the only ropeway in Japan that operates beyond the forest limits. If you take the 10-minute ropeway and get off at Sugatami Station, there is a walking course where you can easily enjoy the scenery and alpine plants even if you do not have physical strength or knowledge of mountain climbing, and we recommend the Sugatami Pond Tour Course. Higashikawa Town, where Asahidake is located, is dotted with many cafes that look great on Instagram. You can also take a rest at your favorite cafe after getting tired from the autumn leaves tour.
