Visit Komatsu's only remaining clover and experience stone processing! Takigahara-cho, Komatsu City is the production area of Takigahara stone, which has a beautiful blue-gray color. Komatsu City's numerous stone quarries (choba) with a history of over 100 years and arch bridges made entirely of stone are a major reason why Komatsu City has been designated as a Japanese heritage site for its stone culture. Ishizai Aratani Shoten is a stone shop that currently manages the only active stone quarry in Takigahara, where there were once many stone quarries. In this program, under the guidance of Mr. Shuichiro Funatsu, a geoguide who is familiar with the Takigahara area, and Mr. Yuki Araya, the owner of Ishizai Araya Shoten, we will tour the traditional arch bridges around the stone quarry and the inside of the quarry, while visiting Komatsu. You can see, learn about, and experience stone culture and history. Experience the beauty and functionality of Takigahara stone as a material that is used in a variety of places, from ancient tombs and grave sites to bridges, home entrances, and stylish cafes. *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be provided in Japanese only.

以前から気になっていた滝ケ原の石切り場を見たいと思っていました。実際に参加してみて良かったです。案内して下さった方の説明もわかりやすく面白かったです。場所によってはうす暗い所もありライトを持って行けば良かったなと思いました。
