This plan will be experienced at "NOIR CAFÉ", an atelier surrounded by plants owned by Miki Takeuchi, a lecturer of the Sanbon Oeda school of incense art and a flower designer. Many people ask about the art of incense art, and one of them is the ancient group incense called "Genjiko". In all schools, "Genjiko" is still practiced today. The design of the answer (listening name) based on the 54 plasters of the Tale of Genji is famous as "Genjiko no zu", a traditional Japanese pattern that is used in various traditional Japanese patterns such as lacquerware and kimonos. In this experience, you will be able to experience a digest of what Genjiko is like at an incense gathering, and how to listen to the scent and give an answer. Sitting upright is difficult, and incense gatherings are difficult to get into. However, this plan allows those who are interested in what Genjiko is like to fully experience it. After enjoying Genjiko, you will create your own fragrance like the aristocrats of the Heian period when the Tale of Genji was written. As the Tale of Genji also depicts fragrance-themed scenes, aristocrats would burn original fragrances in their kimonos. In this plan, you will blend your own original natural fragrances and make a sachet. The completed sachet will be placed in a special paulownia box designed and arranged by top designer Miki Takeuchi and filled with dried flowers associated with the Tale of Genji, and you can take it home as a special incense burner. After the experience, we will prepare edible incense. We will offer you medicinal tea and incense sweets. Please spend an elegant time in an extraordinary time warp for both body and mind.

Surrounded by nature at the foot of a small hill, Shunyoso shows off the graceful expressions of the four seasons that are unique to Japanese-style architecture. The owner, who is also a certified old house appraiser, will guide you through the house and explain the traditional techniques that are difficult to reproduce today, the design that highlights the playfulness of the craftsmen, and the immeasurable historical and cultural value. After the tour, Shunyoso will quickly transform into a sweets shop. Enjoy an elegant moment with tea and Japanese sweets in an elegant space. Shunyoso is a masterpiece of modern Japanese architecture that was designed in 1941 by architect Toyoen Yamamoto, an authority on the study of home orientation, based on the ideas of feng shui, and was completed over a period of seven years by local carpenter Sankichi Saito and others. Further on, in 1983, the walls, gateposts, doors and gardens were renovated by architect Izue Hiroshi, who was even called a "master" by the famous architect Kurokawa Kisho, and they now harmonize beautifully to create a magnificent architectural landscape. The vast grounds of 1320m2 (approximately 1,400m2) contain eight buildings, including the guest house, storehouse, reception hall, sleeping hall and permanent residence, and in 2004 it was designated as a nationally registered tangible cultural property, and in 2017 it was designated as an important structure for the formation of the Hyogo Prefectural Landscape. However, with the aging of the population and a social trend in recent years that only pursues efficiency, it became difficult for the previous owner to maintain and manage the buildings, and they gradually deteriorated, leading to a long period of time when the gates were closed. The turning point came in 2015. In order to preserve this precious cultural asset for future generations, the fourth-generation owner purchased it and began repairs and renovations. Finally, in October 2016, Shunyo-so was revived and reborn as a new international tourist resource for Awaji Island. In this experience program, the owner himself will guide you through the house, explaining the charms of the house, such as the traditional techniques that are difficult to reproduce today, the building materials that are also difficult to obtain today, the designs that highlight the playfulness of the craftsmen scattered throughout, and the elegant furnishings, based on the historical background of Shunyo-so.

This is a full-scale one-day training in traditional Japanese martial arts by Isao Machii, the world's best iaido master who has appeared in various media outlets and is known for his iaido technique of cutting 6mm BB bullets flying at high speed. In this experience, you will learn the structure of a sword, how to use it correctly, and deep knowledge about samurai and Japanese swords, and you will be able to master all kinds of traditional Japanese martial arts, including swordsmanship and body techniques. The martial arts you learn under Isao Machii's guidance are different from traditional martial arts that have become mere formalities. In authentic traditional Japanese martial arts, you will learn the techniques to skillfully apply the opponent's strength and toy with your opponent with slight movements. These practical techniques can be applied in everyday life and are sure to greatly change your worldview. Dress in training clothes, dispel the misunderstandings you have about samurai culture and Japanese swords, and experience true samurai culture. This will be a great opportunity for those who are looking for the real thing. ~ Flow of one-day training ~ 8:40 Meet at Nose Electric Railway's "Tada Station" and move to Tada Shrine by free shuttle. 8:50 Arrive at Tada Shrine.

The instruction will be provided by the Guinness World Record-holding modern samurai, Isao Machii himself, and his top disciples. This plan, supervised by Isao Machii, will not only teach you the kata, but also teach you samurai martial arts that can be used in real combat. Rather than focusing on the kata, the focus is on how to actually use your body and move efficiently without exerting force. This is a rare opportunity to experience authentic samurai techniques and learn truly useful martial arts. After this experience, you will have a deeper understanding of the essence of the samurai who uses a Japanese sword, and you will be able to start on the path of martial arts with confidence. *Due to the guidance of the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the National Police Agency, this plan does not provide sword-cutting instruction to anyone other than disciples.

After that, you will create a small knife under the guidance of a swordsmith who has inherited the art of making Japanese swords.
