Shiozawa tsumugi kimonos were created by applying the techniques of Hon Shiozawa, which has a delicate grain and smooth texture and is designated as a traditional Japanese craft, and Echigo Jofu, which is designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. It's an experience where you can actually wear it, rather than just looking at it. Wearing a kimono, you can stroll along Makino-dori Street, where the streets of Shiozawa-juku on the Mikuni Kaido remain. <Please contact us> - If you have difficulty speaking Japanese, we can provide an interpreter (for a fee).・Original plans such as lunch included are also available.

[Enjoy the local flavor] "Anbo" is a steamed dumpling made by wrapping Nozawana or red bean paste in a skin made from rice flour. It is a local dish in the Chuetsu region of Niigata Prefecture and northern Nagano Prefecture, and is eaten as a staple food or snack. It is said that it was originally made by processing broken rice in the past, and is also part of Japan's MOTTAINAI culture. Nowadays, delicious "anbo" is made using "Koshihikari rice from Uonuma." You can make it together with local mothers while learning from them, so even beginners can feel at ease. If you have difficulty speaking Japanese, our staff will assist you with Google Translate, etc.
