Choose the wood and length and carve your own chopsticks with a plane! You can also make octagonal chopsticks using a plane stand invented by a craftsman. A full-fledged handmade experience. Comes with paint so you can use it for a long time! An experience that can only be experienced here in the country! [Reservation required] Experience in the nature-rich Shinshu Azumino, where water, light, wind, and sky shine. ★Please contact us by phone if you would like to make a reservation on the day or if you would like to participate alone. Up to 15 people can experience in the workshop. For more than that, we can rent a city conference room and hold a group chopstick making experience, so please contact us by phone for details. The experience will be held in a home workshop. When you enter the room, the scent of wood fills the air... that alone will relax your mind! Concentrating on making chopsticks will refresh your mind and body! The fresh air, water, and light of Azumino will satisfy your five senses. Children from the third grade of elementary school can experience this! (For elementary school students, cypress wood is recommended, but Yamazakura wood is hard, so in most cases it cannot be shaved at all. Children younger than that should be watched by a parent or guardian.) Planing from a square piece of wood!? It may seem difficult, but our craftsmen will carefully teach you how to use the plane. We have been making chopsticks for 13 years. We have made chopsticks with over 13,000 people so far. Among the 10,000 people, there are famous celebrities and announcers (*^-^*) ~ Flow of the day ~ ① "Decide the wood and length." Decide the material of the chopsticks and the length of the chopsticks. ② "Explanation of the process ~ Start by being taught how to use the plane ~" Planes vary depending on the user! The amount of time it takes to shave varies depending on the individual's stance. Therefore, the time spent on chopstick making varies depending on each customer! ③ Process 1. Make the chopsticks thick enough to be easy to use 2. Shave off the corners 3. Polish with sandpaper 4. Add the name with a hot pen 5. We take them in and paint them.

This is a limited-time special plan for 2024, and is a small-group tour limited to a maximum of 5 people! Aren't you worried about planning an outdoor activity that might tire you out on your precious day off? If you are worried that mountain biking is not for you, or that cycling is not physically viable, we recommend this special experience plan! Unlike regular tours, there is no climbing. (You just go down) As you can see in the picture, you will be riding a mountain bike through a "real forest" that you can't experience on other tours, so even those who are not physically fit can rest assured. The time includes a simple explanation of how to ride and preparations before departure, so the actual riding time is about 1 hour from the time of gathering to the time of returning, and it will be completed within 2 hours (if everything goes smoothly, it will be about 1 hour and 45 minutes). Moreover, the rental set is free, so you can experience MTB empty-handed! Also, this plan is a fully private reservation. This is a special plan for this year only, with limited numbers and numbers, because this tour is a bargain at this time of year. Unlike other tours, you will not be joining with other customers, so you can enjoy it at your own pace! *Please note* (If a child under 140cm tall is participating, we do not have a bicycle that is suitable for the course, so you will need to bring a bicycle that you are used to riding. For this plan, rentals start from XS size 26 inches. (Anyone with a height of about 140cm can ride it, and even people around 135cm can ride it if they are used to riding bicycles.) *There are no rental bicycles under 26 inches. This is because it is difficult to ride a bicycle with small tires in a real forest. *In addition, "being able to stand on the pedals" and "being able to brake by holding the brake lever with your hand" are also guidelines for participating in the tour safely. However, even if you do not meet these conditions, if you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact us! We will consult with you as much as possible! If you have the desire, we can do something! Maybe?! Maybe^^

Many people are surprised that general snowshoe tours are more physically taxing than they expected, so we thought, "Can we have a more casual and easy way to experience a snowy forest?" From that point of view, we developed a plan that does not involve climbing, is not physically taxing, feels like a walk, and is a short plan to "experience a real snowy forest" (I know that sounds a bit exaggerated, lol). The time is quite leisurely and can be completed within 1.5 hours (adults who walk fast can finish in about an hour). Although it is a walk-like time and distance, you will experience a real and authentic forest. You can enjoy a short time of trekking in a real forest while taking photos. *Please note* Since you will be walking in snow, please wear shoes that can walk in snow. (You can't walk in snow in normal shoes) I think the easiest way to move around is to wear ski wear and rubber boots (please see the participants' photos). Rubber boots that don't make your toes cold (you can wear them as is, but it will be more comfortable if you put in warm insoles, even simple ones sold at 100 yen stores. It is also better if the boots are long so that snow doesn't get in. If the snow is quite deep, we will rent snowshoes for free, so I think it would be best to participate in snow boots or rubber boots.) Also, if you have your own snowshoes or poles, it will be "even" more comfortable if you bring them. (Of course, it's okay if you don't)
