Touch the roots of Japanese hospitality through traditional woven craft.
The historic Kurashiki Bikan Quarter is not just a beautiful place to walk—it is a living hub of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. In this hands-on workshop, you can create your very own souvenir by weaving a customized coaster using native Igusa (rush grass), the natural aromatic material used to make traditional tatami mats.
Guided by a welcoming local expert, relax in a charming atmosphere filled with the fresh, soothing scent of nature, and craft a lasting memory of your journey.
