Environmentally Friendly Experience
Hand-forming pottery experience
At Pottery Studio Fudo, you can make pottery by hand. The method of hand-forming is to roll the clay into a thin stick and layer it to create a shape. Cheaply mass-produced tableware is not taken care of and tends to be thrown away, but if you experience making things, you will understand that it takes a lot of process to make a single bowl. Above all, I feel attached to things that I have made myself, and I want to use them carefully.
Walking around the townscape preservation district
Takehara is known as "Aki's Little Kyoto" because of its history of prospering as a manor of Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto during the Heian period. The symbol of this is the Townscape Preservation District, which has been selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the government. The old townscape is made of local wood and soil to match nature and its climate. We all know that wooden construction emits less CO2 during manufacturing, but continuing to recycle the house is truly sustainable. The warmth of nature and the beauty of its history can be found here.
Japanese cafe special snack set
Saryo Ichie is a Japanese style café that was built over 100 years ago and was inherited from our ancestors.
Once you pass through the historic samurai residence-style gate, you will be greeted by Japanese sweets made mainly from plant-based ingredients that will soothe your mind and body. The special snack set is a special menu that you can enjoy only with the bamboo tour set with a drink. Only at Bantu can you enjoy it in the VIP room on the second floor, which is usually not open to the public. Takehara coffee, salt candy, and karinto produced by Saryo Ichie are perfect for souvenirs.
