Did you know that Yuki-tsumugi, a traditional craft from Yuki City in Ibaraki, is one of Japan's oldest silk-weaving traditions?

Refined over more than 2,000 years, this technique still relies on silk threads spun entirely by hand. Known for its soft texture, lightweight feel, and exceptional durability, Yuki-tsumugi is used to create high-quality kimonos and other traditional garments.

This remarkable craft is so unique that it has been inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list!

One of the best places to experience Yuki-tsumugi is Tsumugi no Yakata. Established by a local wholesaler with more than 100 years of history, the facility features museum exhibits introducing the craft, an on-site shop selling handmade items such as shawls, wallets, and accessories, and workshops where visitors can make their own Yuki-tsumugi coaster as a unique souvenir.

Enjoy a luxurious teatime with premium hand-rolled tea leaves🍃

In Japan, we cherish quiet moments with a cup of green tea 🍵

Many people feel relaxed when drinking tea because green tea naturally contains calming effects.

In the beautiful tea-producing town of Daigo, you can experience the traditional Japanese tea-making method called temomi - carefully hand-rolling tea leaves.

During the experience, you will learn each step of the hand-rolling process from a master tea artisan who won first place in Japan at a national hand-rolled tea competition✨

From picking fresh tea leaves to steaming, rolling, and drying them, every step of the process is done entirely by hand.

Tea made through hand-rolling has a fresher sweetness with less bitterness and astringency compared to machine-processed tea leaves🍃

The time spent enjoying sweets together with the tea you rolled yourself feels truly special.

If you would like to experience a peaceful side of Japan surrounded by beautiful greenery, come visit Daigo and discover the charm of traditional Japanese tea culture. 🍵

📍Okukuji Chanosato Park, Daigo town, Ibaraki
＊Tea hand-rolling workshops are held on an irregular basis.
