Visit a beautiful countryside village just an hour outside of the bustle of Kyoto city. Kurotani is famous for having been making washi paper by hand for over 800 years. The traditional paper is made using fibers of the kozo plant, also referred to as the paper mulberry, and uses techniques unique to the region. Learn to make this paper for yourself from the locals of Kurotani. Experience their customs firsthand as you relax in the village and enjoy this paper making workshop led by a local artisan. You’ll even get to take a tour of the paper making facilities. After finishing your tour head out to make some delicious Japanese mochi. The chewy rice cakes are a famous Japanese dish made from pounding rice with traditional mallets. Use your own two hands and a big hammer to make your own mochi then enjoy the fruits of your labors with the locals. Experience a wonderful side of Japan that is a bit more off of the tourist tread paths.
