The weaving experience, kindly taught me how to weave and I was able to create a good piece of work. It is a pleasant memory.
On a separate day from weaving We also had a mud-dyeing experience! I learned how to do it like this, I was able to learn how to do this, and it was a truly unique and personal work of art. It was a wonderful memory for me. The staff were very attentive and taught me how to do the work. I was able to work with ease. I was thrilled when I removed the elastic and other parts! I was also thrilled with the pattern that was accidentally created! I would love to participate again! Thank you very much for the hands-on experience!

I had some time before my flight home, so I tried on Oshima silk. I was glad that I did not need to bring anything and could have a quick experience! I could actually feel the elegant texture of the kimono, which was a very valuable experience. I was very satisfied with the accessibility from the airport and the efficient use of my time!
We changed our plans due to bad weather and joined this experience, but it was a great decision! I was able to enjoy the experience indoors, so it was not affected by the weather. The Oshima silk was lighter and more comfortable than I had expected, and the patterns were very beautiful. I also had my picture taken, which was a wonderful souvenir of my trip. If you visit Amami, I highly recommend this experience!
As a memory of our family trip, we tried on Oshima tsumugi silk! There were sizes for babies, so the whole family was able to wear matching tsumugi and take pictures together... It was easy to put on over clothes, so even the little ones could enjoy it without strain. The staff was very kind and we had a wonderful time!
