Thatching experience
The Highlight
- You can actually experience thatching a thatched roof! You use straw materials and the tools that the craftsmen actually use to thatch the roof. You will have a sense of accomplishment in thatching the roof with the feeling of becoming a craftsman. You can enjoy the experience while experiencing the division of roles that you actually do when you thatch the roof. The mood of the craftsmen is at its peak with the final certificate of completion of the experience and a commemorative photo.
- The original thatched roof book is amazing! The carefully crafted original thatched roof book is a special book in which every page is supervised by a thatched roof craftsman, and the thatched roof as it is and all of the craftsmen are tightly packed together. It has a fun finish that you will want to see again and again after the experience.
- A craftsman who wears Happi and Tenugui! It is a memorable experience. During the experience, you will feel more like a craftsman with the original Happi and Tenugui. The original Tenugui is a present to commemorate the experience. Please take a lot of pictures!
