Travel Itinerary
The outermost rough threads of cocoons made by silkworms were difficult to use and were thrown away. In order not to waste the cocoons, we focused on the "cecilin," a skin beautifying ingredient contained in these parts, and developed body towels.
In this experience, you can make your own original body towel by weaving it with your own hands. No special skills are required, and even beginners can feel at ease as the artisans carefully teach them.
Above all, the interaction with the artisans, who are full of hospitality, will be heartwarming, transcending language barriers.View Location
