Experience through the traditional industry in Miyajima!

As you know that there are traditional industries all over Japan, Miyajima also has its own traditional industry.

Wouldn't you also like to experience by yourself more than just see the products of traditional industries?
Please come visit "Miyajima Traditional Crafts Center"!


Miyajima Carving Experience

This is an experience that you can carve the drawing that represents Miyajima on the wooden obon -tray-.
Traditional craftsman who has been making prestigious souvenirs will teach you friendly.
You can also see his work at "Miyajimarine" (Miyajima public Aquarium).


Maple Buns Making Experience

Maple bun, which we call Momiji manju, has actually been made since 1906 and is very popular sweets. 
It is maple shaped and contains sweet red bean paste inside the cake bun.
When you walk around the town of Miyajima, you can see the maple buns being made by automatic mold machines here and there.
But here, you experience baking maple buns by rotating the mold machine one by one.
Bake your own maple buns while feeling the weight of the mold machine and the nice smell of baking.
Freshly baked maple buns are exceptionally delicious!

Rice Scoop Making Experience

Speaking of Rice Scoop, why do you think you see Rice Scoop all over Miyajima?

In Miyajima, where the island itself is the sacred object of worship, it was impossible to farm.
About 200 years ago, one of monks in Miyajima wondered if there were any industry possible there; one day, Benzaiten, one of the Japanese goddesses, appeared in a dream, and the monk noticed her holding a musical instrument called Biwa. (Biwa is an instrument that looks like a Mandolin.)

When he made a Rice Scoop that resembled the shape of a biwa from Miyajima wood, it became popular as a lucky charm, and making the Rice Scoop became a major industry in Miyajima.

In this experience, the wooden Rice Scoop itself is already shaped, so after polishing it, you will use various shaped branding irons and add original patterns it.
Why don't you make your original lucky charm for your trip memory?

One of the oldest Onsen -hot spring- in Japan: Dogo Onsen (Matsuyama, Ehime)

Dogo Onsen, said to be the oldest hot spring in Japan, can be reached in about two hours from Hiroshima Port by high-speed ship and bus . If you take a ferry and a bus, it takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes; some of the ferry services are operated by a comfortable ferry called "SEA PASEO". It carries you to Ehime Prefecture in the Shikoku Region as if you were enjoying the wide Setonaikai (=Seto Inland Sea) National Park from a park on a ship. There is a space where you can lie down and relax, and also a space where you can enjoy chatting like in a café. (Café is not operated.) If you have enough time, I would recommend you to take ferry.
