Details of the experience

Pick up your commemorative gift voucher and free coffee voucher at the reception, and head to the experience workshop!
Learn about indigo dyeing and how to create patterns from the instructor. As you imagine the design, attach clothespins and rubber bands to your fabric. I wonder what kind of pattern it will make♪
Put on your rubber boots, apron, and gloves, and get ready for indigo dyeing!
Carefully and slowly immerse your fabric in the indigo, rinse it in water, then dip it back into the indigo... Repeat the process several times. Watching the fabric gradually change color is so much fun!
After repeating the process several times, remove the patterning tools and soak the fabric in vinegar water before rinsing it with clean water.
While your handkerchief dries, feel free to browse the indigo-dyed products at the shop, or relax with a coffee at the historic townhouse, which has been home to an indigo dyeing business since the Edo period, using your free coffee voucher!
The handkerchief is dry! Wonder if the pattern turned out just as imagined♪
Fold it neatly, place it in a bag, and it's all done!
