Authentic UNESCO Heritage Experience: This is one of the few places in Japan here you can experience the full cycle of Yuki Tsumugi production, a craft so rare it is protected by UNESCO.

From Cocoon to Loom: You don't just weave; you start from the very beginning by extracting thread from the cocoon, giving you a profound appreciation for the material.

Artisan Observation: Gain exclusive access to watch master craftspeople at work. Seeing their focus and skill firsthand provides context and inspiration for your own weaving session.

Take Home a Piece of History: The coaster you weave is made of genuine silk and serves as a functional piece of art and a lasting memory of your visit to Ibaraki.

Step into the world of Yuki Tsumugi, a legendary silk-weaving technique recogniz
ed by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. This immersive activity at "Tsumugi-no-Yakata" (Okujun) offers more than just a souvenir; it provides a deep dive into 2,000 years of Japanese history. Your journey begins with an expert-led tour, where you’ll learn the meticulous background of Yuki Tsumugi. You will then experience the "te-tsumugi" (hand-spinning) process—the hallmark of this craft—where you will pull delicate silk threads directly from a cocoon. After mastering the thread, you will move to a traditional floor loom. Under the guidance of skilled artisans, you will weave your very own silk coaster using authentic hand-spun yarn. Before you start weaving, enjoy a rare opportunity to observe professional weavers at work, witnessing the incredible rhythm and precision required for this craft. After completing your masterpiece, explore the museum and boutique for unique silk gifts. Located in the historic town of Yuki, this activity is a must for textile lovers and those seeking an authentic Japanese cultural connection.
