Vast garden with a manufacturing factory of the natural cosmetics brand "RA KASUTA". 100 people a day can enjoy walk comfortably by a reservation system of limitation in the garden healed by a flower in each season, a tree and the waterside. Then "aroma Experience atelier" in the park combines the fragrance of the natural herb and fruit, and original item making is possible. For example a room sprayer chooses the favorite fragrance from more than 10 kinds of essential oil including the seasonal fragrance, and compounds it as it'll be total of 20 drops. When it's dissolved in absolute ethanol and thaw water from north Alps is added, the fragrance only of the one is finished in the world.

Please introduce a favorite fragrance to a usual life.

Replace a completed room sprayer in vessel from glass and bring it back to a label including a recipe and a date. Every time it's sprayed, a room is filled with only its fragrance. Additionally OIRUTOWARE (balm), bus oil and an aroma pendant which is easy and smells when I put it on, can be made in Experience.
I stroll through a treated garden beautifully before and behind Experience and take a rest by GAZEBO (Western-style bower) and the cafe circled by plants. A baking snack and a drink can be tasted while loving abundant green and flower at a table on the terrace of a parasol at a cafe.

A warehouse of Marukome Corp. familiar by Miso stands in Miasa high plain in Omachi-shi with the great temperature difference in about 1000 m of altitude and the day and night. The storehouse one over 2 houses makes the Miso taught by our company be matured naturally where. I go on the "homemade classroom of" Miso where Miso making can be learned (I make a reservation before an important matter.) while enjoying oneself at another storehouse. Soybeans made in Nagano-ken are filled up with a hand until it'll be like paste, and salt, Koji and seed Miso are mixed and gou is broken. One acquirement, Experience. The time if it's brought home, 1-2 months old keeps in room temperature, and when feel cold at the hot time, 4-6 months, when making them mature, it's ready to eat.

Pleasant maturity Miso, eating bout

It's an eating bout of Miso behind Experience by all means. The required time is about plus 30 minutes.

When applying together at the time of reservation for a homemade classroom of Miso, you can also participate in "eating bout classroom of Miso" for free of charge. The taste which prepares, and Miso in 2 months is the light shade, and is simple when fermented soybean paste different in duration of the fermentation is eaten and it's compared. Such as increasing in the flavor and feeling the faint sour taste when maturity advances with 2 and 3, the difference in the flavors is found. The drinking bout of miso soup with fermented soybean paste of maturity can also be made maturity for 2 years for 3 years.
Elijah who exhibited Kitaru who teaches Miso to a warehouse and monohan Elijah who sells maturity Miso by measure. You can go around comfortably because both are opened to only a participant in the classroom.

Japanese paper in the Yashiro, Omachi-shi Matsuzaki area where the one offered up to middle term and national treasure "Nishina Jin Akemiya" in the Heian Period is called a first. After that it was so that technology of making paper developed as farmer's side job and was used habitually at every region of the country as local specialty of Shinshu formerly. 3 generation eye store owner plays an active part as the only making paper craftsman at Omachi at present at this store where foundation for 90 years was met. A crowded one uses local good water richly, and likes natural plants and is the feature. "Making paper Experience" then, Japanese paper making of the gentle shade using such natural grass leaf and flower can be enjoyed.

A postcard of the Japanese paper which feels nature abundant in Omachi will be completed.

The one which can be made with a guide tour is Japanese paper with the postcard size. It's liked in an water tank with paper raw materials and it's moved to front, back, left and right including a frame first, and it's preferred while adjusting the thickness. If more than 10 kinds of plants extracted at a local mountain is arranged freely, I make an water tank pass once again, and paper is made up. Even the first time can make nice 1 with the rudiments with which a store owner is gentle. When finished goods bring it home, and stick on a windowpane of the house and make them dry naturally, finish. Additionally I have the tour with which a fan, a coaster and a candlestand can be made.

Solid building in chiku for about 130 years left for a main street in front of the Omachi Station. Dining Area which inserted the name of the village headman who continues from Muromachi era in a shop's name. "Dish Experience" is being held on Wednesday every week in order to tell charm of a food in a hometown here. How to take it the soup stock made important for a cook to tell me politely at a private kitchen by "difference" and how to make soup of noodles based on the soup stock. Though the home-grown ingredients such as Omachi specialty "freezing rice cake" and the "rape blossom oil" gathered at Nakayama high plain are used, and Omachi's food culture such as a fermented food is learned, Experience, can.

A made dish is tasted gracefully at the Japanese food table.

By the popular menu of the seasonal filling of ingredients "Mokichi table", lunch. Maine, it's different and original raw noodles "ZAZA" or black pig Rice Bowl can be chosen.
