Mino City, located in the southern part of Gifu Prefecture, is a lovely town just a short bus ride away from Gifu City. It has its own rich history of art and craftsmanship such as “washi” Japanese paper. During the Edo era (1603 – 1868) and Meiji era (1868 – 1912), Mino was a prosperous merchant town mainly based in washi paper production and trading. To protect the houses from fire, the rich merchants installed Udatsu (a firewall built at the end of a roof) to their roofs.
Nowadays you can see the Udatsu-lined streets in the heart of the city, bathing in the warm glow of paper lanterns made of Mino Washi.
On this one day activity, you will learn homemade Japanese food in one of the merchant’s old houses while relaxing in a private atmosphere.
Gain a deeper understanding of Japanese history and culture, and eat lunch with coordinating a table using antique tableware that has been used for 100 years. Are you ready to learn how to prepare a healthy lunch using fresh local ingredients?
Enjoy spending quality time while enjoying Japanese food!
