About this event
The Former Asakura Family Residence in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a large thatched-roof private residence built approximately 300 years ago, designated as a prefectural cultural property as a mid-Edo period three-room sericulture farmhouse. Silkworms were once raised inside the house, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of those days. In this special opening, in addition to touring the interior of the building, various workshops are held, such as hands-on experiences related to sericulture and silk spinning, and storytelling sessions about old lifestyles and seasons. Held on the third Saturday of every month from April through November, it is a valuable opportunity to casually experience the lifestyle of sericulture farmhouses of that era. Only on October 17, the opening hours are extended until 3:00 PM. No advance registration is required and participation is free, making it easy for anyone to join.
