About this event
At Tonomine Highlands in Kamikawa Town, Hyogo Prefecture, the "Tonomine Highlands Japanese Pampas Grass Thatching Experience Event" will be held to preserve the beautiful scenery of the susuki grassland for future generations. At this location, known as a filming site for movies and TV dramas, you can experience traditional thatch harvesting. By actually harvesting the kaya grass once used for thatched roofs, you can connect with traditional lifestyle and Japanese heritage. While exercising outdoors and rediscovering the charms of Tonomine Highlands, first-time harvesters are also warmly welcomed. Participating with family and friends will surely create special memories. Participants will receive a Kamin towel as a gift, and a serving of hot tonjiru (pork miso soup) is scheduled for the day.
