Travel inland to the Tango region, known for its long-standing traditions and skilled craftsmanship.
Your first stop is at the Tango Open Center, where you will learn about the traditional Tango chirimen (silk) textile that is unique to this region. Distinguished by its delicate crepe texture and elegant sheen, Tango silk has been used for high-quality Japanese garments for centuries. Exhibits introduce the production process and showcase a wide range of textile products, offering insight into techniques dating back to the Edo period and passed down through generations of artisans.
The Yosamusume Sake Brewery boasts craftsmanship rooted in Tango's natural environment. Using locally grown rice and pure water, master brewers carefully craft sake using traditional methods. The emphasis is on quality and regional character. Take part in a guided brewery tour and a sake tasting. Experience a flavor profile that reflects Tango's climate, water, and ingredients, while learning about the role of sake in local culture and daily life.
Notes:
Tour requires more than 30 minutes of walking and standing. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. You must remove your shoes at one or more location(s). Tour sequence may vary. Bring local currency or credit cards, as most vendors do not accept US dollars. Unfamiliar accents can be challenging; feel free to ask your guide to repeat or elaborate on information, and to speak more slowly so you can fully comprehend and converse.
