A facility where anyone can casually experience papermaking without a reservation. The time required for the experience is about 20 to 40 minutes, and the staff will carefully explain everything from the basic knowledge of Japanese paper to the paper-making process. While learning traditional techniques, you can create your own original Japanese paper with your own design using pressed flowers, cut paper, colored water, etc., and take it home as a souvenir. In addition, a large number of Echizen Japanese paper goods that match the season and events are sold at the production area price.
