It’s a really interesting place with a slightly nostalgic feel! You can try making washi by hand, from scooping the pulp to decorating it and drying it. The whole process is a lot of fun. The staff are very kind and guide you step by step, so even first-timers won’t feel nervous. You can take the washi you make home as a souvenir, which feels really rewarding. There are also displays of traditional papermaking tools and historical information, and the atmosphere is relaxing and full of Japanese charm. It’s a great spot for anyone who likes crafts or wants to experience traditional Japanese culture!

Sagamiko MORI MORI
Situated on a scenic hillside overlooking Lake Sagami and surrounded by lush nature, Sagamiko MORI MORI is an expansive adventure resort spanning approximately 1.5 million square meters. The property is home to adventure courses, amusement park attractions, BBQ areas, and campsites so you can drop in for a day of fun.
If you're tired from playing, you can relax at Sagamiko Onsen URURI. It's so soothing, you'll just want to lie down and do nothing. Totally healing!

Nagusa Megaliths
Ashikaga is a city with abundant nature where numerous historical temples and shrines remain. Besides those found in the city center, you will find cultural treasures that are a little different from the ordinary, if you head out to the suburbs.
This place gives you a sense of some mysterious power beyond the natural world.

Marugami Waterfall
The famed Marugami Waterfall, located in Ogano, Saitama, was selected as one of 100 Best Waterfalls in Japan. The waterfall is actually separated into 3 different levels, each offering a unique shape and beauty to enjoy on its own.
Getting to the waterfall is honestly pretty inconvenient—it took a long time on the bus, and there weren't many people along the way. I followed the signs and finally reached the falls. The journey is a bit long, but the scenery is quite nice.
