    Niigata Murakami-shi Yamakumata 325
    This activity center is in Yamakumada hamlet, near the Yamagata prefecture border. You can try out nariwai, traditional local industries. Inside, they carry on the 1,200 year tradition of weaving shina-nuno, cloth made from the bark of Japanese linden trees, offering an up-close taste of the history and attraction of this ancient fabric. In addition to actual hand-woven shina-nuno, they also offer a chance to try craft industries like Akusasamaki, a method of wrapping rice in golden bamboo leaves treated with lye that is unique to this area (reservations required for all activities).
  • Yamagami Dyeworks Shop
    Travel / Tourism
    Nigata Pref. Murakamishi Sakanamachi 2-17
    Yamagami Dyeworks Shop is a venerable establishment, dating back to the middle of the Edo period (1615–1867), located in the Sakana-machi of Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. Their main business is manufacturing and selling made-to-order dyed goods for businesses with trademarks or family crests on items such as noren curtains or happi coats. Its distinctive, subdued vegetables dyes, Hokugen-no-cha-zome, made with special locally produced Murakami tea are especially attractive with shibumi taste (austere elegance) . In the storefront, customers can choose from the hand towels, handkerchiefs, bath towels, and other goods displayed there, and, if they make reservations ahead of time, they can even try dyeing cloth with tea. They can also tour the machiya townhouse, a Tangible Cultural Property, where the business is located.
