Gifu Pref. Hidashi Furukawachouichinomachi 3-12

This Japanese candle shop is about five minutes on foot from the JR Takayama Main Line Hida Furukawa Station on Ichinomachi Street, which is sometimes used as a set for TV dramas. There are very few Japanese candle shops. Founded over 240 years ago, it’s said this is the only one that makes all their products by hand. The candles are perfect vegetable based, so they don’t give off much soot and maintain a flame well. They’re also used for the traditional event known as Santera Mairi, the Three Temple Pilgrimage. The candles make popular souvenirs, and you can see them being made at the store.

住在日本快5年了一到梅雨季就特別想去泡溫泉，來下呂溫泉這是第二次了。第一次來下呂時偶然買了下呂膏，沒想到對我的風濕疼很有效果。所以這次特意去了下呂膏的本店買了膏藥。本店是個歷史悠久的老鋪，非常有歷史感，這次還買了配合草本成分的浴鹽也很贊。如果想在下呂買手信的話推薦這家店哦！

Gifu Hida-shi Kawaicho Tsunogawa 709

"This craft museum is where you can experience the traditional craft of ""Yukizarashi Sanchu Japanese paper"" in Kawai-cho, Hida City. You can enjoy experiences including papermaking and vegetable dyeing. Sanchu Japanese paper is made by exposing and bleaching ""kozo,"" the raw ingredient for Japanese paper, with snow for a characteristically light and natural color. Called ""Kozo no Yukizarashi,"" it is a traditional technique that has been handed down for close to 800 years in the area. Although it has been handed down as a farmer's winter work, the number of producers has decreased dramatically in recent years. In addition, it is possible to observe the work process by the craftsmen and the actual making of Japanese paper."

Visitors can tour the brewery year round for free, and also enjoy sake tasting (advance reservation required).

We were there before their renovation. The Manager speaks English and gave us a box full of tokens to try their free flow sake. Check the availability for their next brewery tour after renovation.
