Overview of your Nagoya tour:

Arimatsu, a town of tie-dyeing was designated Japan Heritage in 2019. You will be fascinated with this old town where traditional buildings are well maintained. Just 20 minute-train-ride from Nagoya station will take you to Arimatsu. Let's visit Arimatsu and Narumi Shibori Museum where you will see masterpieces of tie-dyeing. You will also watch local shibori craftswomen demonstrate several techniques of tie-dyeing. They are happy to talk about their own experience. Your next destination is the small museum of festive floats where one out of the three different floats is showcased on a regular basis. Lunch at a popular Japanese noodle house might be a good idea. Let's stroll along the old main street and pop in some traditional merchants houses after lunch. What is so unique about this tour is that you can make your own "shibori" handkerchief or stroll at a workshop. Children and men will also find it quite exciting to attend. I will make a reservation for shibori experience at one of the studios.
