What to expect

While learning about the mechanism and history of thatch roofing, you can experience it safely on an actual roof built above the ground. It's a covered experience, so it's OK even in rainy weather. Even children can experience it. You can fully experience the work of a thatched roof craftsman in a condensed two-hour period. At the end of the experience, we will take a commemorative photo and give you a certificate of completion. This is an experience that allows you to get closer to the thatched roofs that you have seen as a landscape in the countryside. As a memento of your stay, why not experience the traditional techniques of thatched roof craftsmen, which have been designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage?
