I really enjoyed the hands-on experience with the masks and drums, being told to go slowly, and being told not to touch the face of the masks; in order to preserve them.

GRAND NIKKO AWAJI Tea ceremony workshop
Awaji Yumebutai is a cultural resort complex surrounded by the ocean and abundant nature. At one corner of the complex is a tearoom designed by world class architect Tadao Ando where you can experience the world of the tea ceremony. How would you like to experience authentic tea ceremony practices while learning about the history of the art?
I liked the explanations by the older silver-haired gentleman whose name I forgot. I also enjoyed the explanation of the different teas and different sweets.

Azalee Hot Spring Experience
Takedao Onsen is easily accessible by car or train from the city centers of Osaka and Kobe. Koyokan Bettei Azalee is the only lodging facility in the hot springs area. Enjoy the healing, traditional Japanese experience of relaxing in a rich natural environment surrounded by mountains and fascinating scenery that changes with the seasons.
The dinner was lovely, the rotemburo was great, I really enjoyed the stone bath in our private rooms. Also, the beds was cozy, as was your tatami room.

Thatch Roof Fuki-kae Experience
The thatch roofs of Miyama are characterized by soft rounded curves and a beautiful and even configuration that extends to the edge. It is necessary to do a "fuki-kae" to replace the "kaya" of the roof once every 20 years. Experience the Satoyama lifestyle through the "fuki-kae" process that is filled with the wisdom and sense of beauty of people's lives.
The sushi workshop was wonderful, sleeping in an antique Japanese house was great (there are too many houses with man-made materials - like plastic - in Japan) and I really liked having access to the local beers in single-serving brown glass bottles.
