A historic workshop dedicated to preserving the 400-year-old tradition of "Nishijima Washi." Here, artisans still hand-pour each sheet of paper using age-old methods. Observing the meticulous process (check in advance) allows visitors to appreciate the soft yet strong texture of authentic Japanese paper, embodying the spirit of "Monozukuri" (craftsmanship) and water.
