Located in Taka Town, the birthplace of Sugiharagami is a place that protects the tradition of the highest-grade Japanese paper boasting over 1,300 years of history. This paper, once favored by samurai and nobles, is entirely handmade, from the cultivation of the raw material kozo to papermaking in clear streams. Here, under the guidance of craftsmen, you can enjoy a papermaking experience to create your own original paper using actual cold water. The soft touch and strength of the finished paper allow you to feel the pinnacle of Japanese handiwork. It is an intellectual healing spot where you can learn about Japan's beautiful calligraphy culture and the depth of traditional crafts along with quiet mountain scenery.
