Located in the leading leather production area centered on Himeji and Tatsuno cities, this is a facility where you can experience leather culture. Here, you can directly handle and purchase high-quality "Himeji Leather" and "Tatsuno Leather" products made with advanced tanning techniques passed down in this land since ancient times. Also, a major attraction is that workshops to actually make small leather goods are held, allowing you to experience craftsmen's handiwork. You can deeply learn about the "commitment" in Japanese manufacturing, such as the texture and scent of leather and the beauty of aging. For travelers looking for lifelong leather items or creative people interested in handiwork, it is a place full of stimulation.
