Experience the Making of Silk in Fukui

The Hata Memorial Hall Yumeore Katsuyama is a facility where you can enjoy the world of textiles. Machinery related to textiles that was active during the Showa period is actually in operation, and it's nothing but romantic✨ By the way, silkworm pupae will die if exposed to sunlight, so cocoons are exposed to sunlight and then doused with boiling water, which turns them into fibrous threads that become the raw material for silk! I've always been curious about how silk threads are extracted from cocoons since I was in elementary school, and I finally got it resolved this time😆 I also tried my hand at weaving with guidance from the facility's grandpa👍 It was a fun and educational experience, so I definitely recommend it🥺 ■ Hand-woven coaster experience fee: 500 yen ■ Silk ball craft experience fee: 500 yen
