Beschreibung
Make your own sasara clapper with a master craftsman, play it and learn the Kokiriko, Japan's oldest folk song and dance, in a gassho house in Gokayama.
We pick up your group at your hotel in Kanazawa at about 08:15. Your English-speaking driver-guide (Hindi and Urdu also available) drives you to Gokayama, a valley of thatched gassho houses. The day is built around The Kokiriko Experience, a local program in Gokayama. You make a sasara, a wooden clapper of 108 thin boards, and then play it while you learn the Kokiriko dance, said to be the oldest folk song in Japan.
About 09:45 - Gokayama Tourist Information Center. Meet the local program team and interpreter.
About 10:00 - Murakami House (about 2 hours). An Important Cultural Property and about 400 years old. A master craftsman shows you how to tie the boards of your own sasara. Then you play it to the Kokiriko song and learn the simple steps of the dance by the old fire pit.
About 12:15 - Gokayama hard tofu at Kihei. Taste the firm tofu that was once carried over the mountains tied with rope.
About 12:45 - Lunch at Jippensha restaurant (included in the program).
About 14:00 - Ainokura village (about 1.5 hours). Walk among about 20 gassho houses and climb to the viewpoint over the rice fields.
About 15:45 - Drive back to Kanazawa, arriving at about 17:15.
On the day you can spend more or less time in Ainokura, or add a short stop at Suganuma village on the way back.
This is a private tour. Only your group.
If The Kokiriko Experience is closed or cancelled on your date, your driver-guide takes you to a similar place nearby instead. The tour price does not change. If you prefer, we can instead book a Gokayama washi paper-making class at Gokayama Washi no Sato.
