Experience Ako unbiyaki ceramics and your choice of kamadaki gohan rice, and tour the Ako Dantsu Workshop
View Ako unbiyaki and Ako dantsu carpets at the Momoi Museum in Ako Misaki. Take on the challenge of creating a one-of-a-kind unbiyaki leaf plate in the hands-on unbiyaki ceramics activity. Pick your preferred kamadaki gohan rice lunch while gazing upon the Setouchi sea. Then, relax with a footbath, listen to the sounds of a suikinkutsu (buried earthen jar that makes sound when water drips into it), and ride the Angel's Swing. After a satisfying visit to the Momoi Museum, you will travel to Kariya in Ako City and see how dantsu carpets are made at the Ako Dantsu Workshop.
