Fukusaki Town Hall, Hyogo Prefecture

Fukusaki Town is located in the southwest of Hyogo Prefecture, formerly known as "Banshu" or "Harima Province." In the past, it flourished as a key transportation hub where roads linking the east and west and the north and south intersected. On May 3, 1956, Tahara Village, Yachikusa Village, and the former Fukusaki Town merged to form the town we see today. Even today, the town remains an important transportation hub, with the JR Bantan Line, Bantan Link Road, and National Route 312 running north to south, and the Chugoku Expressway and Prefectural Route Miki-Shiso Line running east to west. Furthermore, Fukusaki Town is a rural city surrounded by lush green mountains, with the Ichikawa River flowing through the center of town, and is a region rich in history and cultural heritage.

The ``hand-stretching experience'' will start in June at ``Mochimugi no Yakata,'' which can be said to be a representative example.
You can experience a unique noodle-making method devised while inheriting the traditional method of milling flour based on the ancient Ishiichi method.

The trial fee for the "Hand-stretching experience course" (advance reservation required) is 1,500 yen per person. The experience is limited to 2 to 6 people per day and lasts about 1 hour.
You can experience the ``kadohoshi'' process, in which the noodles are stretched out on a pole, and the ``hashiwake'' process, in which the noodles are separated with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together.

The ``One Day Experience Course'' allows you to experience all the tasks, including gate-hanging and separating chopsticks, and is limited to one group (up to 2 people) per day.
The trial fee is a flat rate of 65,000 yen for up to 2 people, but the bonus is 10 boxes of noodles *normally worth 5,400 yen x 10 (with special branding iron, dried, boxed and delivered at a later date), lunch, and photos of work scenes included. The cost performance seems high.

You could also use it to give the noodles you made yourself as a gift.

"Mochimugi no Yakata" handles drying, cutting, and bagging after drying and separating chopsticks. It takes about an hour, so we recommend taking a walk around the area in addition to the experience.
