Mariko-shuku, rich in historical attractions such as ukiyo-e and haiku, is a place of great interest. Shizuoka, where Tokugawa Ieyasu spent his later years, has fostered various cultural traditions that are still preserved today. In Izumigatani, you can experience the history and culture of Mariko.
Takumishuku is a premier destination for experiencing Japan's rich heritage of traditional crafts, a legacy that dates back to the Imagawa and Tokugawa eras in Shizuoka. As one of the largest experience-based artisanal workshops in the country, it offers an opportunity to engage with bamboo ware, indigo and tea dyeing, woodworking, lacquering, and pottery. We warmly invite you to discover something new through age-old artistry at Takumishuku.
