△Winter Special Plan

We are pleased to announce a special winter program at SHUZENJI WASHI LABORATORY for the upcoming New Year season (December 27, 2025 – January 12, 2026).
Please note: During this period, our regular program at the Shuzenji Kamiya Washi Studio will also be available.
*Click here for details on the regular program.

Although you will not be able to take home the washi paper you make on the day (we will instead give you a finished sheet of Shuzenji washi as a gift), the Winter Plan offers several advantages:

  • Easy access—SHUZENJI WASHI LABORATORY is located right in the heart of Shuzenji Onsen.
  • Comfortable environment—enjoy papermaking in a fully air-conditioned space.
  • Great value—take part in the experience at a significantly reduced price.

We hope you will seize this opportunity to discover the art of Shuzenji Washi making in perfect winter comfort.

For full details, please read on.
