Kijishi no Sato

Original Text

There are several wooden jishi shops in the mountains of Minamikiso that grind trees with a roulette to make arms and trays. There are several shops, but they are all Okura and Kozuke, who are following the flow of wooden jishi originating in Omi. All the products made by grinding wood and lacquer are handmade by each store, and although the price is a little high, you want the warmth of wood.

If you like woodworking products, we recommend that you go. Each store has ingenious products such as a shop that sells ballpoint pens made of wood, a kurinuki tea cylinder, a tray, and a speaker.

An area where the crockery workshops and shops are lined up about 20 minutes from Hirugami Onsen to Tsumagojuku. I think it's just right for a drive on an easy-to-driving road. There are facilities that let you experience it, but it's nice just to see the pottery and paint. There is also a shop where Mr. Kiji will explain directly. The price was not so high, and I could choose various types of trees. It took about 15 minutes to get to Tsumago after going to Minami Kiso.
