Uchiwa Fan Making and Uchiko Town Historical Stroll in Ehime Prefecture

The perfect plan for those wishing to sightsee efficiently within limited time! Experience making traditional Japanese fans at the Ikarashi Kite Museum, which displays a wide range of materials centred on traditional kites from various regions and kites collected from around the world. Afterwards, stroll along the “Hachikōji and Gokoku Townscape” stretching approximately 600 metres along the Konpira Kaidō road. The residences of wealthy merchants, where traditional culture endures, remain preserved as they were in their heyday. Enjoy the lingering atmosphere, featuring earthen walls plastered with local clay and traditional plasterwork. Furthermore, experience Uchiko's artistic culture in the dressing rooms of an authentic, purely Japanese-style theatre building, which has continued since the Taisho era.
