【herb & aroma Cocowapot】Make Aromatherapy Spray!
【About Cocowapot】 Cocowapot classes take place in an 80-year old barn that has been renovated into a classroom where people can heal, relax, and learn about aromatherapy, herb tea, and other teas. The renovated barn has a very retro Showa-style (1926 -1989) feel to it. In this age where society is stressful and we are responsible for our own health, learning about different aromas, herbs, and spices can be beneficial for both direct health benefits, as well as through aromatherapy. Since ancient times, people have been aware of the strange powers that plants (herbs and teas) have, and have pursued them in order to incorporate them into our daily lives and support our health. I believe in the power of herbs and tea, and want to incorporate that wisdom into our modern lives. I hope to show this with as many people as possible, and I look forward to welcoming everyone to my "barn classroom". 【About the Activity】 We will create an aromatherapy spray (30 ml). This easy-to-understand class is perfect for those just beginning to learn about herbs/aromatherapy, as well as those who want to incorporate it into their daily life. Price: 2,500 Yen Participants: 1 - 4 People Necessary Time: Approx. 1 Hour 30 Minutes Activity Days: Depends on the month.

Surfing in Tokushima!
Tokushima has many surfing spots, such as Naruto City, the northern part of Tokushima City, and the southern part from Anan City to Kaiyo Town - all of which can be enjoyed by both beginners and advanced surfers. Tokushima Prefecture has produced many professional surfers and is sometimes called "Awa no Kuni, the surfing capital of Japan" (Awa is the former name of Tokushima, and "Kuni" means country). In particular, the southern part of Tokushima Prefecture and the eastern part of Kochi Prefecture are the best surfing areas in Shikoku.
