【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. Please check the calendar for more information. 【Business Information】 herb & aroma Cocowapot Address: Enmei 490, Kokufu-cho, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/c_pot_herb/

This half-day tour allows participants to experience Tokushima's shrines, traditional performing arts, an old town area, and historical sweets together with an English speaking guide. ♪ 【Bizan Tenjin Shrine】 After a short walk up a flight of stairs, one is greeted with brilliant red color that adorns the buildings of Tenjin Shrine. Dedicated to the God of Learning, Sugawara no Michizane, this shrine attracts many students hoping for some luck to pass their entrance exams. On the shrine grounds lies a cow statue known as the “Cow of Wisdom”. It’s said that the more you rub it, the more wisdom you will gain! In addition to being a shrine for learning, Tenjin Shrine is also known as a power spot for matchmaking! Near the western area of the shrine lies a large rock that is fondly known as “Himemiya-san” and it is said to be effective for match making, safe pregnancies, and for recovery from sickness.

If both are fools, you may as well dance!” 【Tokushima Ramen Lunch】 Enjoy Tokushima's specialty "Tokushima Ramen" for lunch. 【Kinryosui Spring】 The beautifully clear waters of the Kinryosui Spring were once beloved by the lords of the Tokushima Domain in times past.

This sweet, made using the lord’s beloved Kinryosui Spring water, quickly became a hit. More than 400 years later, we can still enjoy the lord’s favorite treat at Wadanoya.

Explore the Mysterious Iya Valley!【Guided Tour】
Visit the representative sightseeing spots of the Iya Valley via taxi together with a guide! 【Iya Kazurabashi Vine Bridge】 This vine bridge shakes and sways with each step, and is not a spot to be skipped when visiting Iya Valley! Although crossing might be a bit frightening at first, the view of the valley from the bridge is truly stunning, and the view of the river below is sure to get your heart racing. 【Lunch: Iya Bijin】 Since long ago it has been difficult to grow rice in the Iya area, so soba (buckwheat) was grown in its place. As such, "Iya Soba" has become a staple food of the area. At Iya Bijin, you can try these delicious soba noodles for yourselves. 【Hi no Ji Bend】 The Iya Valley offers grand nature that no big city can. The Hi no Ji Bend, named for its likeness to the Japanese character Hi (ひ), changes its face with each passing season. In spring it's a vivid green, in autumn it's dyed with seasonal colors, and in winter it becomes a white landscape. No matter when you visit, the sights are beautiful! 【Peeing Boy Statue】 According to the old folk tales, children used to prove their courage by standing on top of this rock and peeing over the edge of the gorge. Standing 200 m above the river's surface, some people find their feet frozen on this rock! Like the Hi no Ji Bend, the scenery changes with the seasons, and although a bit frightening perhaps, the views are gorgeous. 【Oboke Gorge Sightseeing Cruise + Souvenir Shopping】 Enjoy the emerald green waters and towering rocks of the Oboke Gorge from this sightseeing boat.
