訪日旅行者向け"プチホームステイ"文化体験を開始。本物のアンティーク着物生地で髪飾り作りを体験
Beyond sightseeing - experience everyday life in Japan through local people, handmade crafts, and heartfelt hospitality.
Torch LLC, based in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, has launched a new cultural experience through its inbound tourism brand, Torch Experience Ise.
The new program offers international visitors something different from traditional sightseeing-a "Little Homestay Experience", where guests spend time in a small local atelier, enjoy Japanese tea and sweets, meet local people, and create a handmade hair accessory using authentic antique kimono fabrics.
Reservations open on August 8, 2026.
Experience Japan Beyond the Tourist Trail
As more international travelers seek authentic local experiences instead of simply visiting famous landmarks, Torch Experience Ise invites guests into a quiet neighborhood just seven minutes on foot from Ujiyamada Station.
There are no crowds.
No tour buses.
No commercial attractions.
Instead, guests are welcomed into a small local atelier where they can slow down, share conversations over tea, and experience a side of Japan rarely found in guidebooks.
More Than a Craft Workshop
The experience is not simply about making a hair accessory.
It is about spending time with local people.
Learning the stories behind antique kimono.
Touching fabrics that have been carefully preserved for generations.
Many of the kimono fabrics used are over 100 years old.
Every guest creates a one-of-a-kind keepsake while discovering Japanese traditions through conversation and craftsmanship.
A Little Homestay Experience
Guests often say they feel less like tourists and more like they are visiting a Japanese family.
The atmosphere is relaxed, personal, and unhurried.
Japanese tea and seasonal sweets are served during the experience, encouraging natural conversation and cultural exchange.
Our English may not be perfect, but we welcome every guest with warmth, kindness, and genuine Japanese hospitality.
