I had a great time learning about dyeing cloths with the onsen water and then getting to experience it myself! The teacher and people were so nice and there was someone to translate which was very helpful. I will definitely go to another event like this again.
Super fun!

First ever workshop in Beppu!!! The instructor was soooo friendly and the assistant is so pretty and cute hehe 🥹🫶🏻 I think Space Beppu is the first ever place in Japan to invent the onsen tie dye technique!!! Definitely not your usual way of “enjoying” onsen but the experience was definitely 10/10!!! 🌟🫣
