5.00Yusuke and his wife were fantastic! They were very friendly and welcomed us (my mom, friend and myself) with water when we met. They were very accommodating of my 80+ year old mother who couldn’t walk too quickly. We truly enjoyed learning about the Arimatsu area and the history behind it. I’m still reeling over how true shibori tie-dye is done! It is truly mind blowing. After the tie dye experience, we enjoyed lunch with them at an udon/donburi restaurant with green tea. It was delicious! We then went to a museum and was introduced to the “parade floats” that they bring out once a year that takes over 30 men to move! Incredible! All with a puppet that can write the kanji for the year. We also visited a museum of one of the original shibori homes. My husband is in construction and wow—the structures were amazing. Also the tie-dye that was left behind. Lol. All in all, I would love to do this tour again if we are ever in the area!
Fascinating little town and interesting experience.

5.00Yusuke was easy to communicate with even before the tour and was accommodating when I had to change the date. The new date happened to fall on Arimatsu’s Annual Tenmansha Autumn Festival and he was excited to catch it with me too. He was open, interested in languages and pretty zen, not hurrying or watching the time. We walked around the old town, attended the Shibori workshop, had lunch together in an old house, visited an old warehouse, prayed at the shrine, had coffee, watched the floats…while he shared the history, culture etc of the place. It was like visiting Arimatsu with a local guide and a friend. I would recommend visiting Arimatsu with Yusuke (and his wife/assistant if you were lucky) and hope that you will enjoy the tour as much as I had.
