Nara's traditional crafts! "Nigiri Sumi" experience & early check-in plan (meals not included)

Special plan from Kinkoen x Henn na Hotel Nara♪ A plan with a Nara ink nigiri sumi experience, a traditional Nara craft, is now available! *This plan requires advance payment. At Kinkoen, an 8-minute walk from Henn na Hotel Nara, you can create a one-of-a-kind Nara ink stick with your hand print or fingerprint♪ Demand for ink has plummeted in recent years, and Nara ink, which accounts for more than 90% of domestic ink production, is also on the decline. The sharp decline in production has led to a series of ink makers, related parties, and craftsmen going out of business, and there is a lack of successors, threatening the survival of the production area. Why not take this opportunity to experience the charm of Nara ink? It is said that characters written in ink will last for 1,000 years. Why not write important words or memories in Nara ink? 《Access》 Experience location: Kinkoen Business hours: 8:30-19:00 Address: 547 Sanjo-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture, 630-8244 [Please tell us your preferred time for the experience] *You can choose the experience from the check-in date/check-out date. *If you do not contact us, we may not be able to accommodate your desired time. *Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your request depending on the congestion situation.
