      After the center, we visit Okabun Orimono (ROKUMONJIYA), a legendary weaving house since 1690. This exclusive tour takes you inside the Enoki Residence, a designated Historical Scenic Structure. Usually closed to the public, you will gain special behind-the-scenes access to this "living cultural property" thanks to your guide's personal connection with the president. What to expect: • See real manufacturing processes in an operational atelier. • Witness modern machines alongside delicate traditional hand-weaving by master artisans. • Relax in the serene, private Japanese garden at the back of the estate. *Professional photography services are available upon request (additional charge applies).
