• Osaka Ranma, a traditional craft of Japan that was once presented to world leaders at APĒC, will be offering a woodworking experience! Experience carving Osaka Ranma at Takahashi Shoten in Matsubara. Under the guidance of master craftsman Takahashi, who also worked on part of the interior of Nankai's new sightseeing limited express train "Tenku," choose your favorite design from five options: bamboo, horse, dolphin, Mt. Fuji, and goldfish. Takahashi will draw a preliminary sketch for the part to be carved, so you will carve along that with a carving knife. The material is not hard, so you don't need much strength, and traditional craftsman Takahashi will support you, so even those unfamiliar with carving tools can participate with ease. Takahashi Shoten is a workshop deeply rooted in the community, and the people there are very friendly, so anyone can easily enjoy the experience. Lunch will be at the popular Matsubara restaurant "Takenowa Shokudo"! We will tour the last capital of the Kawachi dynasty with a guide, visiting Shibagaki Shrine, which enshrines Emperor Hanzei, the god of teeth, Abo Shrine, famous for its floral ceiling paintings, and Kawachi Otsukayama Kofun, the fifth largest burial mound in Japan. • Itinerary: Meet at 9:00 AM in front of the west exit ticket gate on the 1st floor of Kintetsu Abenobashi Station. Expected end time: around 4:00 PM at Kintetsu Abenobashi Station.
