    Nagano Pref. Shiojirishi Narai 579
    The owner was attracted to the lacquerware made nearby and opened this shop after studying at Kiso Lacquer Institute. His original works and local artists’ works are displayed and available for sale. Inside you will find utensils, clothing, accessories, wild vine baskets and more. Among the recommended items would be the “sugisara”—born from its use of Natural Monument Yakushima cedars, which were felled by the typhoon. The lacquerware includes many everyday easy-to-use pieces.

    冬だったので他のお店は閉まっていて、口コミで評判の良いこちらに立ち寄りました。奈良井宿の事を色々を教えて頂いたり楽しい時間を過ごせます。 置いてある物もセレクトされていて星野リゾートで使われていると言うオリジナルの和菓子用切りを茶道をたしなんでいる方にお土産に購入しました。 時間があればゆっくり自分用の物も見たかった。

    Nagano Shiojiri-shi Narai 738
    A 10-minute walk from Narai Station on the JR Chuo Main Line. This shop, located in Shiojiri City, specializes in wooden containers and magemono circular boxes. Magemono are made across the country, with each region's bearing a unique design; the shop's magemono have sides made with Kiso hinoki cypress and covers made with Kiso sawara cypress. All of the shop's boxes and containers are handmade, and, as they are used over the years, the lacquer on areas which are frequently touched will gradually grow brighter and change color. Sure to make a delightful souvenir or gift, Kiso magemono boxes are not only beautiful, they're practical as well - when used as a bento box, they keep rice in its optimum state, preserving the flavor and ensuring it tastes delicious even when cold.

    箸や陶器、ガラスのキリコ、漆の湯飲みやお茶碗と地域の民芸品を集めています。価格は割引品があったり、お値打ち価格でした。

    観光バスがたくさん停まる、木地師の里の中でも大きなお店です。昔ながらのお盆から、最近のアイデア系のものまでいろいろ並んでいました。面白いと思うのは同じ型でも使っている木が違うものが並べられているので、好きな木目や色が選べることです。これは産地ならでは、広いお店ならではだと思いました。奥には体験工房がありました。

Nagano Areas

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
