What To Expect

1. Yonezawa Experience the traditional fabric culture of "safflower dyeing" in Yonezawa. Safflower dyeing, known as "benibana-zome" (紅花染め) in Japanese, is a cherished traditional craft in Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture. This ancient technique, dating back to the Edo period (1603-1868), involves using the petals of the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) to create a vibrant red dye. The process is labor-intensive: petals are harvested, dried, and fermented to extract the red pigment, carthamin, which is then used to dye fabrics like silk and cotton. The resulting hues, from pale pink to deep crimson, were historically prized by nobility and samurai. 3 hours

2. The hot springs of Onogawa Onsen are celebrated for their healing properties, with the mineral-rich waters believed to aid in the relief of ailments such as neuralgia, rheumatism, and skin conditions. The water is clear and slightly alkaline, providing a soothing and rejuvenating experience for bathers. Visitors can enjoy these therapeutic benefits in a variety of settings, including traditional public baths, private baths, and open-air rotenburo (outdoor baths) that offer stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty. 2 hours
