IKEUCHI ORGANIC OPEN HOUSE -LIVE TOUR 2025-

This year again, we will hold an open house where craftspeople who put their hearts and souls into their craftsmanship can directly communicate with the people who deeply love and support IKEUCHI ORGANIC.

This year, we will again offer a program that allows visitors to deeply and intensely experience each process, such as sutra preparation and weaving, as well as a one-day-only store and a reception, which were very popular last year.

For this once-a-year event, the entire head office and factory will be transformed into a stage filled with excitement to welcome you.The people who guidevisitors arethe craftsmen who create the towels themselves. The passionate thoughts and feelings of the craftsmen, which are usually unavailable to the public, will be delivered directly from Imabari.

Please enjoy the overwhelming sense of presence, where you can even feel the craftsmen’s breath.
