Karen-no-Yakata
On a path along the Tomoegawa River flowing from Lake Mikawa lies a picturesque building that specializes in fragrances and even has its own waterwheel. At Karen-no-Yakata, make seasonal flower wreaths or your own salt potpourri. When you’re done, get some play time across the river, where there’s a big, grassy area, a walking trail, a free dog park, and more.
Enjoy hands-on experiences!
Create a wreath of dried flowers and lavender potpourri, or try making salt potpourri.
