Handwoven Studio YUHKOUBOU

手織り由布衣工房

Handwoven Studio YUHKOUBOU is known for its hand-woven and hand-dyed products. It offers an interactive learning experience that teaches guests about these traditional processes. Conveniently located about a five-minute walk from Hida-Furukawa Station, YUHKOUBOU’s simple yet mesmerizing craftsmanship epitomizes Hida Furukawa’s quaint town vibes.

The studio is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens that guide visitors along a stone path to its wooden entrance. It is a national Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

Inside the studio is where the true magic occurs, where handmade textiles—including their trademarked 'Hida-kanton' pattern—are diligently weaved and then naturally dyed using medicinal dyes local to Hida.
