Hear the silkworms munch!

Jun 2016 • Couples

The owner was very passionate and told us a lot about the history of silk production in Shirakawa-go. He took us upstairs to see a ton of silkworms, munching away on leaves (you can hear them!) and a rack of cocoons. He gave me a cocoon with a dead moth inside (I hope it's dead...). Then he took us downstairs to watch some videos on the history of Shirakawa-go, and gave us some coffee and crackers with homemade honey and mulberry jam. All for 200 yen! The owner speaks English to some extent and seemed very excited to see a foreigner.
