Rain or shine! Experience the delicious taste of traditional sweets from Aso, Kumamoto with "Three-colored Ikinari Dango" making!

Make your own Aso local sweets


We have started the "Three-Color Ikinari Dango Making Experience"


Ao no Travel Agency has launched a new experience plan at Orsa Minamiaso, a lodging and community exchange center in Minamiaso Village, where you can make your own traditional Kumamoto sweets, Ikinari Dango.


"Ikinari Dango" is a local confectionery representative of Kumamoto, made by wrapping sweet potato and bean paste in dough made from rice flour and other ingredients and steaming it. In this experience, you will enjoy making colorful dango in three colors, including the traditional white dough as well as those made with matcha and purple sweet potato.


The program allows participants to experience everything from milling flour, making dough, wrapping, steaming, and even tasting the finished product, and has been well-received as a valuable opportunity to experience Aso's food culture.

This is an indoor program that can be carried out even in rainy weather, so you can participate without worrying about the weather. English guide materials are also available, so foreign visitors can also use it.


This new activity is recommended for families, group travelers, and those looking for a rainy day sightseeing plan. Please join us and create some memorable memories of your trip to Aso.
