Hamanaka Kombu Sun-Drying Experience

Hamanaka Town, known as the birthplace of Monkey Punch, creator of Lupin III, is a premier kombu production region. Early on summer mornings, you can experience sun-drying kombu with fishermen families, turning over the kombu spread across the beach. The work, surrounded by the scent of the sea, is refreshing, and you can also sample freshly dried kombu. Combine it with a stroll through Kiritappu Wetland.
