Echizen Washi

Usually I do a guide tour here to show visitors around in Echizen Washi for 5,000JPY per hour. Of course, it's not cheap at all.... and many of the visitors choose not to pay but to see around by themselves. It's really pitty that they always miss what is mostly worth visiting here after they finally get here all the way from their hometown.

So, this time, I offered a new idea; cultural exchanging !! YEY.

Thanks to Penny and John from Tasmania, this time everything went just all right.. 

I made a tour, visiting some Echizen paper studios, walking along the historical streets with its history ( you know I love history, so you won't get bothered ) and so on.......
