[Tourism Department] Seminar activity "Hanshin Inter-Japan Heritage Fieldwork"

This year, the Koiso and Eiji Tanaka seminars of second-year tourism students are collaborating with Itami City on a PBL-type program on the theme of Japan Heritage between the Hanshin region.As part of this, Tanaka's seminar conducted fieldwork focusing on Mikage-go, one of Nada-gogo.

In the Tanaka seminar, we have conducted group work to learn about the Hanshin-Hanshin and the Hanshin-Hanshin Japan Heritage. The theme of the seminar was "How to raise awareness of history and culture?"

In this fieldwork, in order to find clues for proposing solutions to problems, we carried out "observation cards" to make notes on our discoveries and realizations. We visited a museum and a Japanese confectionery shop that has been around since the Edo period and whose signature product is barrel-shaped senbei made from chopped komo barrels of Nadagogo's famous sake.

In addition, while walking around the town, we discovered a tofu shop that uses underground water to make delicious sake from Nadagogo.

And since it is important to experience everything in fieldwork, we also tasted barrel-shaped rice crackers, yogurt-flavored amazake (alcohol is 0% because we are in class!), brewed rice crackers, sake lees butter cookies, and soft serve ice cream. It's been a delicious and fun fieldwork.

From now on, students will come up with ideas for proposals based on their many realizations.I can't wait to see what kind of ideas you come up with!

In this semester's seminar, we are studying assignments related to the Hanshin Inter-Japan Heritage.During the fieldwork, we visited the Hanshin Inter-Japan Heritage near Hanshin Sumiyoshi Station.I also tried amazake, barrel-shaped rice crackers, sake lees butter cookies, and ice cream, and they were all delicious.

At the barrel-shaped senbei shop, the history of the shop was explained.We heard that the most important thing is to keep the traditional Japanese heritage, and to continue the "mindfulness" and "handmade".I learned a lot.

"Fieldwork" by Eiji Tanaka's seminar was held at Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum, and 14 students participated.

I am happy that this museum is free to visit and photography is allowed!Inside, there is a souvenir shop next to the tour route.There is no guide, but they will explain the sake brewing process with video footage.I was impressed by the fact that they explained both how to make it in the old days and how to make it in the factory now, and that there are still images of the early Showa era.

This spring semester, it was difficult to go out and observe with all the seminar students due to the new corona disaster, but I was very happy to participate in fieldwork for the first time this semester.In particular, through various hands-on experiences, I heard that Miyamizu from Mt. I understand.I also learned that the barrel-shaped senbei, in particular, are very handmade.Information on team themes was also looked up at each location.

In this way, if you don't go to the site, you won't know what sweets are related to the Hanshin Inter-Japan Heritage.I think it would be difficult to create a questionnaire to raise awareness of history and culture without knowing this.For that reason, this fieldwork was very good.

I learned a lot about the Japan Heritage between Hanshin in Mikage.Furthermore, I think it was useful in deepening the friendship of the seminar students.It was a lot of fun.

I did fieldwork on Japan Heritage between Hanshin in the seminar of Prof. Eiji Tanaka in Research Theme II.

I have actually visited the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum.The explanation of how to make sake has a QR code translated into foreign languages, so it was easy for foreigners to understand the explanation.I think that was a good point.In addition, we drank and ate lactobacillus amazake and Daigin Kamiyamada Nishiki senbei, which were very delicious.Everyone, if you like it, please go there.

Through this fieldwork, I am glad that I was able to learn about the history and values of the Japan Heritage Site between the Hanshin Areas.

I'm still underage, so I thought I wasn't interested in alcohol, but when I broadened my horizons and tried to learn more about Japan Heritage between the Hanshin Areas, there were many things that even a minor like me could find fascinating. I had a lot of fun with it.

I would like to know more and more.
