February in Sakurai, Minoh 2026

 It's February, and as you might have seen on the main site, there are no tours apart from on February 15th, and each Thursday in March. More details about that to come, but today I'll share some interesting things going on, in Sakurai, Minoh.

These are small but interesting events, and they're typically not publicised on the standard "things to do in Osaka/Minoh" websites.

Feb 18th~22nd - Art Exhibition: Haruna Hayakawa


This exhibition is a ceramic installation that explores thoughts and emotions before they become words. When communicating with others, people unconsciously select and shape their thoughts into coherent language. However, unspoken and unorganized thoughts also play an essential role in forming one’s inner self.


Feb 25th~ March 1st - Art Exhibition: ChiHaru Cardboard

An exhibition of works that use cardboard as a canvas.
ダンボールをキャンバスに街の風景を描くアーティストChiHaruの個展「いつかの風景 いつもの風景」を2月25日(水)から開催いたします。

Meaning roughly, scenes of someday, with the scenery of everyday. 

The works combine the nostalgia of everyday settings to evoke a sense of warmth and transport you to a special place.   


  • Location: Art Gallery 待夢 -TIME
  • Time 10AM~6PM
  • Price: Free Entrace


    • Feb 28th - Musical Perfomance & Dinner

    A Look Back On January

    Image
     It's the end of January, and a month of successful tours at an interesting time of year! Today I'll look back on it and show you some pictures so you can get an idea of what Minoh is like in January. How cold is it? Too cold to cycle?  While it was cold and we had to dress accordingly, it was basically fine!  Having cycled the mountain roads in January before, remembering it as being severely cold on the descent, I was apprehensive at the start of the month. I was prepared to have to make some disappointing cancellations in case of frozen roads for safety reasons. However when it came down to it, over the total of 6 tours that ran, the road didn't freeze any of those times (despite there being some snow at the side of the roads at the top of the mountain on some days), it was basically fine, if chilly. On all apart from one of the tours, the temperature was between 4 and 7C, and only on two days did it feel really cold - and that was on the way down.   Thankful...
