Our Wagashi forming experience is an easy and fun one, just like colorful clay work, in which we form several colored materials to create a target figure. Let's form the colored dough into the day's theme design by hand to portray "the seasonal beauty of Japan". Even if you have little experience in creative activities or cooking, we will carefully guide you through the process. Next, move on to a dedicated tea room, experience a tea ceremony while eating your own Wagashi. In our tea ceremony experience, the room itself is designed to be experienced sitting in a chair. Once you are settled, you’ll then be served by host with confection followed by real Matcha. And it's your turn. We instruct you how to serve Japanese tea to others according to our unique etiquette. But nothing to worry about. We know you are a beginner. We would “love” to answer your any types of questions. The more guests ask, the more tea ceremony will enrich.

Clay pigeon shooting stands out as a unique experience for a few key reasons, blending physical skill, mental focus, and a connection to both nature and tradition in a way that’s hard to replicate. 1. Dynamic Challenge: Unlike static target shooting, clay pigeons are moving targets, launched at speeds up to 50-70 mph and in unpredictable arcs (especially in sporting clays). 2. Immersion in the Outdoors: Most clay shooting happens on ranges set in natural landscapes—fields, forests, or hills. 3. Variety and Adaptability: Each discipline (skeet, trap, sporting clays) offers a different flavor. 4. Instant Feedback: When you hit a clay, it shatters spectacularly mid-air—there’s no guessing if you succeeded. 5. Social and Solitary Balance: It’s often a group activity, with shooters rotating through stations, trading tips or friendly banter. 6. Skill Progression: Beginners can enjoy it with basic instruction (hitting a clay isn’t as hard as it looks), but mastering it takes years.

This the best opportunity to experience the rush of shooting and actually hitting a moving target because each target becomes more progressively challenging and tougher to boot while your confidence is improved.

From novice to the most experienced, each class is tailored to the individual guest. We do have BB guns available for the kids!

We use argan oil with small touches to nourish the skin and facilitate the massage. The aim is to target the badly irrigated areas with, for example, persistent cellulite. The pressure of the fingers of the masseur on the body will activate the circulation and reduce the risks of congestions of the edema. After a few minutes, your skin will be ready for a first care: black soap wrap (soap made from olive oil). Then a generous layer of ghassoul will wrap you for a few minutes from head to toe. Mixed with water, this fragrant local clay turns into a very soft paste that is pleasant to the body. This service, which can last from one to two hours, is carried out with cosmetic argan oil, with a mixture of verbena, which relaxing virtues are recognized everywhere. It is practiced on the whole body, which allows the maneuvers to have a more interesting effect on the muscles. It is usually possible to enjoy alone or in duo of this particular moment of wellness.

The clays will be released from traps in a variety of locations because we want to be able to simulate specific prey, coming at you from specific locations. We will make sure you are fully covered with hearing protection, because shots can be loud and we want your ears to stay in good shape. You and your friends will love to experience the thrill of hitting a moving target, as each shot is made progressively more difficult as your confidence increases. Come see if you can keep up and shoot your prey. This is a great group bonding activity that your friends will love. Come feel the adrenaline rush as you hit your target, and engage in some friendly competition with the rest of your group.
