[Aichi Prefecture, Okazaki City] "Nagashi Somen Experience" at Okazaki Accommodation Facility Continues This Year Due to Popularity, Enjoyable Even on Rainy Days Thanks to Covered Area.

Wood Design Park Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative: Daiki Suzuki) is offering its "Nagashi Somen Experience," a limited-time summer activity at its accommodation facility "Wood Design Park Okazaki" (Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture), which began on June 20, 2026.

Last year, the event was so popular that many sessions were fully booked. This year, it is being held in four sessions per day in a dedicated covered area, welcoming visitors with a summer experience that can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.

"Why is this event attracting attention now?"

In recent years, interest in "experiential" leisure for families has been growing. However, there are few places in the Okazaki area where one can easily enjoy traditional summer activities like nagashi somen within an accommodation facility.

Wood Design Park Okazaki utilizes a nagashi somen machine handmade by staff.

Due to its popularity last year, with many sessions selling out, the event is being held for approximately four months this year, from June 20 to October 31.

Experience Overview

The sight of somen noodles being continuously streamed down a bamboo-like nagashi somen machine, prepared by staff, is a nostalgic experience for adults and a novel one for children.

The venue is a dedicated nagashi somen area set up in the plaza next to the reception building. It is covered, allowing the activity to proceed even in light rain.

It is popular among families staying at the facility as an activity that is less affected by the weather during the summer vacation period.
