Getting there
The operator estimates about 40 minutes by car from Nagano IC via Route 19 and the Hakuba–Nagano Road. Navigate to Ogawa no Sho Oyaki Village or 026-269-3767, not the head office at 2876 Takafu. During the November 9–27, 2026 roadworks period, check road conditions and detours before travelling and allow extra time.

- The November 5 operator notice describes road closure on five weekdays within November 9–27. Its text does not identify the five dates. Roads reopen on weekends and holidays, with a signed detour on affected weekdays. This is not a shop-closure notice.
- Do not mix in the Daimon branch’s Wednesday closure or afternoon-only workshop.
- An older village tourism page says to book three days ahead, but that deadline is not confirmed in the current branch guide; contact the branch early.
- The experience involves hearth fire and smoke. Allergy arrangements, age requirements and step-free access are unverified.
