When taking a short trip for one or two nights, you want to reduce your carry-on luggage as much as possible, and that's where the tenugui towel comes in handy. Tenugui towels, which serve multiple functions in a single piece, are an essential item to minimize your luggage!

To avoid rain and insects.

If it suddenly starts raining lightly while traveling, quickly cover yourself with a tenugui towel to ward off the rain. Spraying herbs with an insect repellent effect, such as Japanese peppermint, will help to repel insects.

Organizing a change of clothes

Wrap your clothes and underwear in tenugui towels and you can quickly turn them into clothes storage. You can put them together by day, or you can compress them by wrapping the whole tenugui towel around it! It can be carried in the shape of your bag or backpack.




Mealtime

A feast at a place you visit is one of the most special pleasures of travel. However, when eating noodles such as soba or udon, you may worry about splashing dewdrops. If you use a tenugui towel as a front hanging, you don't have to worry about that.





Hot spring

Tenugui towels are in their element! By all means, take it to a hot spring. We recommend that you bring a tenugui towel to a hot spring resort on a white background that will not fade easily. Depending on the quality of the hot spring water, the color may easily fade, so it is best to use a tenugui that has been used for a long time so that the color has become more familiar. If you have two of them, they can be used as bath towels, and if you go back to your room to dry them, they will be dry by the next morning and can be used again the next day.

Oops! One word of caution here. In Japan, towels and tenugui towels are not allowed in hot springs!
