# Nakano Udon School Kotohira

Sanuki udon uses only flour and salt water. The class is laid out as twelve steps, among them mixing, kneading, treading, rolling and cutting three-to-four-millimeter strips. The dough is bagged and trodden to music, and the from-scratch stages are done as a group. A teacher explains that udon ferments, so temperature and salt change with the season. At the end comes a scroll-shaped diploma with a rolling pin attached. You then choose: boil the udon in a shared pot, or take it home sealed with broth.

| Best-fit ages (guide) | Yes | Any age can take part, but knives are used, so primary school age is the guide; pre-school children are recommended to work in a pair with an adult. If the session runs long because you are doing it with small children, there is no extra charge. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.nakanoya.net/nakanoudon/) |
| Stroller access notes | Yes | The school stands on the main approach to Kompira-san, with the Nakano Udon School sign as the landmark, and is split between two buildings - called A and B on the class page, the main building and B on the access page. The sign at each entrance gives the session time and room. Ten minutes on foot from JR Kotohira station, about 40 minutes by bus from Takamatsu airport (get off at Konpira-san Iriguchi, then three minutes), about 30 minutes by car from the Seto Ohashi bridge (Yoshima PA). Parking is described two ways: a Nakanoya car park, paid, at a discount for people doing the class and with the rate changing by season - and, elsewhere, none of the shops having a car park, with nearby coin parking to be used instead. | 2026-08-15 (web) | [source](https://www.nakanoya.net/access/) |
