The perfect place to relax in Kokeshi Town Naruko is a cafe full of kokeshi dolls! You can even bring home a souvenir you make yourself!

Use a knife to carve a 4~5cm kokeshi. Then paint your creation any color you would like. You can attach a strap to the kokeshi or make it into a necklace at no extra cost.

[Process]
Carving with a knife (60 minutes), sanding (30 minutes), painting (30 minutes). The total time takes about 2 hours. Why not enjoy the experience with your favorite drink and a freshly fried donut? They are included in the price.

* We also accept requests for outside workshops. Please contact us for details.

Naruko Onsen Moritabi Association

The Naruko Onsen Moritabi Association is a council of local inns, restaurants, forestry workers, craftsmen, and educators. We offer various nature programs inside the Kurikoma Quasi-National Park national nature reserve. For example, our “woodworking culture experience” helps participants gain a deeper appreciation of the rich natural environment necessary to create the traditional Naruko-style lacquerware and kokeshi dolls. We also offer environmental programs as opportunities to learn about forest recycling and energy circulation by using forest resources. Through unique experience programs that combine activities with stays in hot spring areas, we aim to create a new tourism system that benefits both visitors and residents.

We have an original board designed to make it easier to cut the dogwood harvested in Naruko. Since we will also carefully guide you through the experience, even beginners can make cute baby kokeshi dolls with confidence! If you need a break, recharge with freshly fried donuts and your favorite drink from our café menu--included in the expereience fee! After the experience, we recommend taking a walk around the café to view our extensive kokeshi collection!
