About this event

'Kobo HINOKI x PomPom: Wooden Sword Making', held in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a hands-on workshop where you can make your very own original wooden sword. Using tools such as hand planes, saws, and sandpaper, participants process lumber to complete a sword. Once finished, participants can also try breaking paper balloons with the sword, making it a valuable experience for children.

Each session lasts 1 hour and is open to preschoolers (must be accompanied by a guardian) and elementary school students. The fee is 1,300 yen, and advance reservations are required. On the day of the event, participants purchase a ticket at the ticket vending machine in front of the East Building Office and check in. Please note that there are regulations for reservation cancellations and changes, and cancellation fees may apply after the deadline.
