Winter-Coloring Craft Day 2026

About this event

On Saturday, December 5, 2026, "Winter-Coloring Craft Day" will be held at Aomori Prefectural Bonju Youth Nature Center in Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture. Participants can enjoy four types of craft experiences that can be displayed for Christmas and New Year: mini kadomatsu, original ema (votive wooden tablets), winter wall hangings, and bamboo lanterns. The mini kadomatsu, measuring about 30 cm in height, are made by sawing bamboo and are perfect as New Year decorations. Original ema are made by cutting wooden boards into the shape of an ema and pasting on decorations with wood craft glue. Winter wall hangings are crafted using tree nuts, cotton, and Christmas decorations, while bamboo lanterns are made by drilling holes into bamboo. The capacity for each crafting time slot is 20 families, open to elementary and junior high school students, their guardians, and families. On the day, a special lunch featuring "Keema Curry with Colorful Vegetables" (500 yen) will also be available for the first 25 families, requiring advance reservations. Participation requires prior online application, open from 8:30 AM on November 16, 2026, to 5:00 PM on November 23, 2026. Material fees range from 200 yen to 1,000 yen per craft piece.
