About this event
The "History Fureai Festival 2026" aimed at elementary school students will be held at Yuri no Sato Park in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. This event provides an opportunity to enjoyably learn about the history of Sakai City. In the paid experiences, participants can actually make ancient craft items such as magatama beads, dotaku bronze bells, and haniwa figures. The magatama-making session has a capacity of 30 people per round for a participation fee of 500 yen, dotaku-making has a capacity of 4 people per round for 800 yen, and haniwa-making has a capacity of 20 people per round for 2,000 yen. These paid experiences require advance application via a dedicated application form, starting on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 8:30 AM on a first-come, first-served basis. Free hands-on activities include a Shakudani stone carving experience working with Shakudani stone (a stone representative of Fukui), a traditional folk tool experience using a traditional "tomi" winnowing machine to separate brown rice from chaff, and a fire-starting experience using ancient methods; these do not require prior registration and can be experienced at any time. This festival will serve as a prime opportunity for children to interact with history and deepen their learning.
