【DETAILS】

When visiting Hakodate, nothing is better than some fresh squid and Ika-meshi (squid rice), a popular local dish. In fact, the region's mascot is a squid named Ikaru Seijin!


We invite you to our craft workshop to make an item available only in Hakodate and bring it back home as a pleasant memory. The staff will provide instructions on how to make it. The leather will be cut out for you beforehand. You may engrave names, letters, numbers, or patterns on the leather. You can also paint the leather with your choice of colorful dye. Lastly, apply a finishing coat and attach beads and braids if you'd like. Now, your one-and-only-item is ready to use!


The process will be taught carefully to each person, making it enjoyable for people with no prior experience.  During the workshop, feel free to ask for advice and chat with the staff. Regardless of whether you're working alone silently or congenially together, the experience will become a great memory of your trip.
