Join a hands-on cultural experience in Tokyo where you can try your hand at making Shime-nawa, a traditional Japanese decoration used for good luck. This activity is beginner-friendly and perfect for families, including young children. The instructor will guide you step by step in creating a unique origami kimono—a special version designed by the instructor that blends traditional folk costume elements with the art of paper folding.

The experience takes place near Abeno Station, in a convenient location with many shops and attractions nearby, such as Abeno Harukas, Tsutenkaku Tower, and Tennoji Zoo. You can take your origami creation home as a souvenir, along with a QR code linking to a folding tutorial video and instructions. It's a fun and memorable way to explore Japanese culture, and your handmade item can even be shared as a small gift by adding a coin, message, or pick inside.
