<About Korakukan> Korakukan was built in 1910 as a welfare facility for employees of Kosaka Mine in Akita Prefecture. It is characterized by its blend of Japanese and Western styles, which was rare at the time. What is noteworthy is that it is still an active playhouse. From late April to early November, popular plays and revue shows are performed once to three times a day. During the winter months, when there are no performances, the museum is open as a tour facility.

This is a chopstick-making experience plan where you polish the chopsticks by applying patterns to them using sandpaper. Since no sharp tools are used, even children can experience this safely. There is no need to worry about skin rashes. The color and shape of the pattern change depending on the size of the chopsticks and the direction in which they are sharpened. This is also recommended for those who are not good at painting. It is a set of two pairs, so you can share it between two people (^^)
