Neputa Lantern-Making
Step into Kuroishi's historic Nakamachi Komise Street and craft a lantern from genuine Neputa paintings—art once paraded on summer festival floats.
Guided by the staff at IRODORI, you'll choose vibrant washi fragments and assemble your design; an LED insert means it glows beautifully back home. Sessions run in small time slots and the shop is an easy walk from Kuroishi Station.
