This is a plan for you to discover the craftwork technique of Hakata and use it yourself! You will learn about “Hakata-ori”: a beautiful and firm cloth made in Hakata, and “Hakata Ningyo”: a doll with various color, shape, and face made in Hakata. First, you will visit a traditional Japanese house where a craftsman makes Hakata-ori cloth with a weaving machine. You may make one yourself if you are lucky! There is a shop in a local shopping street that deals with Hakata Ningyo and Kimon made from Hakata-ori, which would be a perfect place to buy your souvenir! There is also a place where you are going to paint on a Hakata Ningyo! Don’t forget to book your tour craftwork tour!

Otomo Travel put together a great tour of Hakata for our group. We took 6 high school students from Oakland, CA over to Fukuoka. The tour was perfect for our group, even with our limited Japanese knowledge, they were very accommodating and punctual. They also provided us with some great pictures to remember this tour!
