Step into the world of Nagoya Chōchin, lanterns that have brightened festivals for 400 years. Backed by the Tokugawa shoguns, they are known for bamboo frames and the soft glow of washi. By the Meiji era, Nagoya was Japan’s top producer, exporting them worldwide as symbols of artistry.

At Wazamon Chaya, discover this heritage and craft your own. Guided by an artisan, choose washi, paste it on the frame, and make a lantern that folds flat — a unique souvenir.

The workshop is held in Japan Culture Village, where shrines, old shops, and cafés blend tradition and modern life.
