Making eco-hats out of waste plastic bottles in Ibaraki

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Hitachinaka City in Ibaraki Prefecture is home to the famous National Hitachi Seaside Park, where you can enjoy the four seasons with nemophilas and kochias. 

The experience venue is located almost halfway between Katsuta Station and the seaside park, so it is possible either on the way to or from sightseeing.

SDGS “Mottainai”! PET bottle caps that you used to throw away after drinking can be turned into wonderful handmade works if you have the right materials and ideas.

Transform them into your favorite hats in your favorite colors, including colorful twine and ribbons!

The teacher, a former art teacher and accessory artist, will teach you in an easy-to-understand and detailed manner, so beginners will not have to worry.

You can take home as a souvenir as a wonderful memory of your trip to Japan. We hope you will try it!
