★BOOKING★

Our mission has always been to create an environment where freedom of expression is encouraged through origami folding. Taro has designed this space as an origami museum that will showcase a variety of origami models. We want to develop this place into a new art destination in Japan.

Your child can choose themes from the origami software library that they would like to share with their party guests. We have a variety of animals and objects a child can choose from, including but not limited to a rabbit, bear, frog, an assortment of flowers, and vehicles, such as airplanes, trucks, and cars. In addition, we have over 40 colors of origami paper available so that each child can choose according to preference and express their creativity.

Along with the origami instructor staff, each child will try hands-on origami using the touchscreen-based software. After folding an origami model, each child can decorate origami with stamps, stickers, and decorative pens. Not only will children make memories with this unique experience, but they will also be able to save those memories by taking home their own origami art and the knowledge of folding learned for years to come.
