Inami Kibori no Sato Soyukan いなみ木彫りの里創遊館
A place that allows you to enjoy wood with all 5 senses!
This roadside station is packed many fun things to see, eat, and experience. Inami Kibori no Sato Soyukan (Roadside Station Inami) is home to many corners that let you appreciate the wood carving town of Inami. It features the "Takumi Kobo," an artisan workshop where you can learn about traditional wood carving from Inami up close, the "Nanto Rakuichi", where you can buy many local Toyama souvenirs with an emphasis placed on wooden items, and the "Create Kobo," a spot where children and adults alike can experience woodworking. We recommend the "Create Kobo" to children and people who love making things with their own hands. From simple items like plates, pencil cases, and small boxes to sake cups and speakers carved from wood with a wooden hammer and a chisel, there are many kinds of courses that can be tailored to you depending on your available time and interest. (Most courses last around 1 hour).
