LAWAKU is located in Yuda Onsen, located in the center of Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, about 30 minutes by Shinkansen from Fukuoka and Hiroshima. Here, we offer a wide variety of kimonos, hair styling services that go well with kimonos, Japanese sweets making experiences, and tea ceremony experiences so that as many people as possible can fully enjoy Japanese culture. This time, I would like to introduce LAWAKU, a place you should definitely visit when you come to Yuda Onsen, Yamaguchi ...
LAWAKU is a space where you can enjoy Japanese culture and seasonal tea, such as making nerikiri, a traditional Japanese sweet, and wearing a kimono to get familiar with Japanese attire.

[Jalan] I would like to see another course
The author, a Taiwanese living in Yamaguchi, recently visited LAWAKU !
When I was in Taiwan, I had the experience of wearing a simple yukata for work several times, but when I visited Sensoji Temple in Tokyo and Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto on a trip, I saw many people wearing elegant kimonos around town. I admired her attractive figure and wanted to wear it myself someday.
▶This time I tried the “Botan Course”
Kimono & Japanese sweets & tea ceremony experience + city walk ¥8,000 (tax included) / 3 and a half hours

LAWAKU offers more kimonos and hair accessories than I expected, so I was a bit worried at first, but the staff carefully taught me about the current trends and color combinations that would look beautiful. Ta.
Since we were planning to go see the autumn leaves on this day, she recommended a color that would stand out against the autumn leaves , and I chose a kimono with a white base and a pale green leaf pattern.
In addition to traditional Japanese clothing, you can also choose your favorite outfit by combining parts such as belts, boots, and accessories.
This is an experience where even beginners can easily enjoy the eclecticism of costumes from the past and present, East and West!
~We want small children and people overseas to enjoy safe and secure Japanese sweets~
LAWAKU 's ``Natural Japanese Sweets (Nerikiri)'' are Japanese sweets that are gentle on the body and colored with powder extracted from fruits and vegetables.
*"Nerikiri" is an abbreviation for "Nerikiri-an," which is a mixture of white bean paste and filler paste.It is an artistic Japanese sweet that expresses the changing seasons and is made by repeatedly tearing and kneading.
I'm a beginner at making Japanese sweets, so I had a hard time with the petals because I couldn't control the amount of pressure I applied properly, but the teacher taught me how to make them, and even though I'm clumsy with my hands, I was able to make them (I was impressed).
The tea ceremony experience will be held in the tea room space. This cozy and relaxing space is also used as a cafe. Coffee, tea, Japanese sweets, dried fruits, etc. are on sale, and you can also enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea.
Thanks to the staff's easy-to-understand explanations, I was able to enjoy some delicious matcha tea to accompany the Japanese sweets I had made earlier.
