Every summer, Yukari no Mori, a city park in the Toyosato part of the city, offers a series of handicraft workshops (in Japanese, of course). All classes are 500 yen (1000 yen for non-residents), and registration begins at 10 am each day.

During the summer, the following classes are offered:

• separate pottery and dying classes every Monday and 2nd and 4th Sundays from 10 am to 3 pm
• knitting every Monday and 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 10 am to 3 pm
• weaving every Thursday from 10 am to 4 pm
• bamboo and straw crafts every Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm (by reservation only)
• wood crafts every 1st and 3rd Sunday from 10 am to 3 pm (by reservation only)
• ikebana flower arranging every 1st and 3rd Saturday from 1 to 4 pm, with cost of flowers added on

For more information, call 47-5122. Yukari no Mori is also a great place for camping, picnics and other get togethers. Fees are reasonable, and there is also a very interesting insect museum.
