Waku Waku! Summer Craft Square

Event Overview

"Waku Waku! Summer Craft Square" is a seasonal event held in front of the Sawada Yusui Nature House at Hitachi Seaside Park. This hands-on experience is perfect for children to dive into various crafts and enjoy traditional Japanese summer activities like Yo-Yo fishing. It is a wonderful way to spend time in a beautiful, open natural environment while fostering creativity.

Depending on the day, children can try making kaleidoscopes, telescopes, insect-themed toy guns, or even planetarium bottles. Additionally, the daily Yo-Yo fishing is a massive hit with children.
