About this experience

Would you like to enjoy a colorful experience in Japan? Musashi-kosugi, is very close to Tokyo and offers plenty of city fun without the tourist crowds.

We will start with a super kawaii DECO parts shop. The kawaii vibe begins the moment you arrive! You'll get to choose some DECO parts needed for crafting and create a one-of-a-kind key charm or a set of accessories together with a guide who loves DECO. Why not create original souvenirs together as a memory of Japan? Each key charm reflects its own personality, so comparing them is also a lot of fun!

We also explore Musashi-Kosugi which transformed from a rural area into a modern hub with high-rise towers. Despite its rapid development, elements of its historic streetscape remains, harmonizing the old and new beautifully. The last destination is an all-weather shopping mall

The guide will assist you in experiencing Japanese pop culture with an essence of local history while avoiding crowds!
