Making chochin lanterns colouring seasonal events
 To make chochin lanterns to be commoner as it is getting less familiar to people’s lives, the shop began the painting experience programme in which you can write characters and draw a picture on a lantern as you like. As for the self-standing type, you can easily bring it back home and enjoy its gentle light. 

Since its establishment in 1895, Kadota Chochin Lantern Shop has dealt with paper lanterns indispensable to Hakata’s culture and events such as Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival, Hakata Dontaku Festival’s parades, and the beautiful large lantern of Kushida Shrine. Happi coats are available for dress-up photo. It will be a perfect stop to create memories of Hakata.
