Seal carving was introduced from China during the Song and Ming dynasties and became a major trend among artists during the Edo period. You can experience making your own one-of-a-kind seal. It is a great activity for children and makes for a wonderful souvenir. You can use it for a wide range of purposes, such as stamping your calligraphy, paintings, or letters. This experience allows you to get a close-up feel for the downtown atmosphere and daily life of Otaru. It is located just a 6-minute walk from JR Otaru Station, making it easily accessible on foot.
