Miyadaiku Carpenter Experience
Yokohama is a city where its historic neighborhoods blend seamlessly with cutting-edge contemporary culture. Today, we are introducing a unique tour which offers an immersive experience of both the old and the new cultures of this vibrant city. The highlight of the tour is the rare opportunity to apprentice with a “Miyadaiku”—traditional Japanese temple and shrine carpenter—a craft with over 1,400 years of history and recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The hands-on Miyadaiku experience is provided in partnership with Hanamasu Woodworks Co., Ltd. You’ll take part at their Yokohama workshop, at an active wooden construction site in Kanagawa Prefecture, or at a specialized processing facility for temple and shrine architecture. Under the guidance of skilled Miyadaiku artisans, you will learn firsthand about the deep traditions and sophisticated techniques of Japanese wooden architecture.
The experience begins with putting on traditional Miyadaiku attire and learning the meaning behind it. You’ll then observe the artisans’ masterful skills up close and try your hand at “kanna shaving” under the instruction of a master carpenter. At the end of the tour, you’ll receive a symbolic Miyadaiku Apprentice Certificate as a special keepsake.
Surrounded by the scent and texture of wood and the soothing sound of tools in use, you’ll awaken your senses during this deeply rewarding experience. This is a rare opportunity to engage with Japanese culture from a fresh perspective. Why not explore the sustainable and ever-evolving traditions of Japan through this unforgettable “Miyadaiku Tourism” experience?

It’s an ideal destination for a relaxing and contemplative stroll.
Out of the 17 historic structures found throughout the garden, 10 have been designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan, and the entire garden itself is recognized as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.
One of the highlights of summer at Sankeien is the blooming of lotus flowers. During peak season, the large pond becomes a sea of soft pink blossoms.
