I was very appreciative of the help Niko gave in making the bamboo lantern. She explained the bamboo industry is diminishing, a craft project will help a little.

We had a great time creating our lanterns, combining patterns to make them one-of-a-kind. It was a perfect way to relax after a busy day of sight seeing. We really enjoyed meeting Masa and learning a bit about the history of Beppu. Massa also pointed the way and even made us a reservation at an excellent izakaya where we had some great local dishes. Highly recommend this.
