Chokoku no Yakata

Overview

Located in the heart of Misasa Onsen, Chokoku no Yakata (literally, the Carved Tofu Museum) offers a unique and surprising art experience. This free-admission gallery showcases intricate carvings made from Koya-dofu (freeze-dried tofu) by a culinary artist. The delicate, ivory-like sculptures are a fascinating display of skill and creativity, reminiscent of traditional Japanese vegetable carving techniques. Situated in the Yunomachi Gallery, it's an easy stop while exploring the Misasa hot spring town. The gallery is accessible for viewing even when closed, thanks to its glass-fronted display. A quick visit offers a memorable glimpse into this unusual art form.
