At the Tsugaru Traditional Craft Centre, there are 7 studios for traditional Tsugaru crafts and performing arts such as lacquered ware and Kuroishi Neputa. Visitors can look around and try hand-made crafts or enjoy the live performances of Tsugaru-jamisen regularly held. The Tsugaru Kokeshi Doll Museum annexed to the store demonstrates how Kokeshi doll is made, and visitors can experience Kokeshi doll making.
