Ozu Washi — Japanese paper-making workshop
小津和紙 手漉き和紙体験
Nihonbashi · near Shin-Nihonbashi (JR) / Mitsukoshimae (Metro)
A historic Nihonbashi washi merchant (founded 1653) whose ground-floor studio runs ~45-minute hand-papermaking sessions. There is also a small free washi gallery upstairs.
Why children love it: Scoop pulp on a bamboo screen and make a real sheet of washi paper to take home.
