Join the Exciting Koto Ward Festival: Make Your Own Mini Table!

Get ready for an engaging experience at the 44th Koto Ward Festival happening on October 17 and 18, 2026! This event, held at Kiba Park, is not just a festival; it’s a celebration of community and creativity, organized by Maruyama Komuten, a well-respected construction company specializing in custom homes in the Tokyo Koto and Edogawa areas.

Popular Mini Table Workshop

One of the festival's highlights is the mini table-making workshop, which has become immensely popular over the years. Last year, tickets were sold out within minutes! Participants will have the unique chance to engage with wood and learn hands-on skills to create their very own folding mini tables. This initiative aims to foster connections within the community while expressing gratitude to local residents.

Commitment to Community

Maruyama Komuten has dedicated over 70 years to crafting comfortable and reliable homes in Tokyo's Koto and Edogawa districts. The company’s mission focuses on delivering secure and pleasant living conditions tailored to the specific needs of the community. Their involvement in the Koto Ward Festival underlines their commitment to nurturing local relationships and providing valuable learning experiences for children about the joy of crafting and the warmth of wood.

Why the Workshop is So Popular

The mini table workshop, which has been part of the festival since 2017, is characterized by its one-on-one guidance from skilled staff. Each year, the event garners glowing reviews from families who appreciate the safety and learning environment provided. To maintain the workshop’s appeal, only 72 spots will be available each day (36 tables will be made each day), ensuring a personable and thorough experience for every participant.
