Hakodate Children’s Day: Parents & Kids Kite Making and Kite Flying Festival

Hakodate Children’s Day: Parents & Kids Kite Making and Kite Flying Festival

By flying and making kites, which are traditional play for Children’s Day, children learn about the history and structure of kites.
When parents and children work on making kites together, they will feel the difficulty and enjoyment of making things on their own. It is held for the purpose of allowing children to experience a sense of achievement by seeing their kites fly in the sky.
