Konpeito is a kind of sugar candy that was imported to Japan from Portugal in the 16th century. A visit to this museum includes many activities like meeting the manager of the Konpeito Petit Museum, who is dressed like a Portuguese of old, and asking him why the candy has such a unique shape and how to make it. You can also join the Museum's program to bake "karumera," a Japanese traditional sugar confectionery, and draw a picture with colorful sugar powder. At the Museum shop, Japanese traditional confectionery items are available at reasonable prices. It is recommended that you visit Konpeito Museum in groups of 10 persons or more.
