A really charming way to spend a rainy afternoon. I liked that I could pause at any point and pick it up again the next evening. I would do this one again just for the building experience.

The Story Behind It
The last shutters on the street are closing, but the Corner Tavern is only just waking up. The bartender stands behind rows of tiny bottles, a guest lingers upstairs, and the dog by the door keeps watch while the old wooden mechanism carries the tavern through another night.

FAQs
Quick answers before you build.
What's Inside The Box?
Each kit brings together precision-cut wooden parts, DIY materials and illustrated, step-by-step English instructions. Pre-printed details and LED lighting components are included where they’re part of the design.
We also add practical extras such as tweezers and selected building tools to many of our kits. These extras vary with the design and its assembly method. Due to shipping safety restrictions, glue and batteries are not included. Please prepare your own if needed.
Will Items Ship Together?
Your order may arrive in multiple packages if:
- Items ship from different warehouses (US/UK/AU...)
- Large orders require separate boxes
But don't worry! You'll receive:
• Individual tracking numbers
• Shipping notifications for each package
• Priority consolidation when possible
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Our light-up designs include LED lighting components to bring your miniature scene to life with a warm glow.
Some kits use USB power, while others use batteries; the power source is marked on each product page. USB-powered kits need to stay plugged in. For battery-powered kits, please prepare your own batteries in the type specified for the kit.
Is This Beginner-friendly?
Absolutely! Our kits are designed for crafters at all levels. Each comes with:
- Color-coded components for easy identification
- Illustrated instructions with magnified detail views

How Long Does It Take To Build?
Building times range from 3-20 magical hours depending on:
• Kit complexity
• Your preferred pace (many enjoy spreading over cozy weekends)
• Optional detailing like custom painting
Most crafters tell us the process is wonderfully relaxing - pour some tea, play soft music, and watch your tiny world come alive!
Do I need any extra tools?
Please have a pair of scissors ready, plus your own craft glue if your kit needs it and batteries if it is battery powered.
We provide tweezers, and selected kits also include other small assembly tools. Glue-free designs may include adhesive stickers or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue. Glue and batteries are not supplied due to shipping safety restrictions.
What Kind Of Glue Should I Use?
Please prepare your own glue if your kit requires it, as glue is not supplied due to shipping safety restrictions. These are useful options:
- White PVA craft glue — a good choice for paper and wooden pieces.
- Clear-drying craft adhesive — choose one labelled as suitable for the specific materials you’re joining.
Test a small, hidden area first and follow the adhesive’s directions for application and drying. Some glue-free designs use the included stickers or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue.
What If A Part Is Missing Or Damaged?
We carefully inspect every kit before shipping. However, if any part arrives missing or damaged, please submit a request through our Parts Replacement Service page.
We offer one free parts replacement within 90 days for every order.
You can also contact us directly at contact@hinooki.com, and our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Are These Kits Suitable for Children?
Our kits are designed for teenagers aged 14 and over, as well as adults.
They include small parts and detailed assembly steps, so they are not intended for young children. For teens and adults, building together can be a rewarding, creative activity to share.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 18 reviews.
The whole process felt calm, focused, and surprisingly fun. Everything was organized well, so I did not spend ages hunting for pieces. Would happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys patient, hands-on projects.
This was exactly the kind of quiet project I needed. I appreciated being able to customize a few details as I went along. Even the back and side areas have thoughtful little touches. The materials felt sturdier than I expected and nothing arrived damaged. Would happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys patient, hands-on projects.
The dark wood and green front look even better together once it is built. Cozy, slightly mysterious, and not overly cute.
This feels more like a proper model-building project than a quick craft kit. Exactly what I wanted, and the finished tavern has real presence.
I bought this as a screen-free project and it absolutely delivered. The pieces released cleanly and most of them fit with a nice snug click. The finished piece catches my eye every time I walk past it. It took me several evenings because I refused to rush the delicate parts. It made a thoughtful gift, and the recipient was thrilled.
A really charming way to spend a rainy afternoon! The pieces released cleanly and most of them fit with a nice snug click. Really pleased with how it turned out.
The finished piece made all the careful little steps worth it. It was detailed enough to stay interesting without feeling impossible. The finished result has so much depth that I keep noticing something new. I liked that I could pause at any point and pick it up again the next evening. I keep turning the light on just to admire it.
At first, not gonna lie, I was a little intimidated at first, but it came together beautifully! Some sections needed concentration, but that was part of the enjoyment. A lovely result and a really enjoyable process.
Not gonna lie, I was a little intimidated at first, but it came together beautifully. I used a tiny amount of glue in a couple places just for extra security. It made a thoughtful gift, and the recipient was thrilled.
I took my time with this and enjoyed nearly every step! The materials felt sturdier than I expected and nothing arrived damaged. I would do this one again just for the building experience.
Very enjoyable to assemble and even nicer once everything was in place! I keep turning the light on just to admire it.
The whole process felt calm, focused, and surprisingly fun. Five stars from me — no question.
My favorite detail is the sleeping cat above the sign. Everyone notices the gears first, then spots the cat later.
The instructions made sense once I laid everything out by section. The fitted wooden pieces came together cleanly and I never felt rushed.
Made this over a rainy weekend with my sister. We argued over the tiny bottles, then spent ten minutes watching the mechanism run 😅
The touch control is neat: lights, movement and music together without a visible switch. Very satisfying after a long build.
I had a genuinely lovely time putting this together! I liked that I could pause at any point and pick it up again the next evening. I am already looking forward to making another one.
