There are places throughout Japan where glass culture has taken root. Okinawa is known for its brightly colored Ryukyu glass, Toyama and Kurobe are home to many glass workshops, Hakone is an art town, and Aomori is a place where the tradition of glass crafts lives on.
You can enjoy the popular glassblowing experience at this “sacred place for glass.”
In the experience, you will take molten glass out of a high-temperature furnace and blow into it to create a shape. Even first-timers can feel at ease as the craftsmen will provide one-on-one support.
You can create a one-of-a-kind piece by choosing your favorite color and shape of glasses, vases, plates, ornaments, etc.
The heat of the fire, the feel of the glass stretching, and the beauty of the overlapping colors.
The “creation process” itself is an experience that will become a memory of your trip.
The finished product can be picked up or delivered at a later date, making it ideal as a souvenir or gift.
Please enjoy a special creative time where you can experience the art and traditional techniques of your travel destination.
