We had an awesome time at the knife making experience in master Masaya Yoshidas workshop. One of his apprentices, Robert, a native English speaker, instructed and helped us all the way to the finished product. We love the knife and now use it in our Kitchen on a daily basis. Robert also answered every question we had about the rich history behind the craft of Japanese sword making and we got to observe and chat with the master too. Your knife is made from the same Tamagahane steel as a Katana, so it's a really cool and practical souvenir. Thank you so much for having us! Great memories!

A swordsmith will teach you the techniques of Japanese sword making and spend a whole day making a short sword with a blade length of less than 30 cm. During the experience, charcoal cutting, tamaheshi, tsutsubokashi, forging, unbending, fire making, soil placement, quenching, and blacksmith sharpening will be performed. The sword will then be registered and sharpened at a later date, and will be shipped to your home along with a registration certificate. If you select an option, you can also choose a Japanese sword such as a wakizashi (large) (small), katana, or tachi. Registration, packaging, and shipping fees are all included in the price. *Due to the Firearms and Swords Possession Control Act, the swordsmith will engrave the swordsmith's name on the sword. It is possible to engrave the participant's name as well. In addition, registration and sharpening are required, so it will take 6 to 9 months to deliver the sword. *The address, name, and phone number are required for the owner's details for the registration review and for shipping the finished product. If they are different from those registered with Activity Japan, please be sure to contact us here. If there is no contact, we will register and ship the sword as is. *If shipping overseas, please check for yourself whether the country can receive Japanese swords. In addition, export procedures, packaging fees, and shipping fees will be required separately. The amount varies depending on the country, so please contact us in advance. Payment will be made in cash on the day. *Damaged or scratched acrylic cases cannot be repaired, so please handle them carefully.

とても楽しかったです。 枯山水は作り始めると夢中になりました。 キャッキャッ言いながら楽しく体験できました。 そのあとのお抹茶と和菓子でホッとしながら作った枯山水を眺めると京都だなぁとしみじみ感じました。 侘び寂びとは程遠い仕上がりでしたが、たくさん写真を撮って良い記念になりました。

Fuji, in Hakone City, and is a famous tourist spot in Hakone. Owakudani, a popular tourist destination in Japan, is the remains of a crater formed by a large eruption that occurred on the northern slope of Kamiyama about 4,000 years ago at the end of the Hakone volcanic activity. Most of the spring water in Owakudani is poisonous, so it is also called "Great Hell". It was not until Emperor Meiji visited in 1876 that the name was changed to Owakudani.

ツアー前日に待ち合わせ場所とツアーガイド名、車のナンバーが入った確認メールが来ます。東京駅周辺はよく行くので場所はすぐに分かりましたが同じツアー会社で行き先の違うグループがたくさんあるのでかなり混雑していてガイドさん見つけるのに時間がかかります。最低でも15分前には着いていた方がいいです。ガイドさん同士も顔見知りではないので同じ会社でも名前だけでは分からないみたいです。今回はかなりの少人数だった為、観光バスではなく10人乗りの大型車でした。しかもガイドさん兼ドライバーなので目的地と滞在時間の簡単な案内のみでした。まぁ自分で調べられるし行きたい所も決まっていたので問題はありませんでした。交通渋滞で待ち合わせ時間が後ろ倒しになったりもしましたが都度SMSで連絡をくれたので混乱もありませんでした。一人で電車やバスを乗り継いで行くのは大変なので車であちこち回れてとても良かったです。天気が良くて富士山も綺麗に見えました。帰りは爆睡でしたが道路がかなり混んでたみたいで7時半頃に東京駅に到着。旅行最終日に計画されてる人は余裕をもっておいた方が良さそうです。ガイドの阿扎さんどうもありがとうございます。 長時間お疲れ様でした。
