Blessed with raw materials for pottery clay and glaze, this plan allows you to experience full-scale pottery in Tajimi, a historic pottery town. In addition to abundant materials, the dojo for hands-on experience is equipped with pottery equipment such as electric potter's wheel. We do not decide which works to make, and we will give careful guidance to each customer, both beginners and veterans, so that they can freely make what they like.

A swordsmith will teach you how to make Japanese knives using blacksmith techniques. Using the same material as Japanese swords, Tamahagane, the forged iron is shaped with a hammer. You can make your own clay holder and add a blade crest. Attach the blade, cut your name on it, and sharpen it to complete it. Although it is a physically demanding job, the swordsmith will be happy to assist you, so don't worry if you are not confident in doing the heavy lifting, such as children or women. You can take photos and videos while working! The trial fee is for one Japanese knife. You can also make one book for two or more people. In that case, please let us know how many people will be participating in the experience when making a reservation. If you are making a reservation for three or more, it will take a little longer. Please arrive with plenty of time to spare before the closing time. We may be able to move the start time forward, so please contact us.
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.
Made a Tanto with Yoshida Masaya shishou and apprentice Robert. Had an amazing time and actually planning on coming back to make full sword. Highly recommend the experience to all.

You will spend a whole day making a small scale attached to the Japanese sword. The material is the same as the Japanese sword, and the world's highest grade iron (tamahagane) is used. You can make a soil holder by yourself and insert a blade crest. Attach the blade, cut your name on it, make a scabbard, and sharpen it to complete it. Only at our studio can you experience making a small pattern and sharpening it. You will learn how to make a Japanese sword while working, and you will not know until you experience the work of striking iron to change its shape and create ripples, so I think it will be a great learning experience. We will proceed according to the ability of the person who will experience it, so there is no need to worry about minors and women. Photos and videos can be taken during production! The fee will be the experience fee for one Kozuka. Two or more people can make one. In that case, please let us know when you make a reservation. If you make a reservation for two or more, it will take about an additional hour for each one after the second one. Please join us with plenty of time before the end time. It is also possible to advance the start time, so please contact us. ★We have someone here who can explain things in English, so you don't need an interpreter.

Japanese swords are works of art made of iron. By listening to the explanation of the production process of this work of art that has been handed down since ancient times, you will be able to understand the highlights of swords and the points to appreciate them. You can also observe the forging process (the process of stretching, bending, and gluing steel), which is one of the processes of making Japanese swords. Please take a photo of the sparks. The moment when the sparks fly is only for a moment. It may be difficult to show the process again, so please do not miss it. We recommend the video. In addition, you can experience using a large hammer to strike the iron. We will also accept questions such as why Japanese swords become such hard and strong blades, and why the price differs! If you apply for the "Small knife making experience" or "Kitchen knife making experience" at the same time, you will receive a half price. Please apply from the "Small knife making experience" or "Kitchen knife making experience" options.
祖父母と父親と小学生娘2人で、関の旅行の際に体験させていただきました。 丁寧かつ親切なご説明と体験で、とても素晴らしいひとときでした。 職人さんらしい作業場で、気さくに質問もできて、堅苦しさがなく、なごやかで楽しいひとときでした。

Iron is a human invention. People have walked with iron, as it is said, "Whoever controls iron controls the world." A Japanese sword cannot be made good unless it is made of iron using the traditional ironmaking method. With this plan, you can experience making iron from iron sand using the traditional iron-making method. Repeat the work of cutting charcoal into small pieces and adding iron sand to determine the "steel" part from the finished lump "kera". You can take the finished product home with you. ★We have someone here who can explain things in English, so you don't need an interpreter.

A raft picnic that everyone can enjoy! Lake rafting is a fun experience where you can take your children and pets on the water at the naturally rich Lake Ondaniko.

This is a set plan that allows you to enjoy two activities to your heart's content in one day. A one-day outdoor tour that includes rafting in the morning and caving in the afternoon! [Rafting] Enjoy half the distance of the one-day rafting course. Typical rapids such as Sandan no Se, Crashikari no Se, and Enku no Se are waiting for you. The place you descend varies depending on the season and the course, but exciting rapids await you in a roughly 5km section. [Caving] Enjoy a regular half-day caving course. Caving is an outdoor experience where you climb and descend rocks in the dark by yourself, go through a narrow tunnel, and experience the feeling of an explorer. After you've made your way through the mud, the mysterious spring that is your destination awaits you. *If elementary school children are included, the caving tour will be operated as a family course.

★★Private outdoor SUP experience for one group only★★※※Free boarding for pet dogs※※Lake SUP cruising experience held at a lake in the mountains of Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture. You can leisurely cruise around the lakeside while floating your SUP on the calm water. The lake is surrounded by nature surrounded by rich forests. The lake is less affected by wind, waves, and water currents, so you can experience SUP in stable conditions, so beginners and small children in elementary school can participate with peace of mind. Pets (dogs) are also allowed (free of charge). The guide will give a lecture on how to operate the SUP boat, so anyone can easily learn how to operate it. Basically, each person is free to cruise around the lakeside, and depending on the situation, the guide will guide you through nature, how to play, and you can even try a simple SUP yoga experience. You can play actively or just lie down on the boat and be rocked on the lake surface, and spend your SUP time in your own way.
