When you think of Okinawa travel, you think of the "Ryukyu Glass Experience"! Want to make your own original beer glass by hand?

2018/08/31

As with the Shisa-making experience I introduced the other day, I searched around Naha but couldn't find a suitable shop, so I picked up "Handmade Ryukyu Glass Workshop Okinawa Craft Village," a shop in Yomitan Village in the Chubu area that I'm sure I'll stop by on my drive. It's close to Onna Village so it should be easy to get to. I don't know though. I always buy souvenirs at Okashi Goten in Onna Village, so I'll stop by there! Looking at the plan details, it seems like I can experience glassblowing in a full-fledged workshop. This is it, I want to make a beer mug out of this red Ryukyu glass. This unique color or texture, this is the charm of Ryukyu glass. (I don't know the details at all) And, all I know about this plan is that the experience fee includes the instruction fee, but the work you make will be shipped the next day or later, so it seems you can make your own original glass. There's no information on what you can make in particular, but looking at the photos, I have a feeling that you'll end up making something like a cup or glass or something like that lol

2018/05/18

If you want to enjoy the summer in Kyoto, a city with a popular Japanese atmosphere, renting a yukata is economical and convenient!
