Tour Description

In this activity you can experience traditional Japanese craft culture through “Kaji”. In a contemporary society that emphasizes digital networks, old handicraft techniques have become far from everyday life. You can experience blacksmith cutlery production as inherited from ancient times in Japan at “Tatara Iron & Steel Forging Workshop Kurogane,” surrounded by the Shimanto River area of Kochi Prefecture, with mountains and river wilderness in abundance. Imagine crafting your own knife or scissors from steel, using fire and ancient Japanese techniques. You can commemorate your wedding, or remember your trip, through engraving.
