This tour takes you to a specialty knife shop near the famous sightseeing spot Ryugado Cave, as well as to workshops of master blacksmiths who forge knives here in the prefecture. It is a unique opportunity to purchase handcrafted knives made by swordsmiths using the same traditional forging techniques once used to create samurai swords — something even many Japanese people rarely have the chance to see. Custom-made original knives can also be ordered. From household kitchen knives to high-end professional tools, there is a wide range of products available, ensuring that every visitor can find something special. This experience is especially ideal for small family groups and intellectually curious travelers who want to gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. As a knowledgeable local guide, I can provide detailed historical and cultural insights throughout the tour. We travel by private car, so the schedule can also be adjusted flexibly according to your interests and pace.
