Glass craft has been thriving in the Seto region since the 1870s. Seto is Japan's largest production area for glass raw materials. Why not try a private glass-blowing experience under the guidance of a skilled glass artisan with over 45 years of experience?
In the glass-blowing experience, you will first choose the shape, color, and pattern of the glass. Next, under the guidance of a skilled artisan, you will create your own original glass piece.
You will be responsible for about 70% of the production process. The artisan will ensure safety and quality. You can also take photos and videos of the creation process.
After the experience, the glass will be cooled and finished. You can either return the next day to pick it up or have it shipped to your accommodation in Japan. (Additional shipping fees apply. International shipping is also available.)
- During the production process, you can enjoy conversations with the artisan and learn about the life and stories of Seto.
- Available for ages 5 and up. The price is the same as for adults.
