From Tokyo: Tsubame-Sanjo Copper & Knife Workshop Day

Title as written by PAK LAND CO., LTD.

Before you book

Private, about 13 hours, with pickup at 06:00 from your Tokyo hotel or address (23 wards). The price is for the whole group of up to 6 people.
Included: the private van and driver-guide, fuel, tolls and parking, water, the Gyokusendo copper workshop with your copper cup, and the Sanjo Kajidojo forge class with your blade. Lunch (curry ramen in Sanjo) is at your own cost.
Both workshops mean standing at a bench with hand tools and some heat from the forge: wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind marking. It does not run on Sundays, when the workshops close.
If a workshop cannot run on your date, the operator offers a full refund. Guide languages listed: English, Hindi, Urdu. No reviews yet. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Good to Know

Departs 06:00, a thirteen-hour day. Both workshops involve standing at a bench with hand tools and some heat from the forge, so wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting a little marked. Factories and workshops are closed on Sundays, so this trip does not run that day. Runs year-round otherwise. If something included cannot run on your date because of weather, closure or availability, you get a full refund of your booking, guaranteed; we only offer an alternative if you prefer it
