Authentic Knife Making Experience at a Blacksmith in Kyoto
4.8 / 5 · 123 traveler reviews
Our professional instructors will help you make your knives in an easy-to-understand way, even if you are a beginner. Some dangerous work is involved, but don't worry. The main event of the experience is “forging''. You will heat the iron hot and red, and shape it repeatedly with a hammer. We will carefully teach you how to use the hammer correctly. Video and photography are also available. If you have any questions about the experience, please feel free to contact us. Children under 15 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
