Unique Insight into Sakai’s Knife-Making Tradition
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour! Our guide, Remy, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Sakai’s history, particularly its knife-making tradition. Watching skilled artisans turn raw material into handmade knives was a rare privilege, and the opportunity to learn sharpening techniques firsthand was a highlight. We purchased a beautifully crafted knife, and we now truly appreciate the craftsmanship behind these high-quality tools. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and immersive cultural experience.
Once in a lifetime opportunity
My friend and I had an incredible time on our tour. It was just the two of us, so we ended up getting a private tour. We got to meet people that we never would have had the chance to meet otherwise. The knife workshop is so cool!!!!! What a rare look at a master craftsmen's workspace. Everyone was so welcoming to us; you can tell the tour company has a great relationship with the local businesses it coordinates with for these experiences. Also I had the softest, freshest, most delicious mochi that I have ever had (and likely ever will have) on this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. If you are even slightly considering booking this tour-- do it. You will not be disappointed.
