Highlight of our trip to Japan so far
If I could give this tour more than a 5.0 rating, I would. We had a great time. I initially wanted to book a full knife making day for me and my son but he is under 18, so that wouldn’t work. It all turned out because we loved the pocket knife making. The tour of the Kiseki factory was fabulous - super interesting. We were treated so well, and everyone was very kind. We were given the little blades and put them together with the handle etc. In the end we came away with wonderful little pocket folding knives a few inches long. After that, we were taken for a fantastic lunch with fresh local food I wouldn’t have known to order. Then, we went to see so many knives and swords, my teen was in heaven. Our guides were warm and helpful. A true pleasure to spend a day with. I absolutely recommend!
