We welcome both first-time visitors and repeat guests. This is a rare opportunity to experience traditional Japanese craftsmanship that you won’t find on typical Kyoto tours. During the factory visit, you'll observe expert artisans at work, and in the workshop, you'll become a craftsperson yourself by creating a one-of-a-kind goshuincho. After the experience, we encourage you to enjoy Kyoto’s temples with your personally made stamp book in hand.

We loved all the experiences. The factory owner met us in the beautiful gift shop. Her English is great. The tour of the factory was very interesting. We watched how the talented people used machines to facilitate their work. At the end we made our own books. That was the most fun. Afterwards we had a picnic lunch in the park next door. Note that Google Maps brings you to the middle of the street but you have to keep walking to the end of the street.
