What you can expect

  • Begin your experience with a pickup from Seki Station or make your own way to the meeting point. A dedicated English-speaking host explains everything throughout and also drives you to and from Seki Station, making the experience easy and engaging for international visitors.

    Stand just steps from the forge as tamahagane, the same steel used for samurai swords, is heated and hammered, and feel the sparks, heat, and ringing rhythm of the hammer up close. It's a powerful, immersive window into one of Japan's most revered traditional crafts.

    Watch the swordsmith heat and hammer the steel through the forging (tanren) and fire-forming (hizukuri) stages, up close. After the demonstration, return to Seki Station or continue your exploration of the area.
