Opis
Hammer a pattern into your own copper cup in Tsubame, see a 200-year hammered-copper workshop, then visit Yahiko Shrine and ride the ropeway up Mt Yahiko.
We pick up your group at your hotel in Niigata city at about 09:00. Your English-speaking driver-guide (Hindi and Urdu also available) takes you to Tsubame, a small town famous across Japan for metal craft. The heart of the day is a hands-on workshop where you hammer a pattern into your own copper cup. You take home what you make.
About 10:00 - Tsubame Industrial Materials Museum (about 1.5 hours). See how Tsubame went from making nails to fine copper ware and cutlery. Then the workshop: with a small hammer you tap a pattern into a copper cup, one strike at a time.
About 11:45 - Gyokusendo (about 45 minutes). A hammered copper workshop with about 200 years of history. Watch craftsmen beat a single copper sheet into a teapot in the shop gallery.
About 12:45 - Lunch in Tsubame (own cost). Tsubame-style ramen with thick noodles and pork back fat is local, and other choices are nearby.
About 14:00 - Yahiko Shrine (about 1 hour). A large forest shrine at the foot of Mt Yahiko, loved in Niigata for over 1,000 years.
About 15:00 - Yahiko Ropeway (about 1 hour). Ride up the mountain for a view of the Echigo plain and, on clear days, Sado Island.
About 16:30 - Drive back to Niigata, arriving at about 17:00.
On the day you can swap the copper cup for a mirror-polished tumbler class at Migakiya Ichibankan on weekdays, or change the order.
This is a private tour. Only your group.
If the Tsubame copper workshop is closed or cancelled on your date, your driver-guide takes you to a similar place nearby instead. If you prefer, we can instead book the metal polishing class at Migakiya Ichibankan in Tsubame.
