NOUSAKU Factory

They offer great free tours and workshops. You can book them on the day. They also serve food and their donuts and deserts were delicious.

Highly recommended and where my wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary! Highly recommended for couples at their 10 year anniversary since tin is the metal for 10 years. We had an excellent English speaking guide and I'm thoroughly impressed at the craftsmanship at the factory. I'm happy that they are keeping this art of Japanese metalworking alive for the next generation. We did both the tour and workshop with the chop stick rests shown (I forgot to take a picture of our bowl and plate at the factory). You can show up if you only speak English but make sure to book it online first. The cafe is also tasty. Thank you so much for making our anniversary special!

We were so glad we scheduled half a day just to visit Nousaku. The food in the cafe was great. The cheese tart was one of the best. Megumi was amazing. She was the one helping us book our experience through email. She was also the factory tour guide and workshop instructor. She was super nice and her English was very good. It was a great experience to understand the local industrial economics (metal casting is huge there). We were so impressed with how organized and clean the factory is. The workshop was so much fun. Although my sake cup was a little imperfect, I love it so much because it’s all handmade by me. I also got to learn the texture was expected from sand mould casting. Highly recommended

I had a great time at the Nousaku workshop. We had to make our own tin sake cups. I now know how much effort it take to make Niusaku’s products.

This is a very interesting place. My children and I scheduled a tour. The tour guide spoke English. Afterwards, we made a item. My youngest was too young, but our guide let her help with the demonstration. The restaurant is so good. The bagel plate it amazing. You can eat as many different bagels as you want.
