Overview

You can go cycling through the streets of this manufacturing town, and visit some local workshops which are usually closed to the public, and witness the craftsmanship up close.

On this tour, you'll ride a high-performance e-Bike, slicing through the breeze as you're guided to historical workshops and local spots that are usually inaccessible, thanks to the unique insights of a local tour guide. Moreover, you will get a tiny-size machete as a gift from a craftsman.

Throughout the tour, you are able to experience the dedication and craftsmanship of artisans while gaining a deeper understanding of life in the Tsubame-Sanjo area. The activity is available for both solo travellers and groups.

Munetoshi Sickle Works A One-of-a-Kind Sickle for Those Who Want the Best Founded in 1907, Munetoshi Sickle Works is one of the few factories in Sanjo City that still manufactures sickles. Koichi Tsurumaki, the third-generation craftsman with over 50 years of blacksmithing experience, continues to handcraft each sickle with a dedication to quality, earning him recognition as a certified traditional craftsman. The sickles, made with high-quality steel that offers excellent sharpness and ease of sharpening, are available in thin, medium, and thick varieties to suit different purposes, from soft grass cutting to trimming small branches.
