I enjoyed every part of this tour, but the most fascinating scenes were where the craftsman burnt the surface of the mold to remove dust, and a tin cup appeared out of the broken mold later. The guide Ultraman 62 san explained about the history of the town and every step of the tin cup making, so I could easily understand what was going on. This tour made me want to visit the town and make a tin cup myself someday!!

Traveler

It was interesting to walk through a quiet local residential area with Ultraman, and to see him trying a tin sake cup making at a craft local workshop. I have been to Takaoka city and enjoyed seeing lots of metal artworks on the streets. I was happy to revisit the city online. Thank you for sharing such a nice experience.
