Ishikawa
This is an experience workshop where you can make a one-of-a-kind ring in a renovated 100-year-old stone storehouse. The bright, white-toned interior is reminiscent of an art museum, and you can relax and enjoy the experience sitting at one of the tables or sofas. The simple process of hammering the ring and spreading it out to create a pattern is easy for anyone, from children to adults, to participate in, and the experience takes about 60 minutes. The ring is ready to take home immediately after the experience, making it an ideal keepsake from the trip.
The last thing I'm worried about when I'm planning to go out is the weather. Indoor facilities can relieve you from such worries. How you enjoy it depends on your plan, such as art galleries and museums related to the area, hot springs with a rich local flavor, and factory tours. Why not plan some indoor leisure time with your family or as a couple?
