Product Info

Discover Sakai, Osaka's historic city of craftsmanship, traditional tea culture, and local artisans.

Begin by discovering Sakai's renowned knife-making heritage through a traditional workshop, factory visit, or blacksmith exhibition, depending on availability.

Continue to the Old Yamaguchi Residence, a historic merchant house dating back to 1615, and discover the atmosphere of old Sakai.

Next, craft your own incense using upcycled matcha, shaping it into miniature kofun tombs and haniwa figures inspired by Sakai's ancient heritage.

Finish with a traditional matcha experience guided by a tea master, discovering the tea culture shaped by Sakai's legendary master, Sen no Rikyu.

We can usually fit two to three stops in, depending on the day.

We move from place to place by local tram, so bring your IC card to travel around.
