Experience Craftsman Skills in a Workshop!
Factories are places where various things are born daily, filled with the passion and pride of artisans in their craft. We rarely have the opportunity to see the actual workplaces where manufacturing takes place, as they are usually closed off. The "Tsubame-Sanjo Factory Festival" offers such an opportunity, allowing visitors to tour and experience these work sites for five days only.



The event is held in the Tsubame-Sanjo area of Niigata Prefecture. Located in the central part of Niigata Prefecture, along the Shinano River basin, this region boasts a tradition of manufacturing. This time, a total of 54 factories across the area will be open to the public. The categories are also diverse, including metal, wood, paper, and food.



During the festival, factories will be open, and participants can experience manufacturing firsthand through workshops held at each location. The overall supervision is byYu Yamadaand his team at "method."



This is a rare and valuable event for anyone interested in manufacturing, those who wish to speak with artisans, or aspiring craftspeople.
