You can purchase favorite items on the spot, making it perfect for gift shopping too. Starting here to grasp the full picture of the production area before heading to factory tours will double the enjoyment of your day.
Tips
Free parking and strollers welcome. The spoon-polishing experience (fee, around a few hundred yen) is easy for children to try and makes a nice souvenir. While you can shop again on the way out, it's helpful to jot down items of interest to avoid getting lost.
