What You’ll Experience
At Hirata Sword Smith, learn about tamahagane steel and participate in crafting a small katana with the artisans.
The workshop completes the piece, adds the selected finish and engraving, and ships it later. It is not a same-day take-home souvenir.
Wabunka lists an English-speaking guide. Dates are released irregularly, and some months may have no openings. This plan differs from the separate kitchen-knife experience.

- Craft enthusiasts interested in the working process

Hareto’s Take
The Hareto Score of 84 is a provisional editorial score based on listing information, not a firsthand inspection. Confirm physical requirements, clothing and handling guidance with the provider.
