Seki City in Gifu Prefecture is one of the world's three great cutlery-producing regions, a unique city in Japan where the tradition and innovation of Japanese sword making, inherited over 700 years since the Middle Ages, still thrive. Seki offers not just "objects" in the form of blades, but an "experience" encompassing the master craftsmanship, profound history and culture, and the passion of the artisans behind them.

These experiences, unique to Seki, the "City of Blades," create an unforgettable special journey. They include: demonstrations of Japanese sword forging where master swordsmiths make sparks fly; authentic knife sharpening where you can personally feel the sharpness of world-class blade technology alive today; and the creation of your own one-of-a-kind Damascus-patterned knife.

Furthermore, Seki City offers a wealth of experiences beyond cutlery, such as "Nameless Pond" (commonly known as Monet's Pond), boasting breathtaking beauty; the classical spectacle of "Oze Ukai" (cormorant fishing), with a history spanning over a thousand years; and activities leveraging the natural beauty of clear streams and satoyama (traditional Japanese countryside).

Why not enjoy an exciting, extraordinary experience in Seki City, Japan's top city for blades?
