When people hear "Seki City," many immediately think of it as the "City of Blades." With over 700 years of history in traditional Japanese swords smithing and world-class modern cutlery technology, Seki offers visitors profound inspiration and learning through authentic manufacturing experiences, such as factory tours and knife sharpening workshops. This truly represents a unique and unparalleled value.

Seki's appeal extends to its breathtaking natural beauty, particularly within Gifu Prefecture, known as the "Land of Clear Streams." Highlights include the astonishingly clear "Nameless Pond," often called Monet's Pond, and the mystical "Rays of Light" over the Itadori River that appear under specific conditions.

Furthermore, Seki boasts a rich tapestry of historical temples and shrines like Seki Zenkouji and Nichiryubuji, serene rural landscapes that offer a glimpse into local life, and a vibrant food culture. This includes eel dishes - historically a source of energy for blade artisans - as well as delicious ayu (sweetfish) and log-grown shiitake mushrooms.

At the Seki City Tourism Association, we are eager to assist you in developing diverse model itineraries that combine these varied tourism resources to meet your target audience's needs and preferences. Seki also serves as an excellent base for multi-destination tours, with convenient access from Nagoya, Gifu, and the Hokuriku region.

We, the Seki City Tourism Association, sincerely look forward to collaborating with you to create new tourism value, offering your customers a truly special journey to experience "Authentic Japan."
