Local sakes from Fukui. Paper lanterns from Sakai. Prayer beads from Eiheiji. Silk fabrics from Katsuyama. Kutani ware from Kaga. Each of these industries, and many more, are intimately tied to their region.
Hands-on workshops offer a chance to experience the local artisanal spirit by making their own souvenirs, letting visitors take some of Echizen-Kaga’s history and tradition home with them.
