It makes and sells Satsuma Kiriko, a style of cut glass created in the Satsuma Domain near at the end of the Edo period. Satsuma Kiriko is characterized by the appealing graduations between the clear glass and the vibrant colored glass created by hand by skilled artisans. The attached workshop offers glasswork experiences including glass cutting, sandblasting, and wind chime painting.

Kagoshima Areas

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
