4.0

The Ryuhyo Glass Museum is located a one-minute walk away from the rest area on Route 39 in Abashiri City. At the museum they have glass workshops, a shop and a cafe. The glass raw material used is mainly recycled glass of waste fluorescent lamps called Eco Pirika. Eco stands for ecology while Pirika means ‘true’ and ‘beautiful’ in the Ainu language. The fluorescent light bulbs are not imported but collected and recycled from municipalities and companies across the country to make the raw material. You can have a go at blowing glass and making glass beads, making for some great memories of your travels.
