    町と多摩美の協力で発足したガラス工房。 作品販売もしていますが、吹きガラス体験もあります。体験は確か中学生以上対象だったかと。 一輪挿しや、グラス、クリーマーなどの種類と、組み込む色ガラスを選べます。 指導してくれるスタッフは若く、多摩美の学生さんかもしれませんが元気よく気持ちが良いです。 出来上がりを数日後に取りに行くか、送料追加で郵送になるので複数人で遠方の方は発送先を1箇所にまとめるのがオス...

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
