The Samurai Pick Experience

A Modern Expression of Samurai Craftsmanship

Crafted in Shizuoka — a land long revered by Tokugawa Ieyasu —
where metal artistry continues through generations.

Step inside an active metalworking factory in Shizuoka and experience
Japanese craftsmanship at its source.

Guided by master artisans, guests observe traditional metalworking techniques before creating their own SamuraiPick — a refined, sword-inspired metal pick designed for modern use. Each piece is carefully finished and can be engraved with a name or meaningful word, resulting in a personal object that reflects both skill and story.

This intimate experience is thoughtfully designed to be welcoming for beginners, while offering rare insight into authentic Japanese manufacturing. Suitable for individuals, couples, families, or small groups seeking a deeper connection to craft.
