1. Workshop tour
The Echizen Sabae area in Fukui Prefecture has produced a wide variety of products such as lacquerware and washi paper for many years. During the RENEW period, you can freely enter and exit more than 80 workshops and shops. The appeal of RENEW is that you can see actual work in the workshop and communicate directly with the craftsmen who have been involved in making the products. Come experience the passion of our craftsmen.

One of the real pleasures of RENEW is the workshops held by each company with their own unique ideas. This is a valuable opportunity to experience techniques while listening to explanations from craftsmen. Enjoy hands-on crafting activities such as lacquer painting, paper making, and making original glasses.

3.RENEW TRAVEL STAND

RENEW TRAVEL STAND is a drink stand where you can enjoy drinks with local products and discuss how to get around RENEW and the workshops you want to visit. The staff will talk to you about the workshops and craftsmen who make the products that serve drinks, and recommend the workshop that suits you. Why not stop by and find some tips to make your trip more enjoyable?
