Jennifer's Glass Blowing Experience! 吹きガラス初体験！
I had a blast doing this first glass blowing experience! I cannot wait to go back again to Takumi san's workshop and learn more about glass blowing.
I left all the funny bits and did not edit much as I know that you like my unpretentious style!
It takes only 2 hours by bus from Tokyo station to go to Chikura city.
Glass Fish workshop is about 10 minutes by walk from Chikura station. Very easy access and a good opportunity to enjoy some of Japan's nature and see something else that big cities and buildings!
Here is the link to Glass Fish:
Check out the live stream of the following day when we went to pick up our glasses with my friend. Takumi san showed us his rice field too!
If interested in buying some of the articles, let me know, I will help you with that.
