Glass Studio Calore
A glassblowing workshop where you can create your very own glass under the guidance of a master artisan.
At a glassblowing studio in Hozu-cho, Kameoka City, you can create your very own glass pieces for everyday use, such as cups and beer glasses. Experienced artisans provide careful, small-group instruction, allowing you to experience the entire process—from selecting your piece to shaping it. Since the pieces are allowed to cool slowly, they will be ready for pickup or shipping the following day or later.

Area & City/Town Introduction (Kameoka City)
Kameoka City has long been the center of Tamba Province. Toward the end of the Sengoku period, Akechi Mitsuhide built Kameyama Castle, and the city flourished as the castle town of the Kameyama Domain.
Today, the city is home to its “Three Major Tourist Attractions”: the “Hozu River Boat Ride,” the “Sagano Torokko Train,” and “Yunohana Onsen.” In addition, visitors can enjoy nature-based activities such as “rafting,” “paragliding,” and “BBQ at the River Station and Waterfront Park,” allowing you to fully experience the unique charms of this area. The area is also blessed with the charms of each season: cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers in spring, bellflowers in summer, cosmos and autumn foliage in fall, and sea of clouds from late fall through early spring.
