Jewelry Workshop Tour in Kofu

Kofu City is the 'gem city,' accounting for approximately 30% of Japan's jewelry industry. In the city's polishing workshops, you can observe the entire process from rough stones through cutting and polishing to finished gemstones with craftsmen's explanations. The popular experience course lets you polish a quartz crystal and turn it into a pendant. The Jewelry Museum displays gems from around the world, and the adjacent shop offers jewelry at workshop direct sale prices.
