You want to know more about how Japanese swords are actually made. But it takes years of training to make a true Japanese sword. Here, however, you can experience becoming a swordsmith even if you have no experience at all. You can even take the small sword you made home with you, making it a perfect souvenir. If you come to Kyoto, be sure to try this experience.
