Toyama Glass Studio 富山ガラス工房
Make your own original glasswork like no other in the world!
Toyama is known for its glasswork, and Toyama Glass Studio is a hub for Toyama’s glassworking scene. You can watch glassworkers creating their masterpieces in the studio, see original pieces for exhibit or sale in the shop-cum-gallery and even make your own original blown glass or paperweight! Then stop for a rest at GlassxCafe Clie. The studio is located at the foot of Mt. Kureha, surrounded by natural beauty that heightens the relaxing feeling of seeing, touching and trying your hand at glasswork.
