The Tsubame-Sanjo Factory Festival is an event in which the factories in the Tsubame-Sanjo area - renowned for producing quality products such as knives, cooking tools, farm equipment and carpentry tools - open their doors to the public. Whilst visitors are not usually allowed to enter the factories during operating hours, the festival will offer an opportunity to get a close up view of the artisans at work. Visitors will also be able to make products by participating in various workshops.
