I went to Notojima Glass Studio!

From Wakuraonsen Station, it takes about 30 minutes by Notojima Kotsu Bus (5 minutes from Notojima Aquarium by Notojima Kotsu Bus) to reach Notojima Glass Studio. Notojima Glass Studio is located in the center of Notojima Island, adjacent to "Michi-no-Eki Notojima" (closed during winter) and "Ishikawa Notojima Glass Museum" (temporarily closed due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake).

Try your hand at glass blowing!

Tell the receptionist what shape you want and pay the fee. Choose your favorite shape and color from a selection of glasses, wind chimes, etc. Imagine what you have chosen! Imagine what you have chosen!

At Notojima Glass Studio, artisans are creating works of art every day. Join them and experience the art of glass making. The instructor will gently guide you through the process. First, the instructor puts glass melted at about 1,300 degrees Celsius on the tip of the rod.
A blowpole is placed in the furnace at about 1,300 degrees Celsius.
Since this is a "glass blowing experience," you may think that you will be blowing right away, but be careful. Under the instructor's guidance, the glass is cooled with a wet cloth until it reaches a certain temperature.
The hot glass is cooled with a wet cloth.
Next, on the instructor's cue, they gently blow into the glass. The glass quickly became larger and larger. The glass was then dipped in the melted glass again, cooled, and blown several times.
Finally, the glass is blown into life..!
Finally, it was completed! The vase we were making was a vase for a single flower! The color we chose was green. You can pick up the finished product the next day (or the day after that during peak season), or you can have it delivered to your home for a fee, so you can go home empty-handed!
The finished vase. The green color of the vase looks so beautiful.

Enjoy yourself after the experience!

The Notojima Glass Studio also has a store, so be sure to stop by after your experience! Of course, even if you don't want to experience glass making, you can still purchase a variety of brightly colored glassware, from glasses and cups to necklaces and other small items. Why not find your favorite item?
