About TAKUMI ROAD
The TAKUMI ROAD is attracting attention in Japan as a new travel route that shows how Japanese craftsmanship has been nurtured. TAKUMI means master craftsmen who have excellent skills. Such craftsmen are working at their workshops situated along a route that extends from Niigata Prefecture to Toyama and Fukui prefectures in the Hokuriku region along the Sea of Japan coast of Honshu (main island).
This route connecting historical towns, where master craftsmen and others have nurtured their own culture and traditional industries, is known as the TAKUMI ROAD.
The committee hopes many people will take a virtual trip along the TAKUMI ROAD to enjoy beautiful scenery and unique culture as well as these masters' craftsmanship.
