Hi, I’m Tabi!

Former Shippo joined Ama in the 2010 merger. Discover its craft heritage through cloisonne displays and a signpost bearing the name of the production area.

This guide covers the original Shippo GID within present-day Ama, rather than all of Ama or places beside your check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Cloisonne Production-Area Signpost

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Mitsukoshi, a confectioner in Kawabe, offers dorayaki and seasonal Japanese sweets. Consider a snack or a small gift after exploring. Ask the shop about seasonal availability and allergen ingredients.
