Haneda Airport’s Craft Craze

Traditional Japanese crafts are becoming increasingly popular among tourists. Their delicate craftsmanship and colors are attracting many foreign visitors to a specialty store at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. 🌸✨

The popularity of such crafts is also being boosted by the weak yen. Japan Mastery Collection, a specialty shop that opened at Haneda's Terminal 3 last December, has seen a number of tourists stopping by and admiring its wide array of items. Among the products, Sanuki Kagari Temari hand balls, Tsugaru Vidro glassworks, and Kutaniyaki porcelain are particularly eye-catching. 🏮🧵

With the rising popularity, officials hope that foreign nationals who get to know Japan through these crafts will visit the regions where they are made. 🇯🇵💼

Would you buy traditional crafts as souvenirs on your next trip? 🤔
