Experience Details


When you visit Sun Optical, you'll first tour the workshop where the glasses are made. You'll learn about the processes involved in creating your own pair of glasses and gain insight into the knowledge and depth of craftsmanship behind eyewear making.



After the tour, you'll move to the gallery & cafe "Kijin Megane Exhibition." In the gallery, you can see various glasses Takekawa has made over the years and even try them on.

 

Relax at the cafe while discussing with Mr. Takeuchi what kind of glasses you want to create. Together, you'll carefully decide on the "direction" for your glasses.

Relax at the cafe and discuss with Takeuchi-san what kind of glasses you want to create. Carefully decide on the "direction" together.



Once your frame arrives, it won't have lenses installed. Please have them fitted at an optician near your home. And just like that, your very own special pair of glasses is complete!



Glasses are such an important element that they can be considered part of your face, representing who you are.
Why not consult with Mr. Takeuchi to find glasses that bring out your individuality and hidden charm?

※If you're unsure about which optician to use for lens insertion, Takai-san will be happy to advise you, so please rest assured.
