Renew

An Event That Invites Visitors to See Artisans’ Workshops

RENEW is an industrial tourism event held in Sabae City, Echizen City, and Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture, aimed at creating sustainable communities. During the event, workshops and companies from seven local industries—Echizen Lacquerware, Echizen Washi Paper, Echizen Knives, Echizen Tansu Chests, Echizen Pottery, Eyewear, and Textiles—open their doors simultaneously. Through tours and workshops, the general public can learn about the artisans' passion and background, experience the techniques firsthand, and enjoy purchasing products.


*Please note that the details below refer to the 2025 edition of the event. The event is held every year; details on the next edition to come soon.


The 11th edition, "RENEW/2025," will feature 123 participating companies.

As a first for RENEW/2025, an information center will be added to the Echizen City Imadate Washi area, expanding from the single center previously only in the lacquerware area. New content includes the "OFFICIAL TOUR" and "FOOD&CRAFT RESTAURANT." Riding the momentum of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension, we'll ensure smooth visitor mobility with services like the "RENEW Taxi" for affordable travel within the production area and the "RENEW Shuttle Bus" for touring the region.

Concurrently with RENEW, we will hold the inaugural "KOGEICOMMONS empowered by MUFG," gathering open factory events from 11 groups across Japan. The convergence of skills and wisdom from different regions will foster dialogue among makers and with visitors, creating a space to collectively nurture the future of Japanese craftsmanship.

Additionally, we plan to host the "Localism Expo Fukui - Town/People/Work" market, gathering players from across Japan engaged in socially significant activities, and talk events featuring guests from various fields. Through exhibitions, sales, talk events, and workshops, we aim to create opportunities to raise the energy of the region.
