    Had a nice time at BUB Activity Center in Asakusa! The knife forging experience was both educational and fun. I learned about the history and culture of Japanese knives while getting hands-on experience in making my own. The staff members were kind, helpful, and spoke perfect English, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I recommend this experience to anyone interested in learning craftsmanship in a casual and interactive way. A must-do activity in Tokyo!
