Overview

Mishima Japanese Candle Shop, a venerable establishment with over 240 years of history, is one of the few remaining workshops in Japan dedicated to crafting handmade Japanese candles. Located in Hida Furukawa, a 5-minute walk from JR Hida-Furukawa Station, the shop offers a glimpse into traditional candle-making. The all-natural, plant-based candles are known for producing less soot and resisting wind. Visitors can observe the candle-making process and learn about the unique characteristics of these candles, which are especially prominent during the annual Santera Mairi festival. These candles make for a popular and culturally rich souvenir.
