The Sparkle of Glass Born from Precious Stone
Discover the allure of "Niijima Glass," a special product of the island, at the Niijima Glass Art Center.
This unique glass is crafted from Koga stone, a rare volcanic stone found only on Niijima and Italy's Lipari Island.
When melted at high temperatures, it creates a beautiful, distinctive olive-green hue that captivates all who see it.
At the Art Center, you can admire and purchase a wide variety of Niijima Glass creations, which are very popular as souvenirs.
You can also try creating your own original masterpiece in a glass-making workshop.
Next door, the affiliated Glass Art Museum showcases works by renowned glass artists from Japan and around the world, offering a deeper look into the world of glass art.
