  • Local etiquetteThe "fuki" casting, when molten iron is poured into moulds, is announced month by month on the official site; in September 2026 it was on the Fridays (4, 11, 18 and 25) around 13:00-15:00. Anyone can watch; melting the iron takes about 30 min.Checked 25 Sept 2026 on the official site
