After 150 years in business, Japanese porcelain factory Kouraku Kiln has accumulated quite a few unsold goods. 

Actually, the collection is so huge that workers have to use bicycles to go from one corner of the warehouse to another.

That’s why they decided to open the factory for an adventurous treasure hunt. 

Everyday, 10 lucky people, who have made a reservation by phone, can visit the factory and get lost for a whole 90 minutes in a porcelain wonderland. The rules are simple: take anything that fits in your basket and pay as little as $45 to a maximum of $90.

The price includes a 30-minute factory tour, which is available in English. To make the hunt easier, you get a pair of gloves, a flashlight, and, obviously, a basket. 

Just another reason to book a flight to Japan right now.
