We were very pleased to be met there by Mr. Eishiro Takahashi, President of Takahashi Seisakusho Ltd., who told us of the early beginnings of the Takahashi telescope operations and invited us to visit the factory at Yorii.

The trip to Yorii, Saitama, takes about 1 - 1.5 hours by train from the administrative offices. Not a soul in this station in mid-afternoon. All the kids are in school and everyone else is at work or home (this changes dramatically starting about 5 PM until well into the night), The entire trip required three train changes.
The Takahashi factory is located on top of a small hill surrounded by woods. The building and land are owned by Takahashi and they have been making telescopes in this factory for over 40 years.
We were lucky to arrive just as the aluminum was being poured into the molds neatly arranged in rows along the floor. We were told that preparation for this moment took about 2 weeks.
