5.00This was a fantastic experience! The staff was so friendly and helpful. I left with two rings that I wear all the time, so high quality and always a great reminder of our trip. And such a reasonable price! The shop was lovely and in a cute neighborhood. Great way to bring home a handmade souvenir.
You'll make a fun and wonderful ring!

5.00Wonderful number of possible ways to style your ring through metal, shape, thickness and even engravings. The staff explains each step and its purpose. The staff themselves are very friendly and speak a good amount of English. We ended up chatting about many things as we finished our rings! Price was about $21 per person for our selection and lasted about an hour with relaxed chatting. More expensive options are available for those looking for thicker rings or more expensive materials like gold and platinum. 10/10 would recommend not just for the ring but the experience as a whole!
10/10 experience!!

5.00This was the second time we made rings here and this time was just as special as the last one. The rings are the most perfect souvenir from our trip and such a memorable experience. Everyone who works there was so warm and fun and making the rings is something we will never forget. We will be coming back here every time we come to Japan!
Great experience

5.00Had a lovely experience picking various features of our base rings before doing our own pattern hammering (3 different kinds). Staff were so kind and patient explaining the steps and also asking questions about our hometowns. Would recommend as a fun yet quick activity.
