We had such a wonderful time making our own hanko in Kyoto. The instructor was incredibly patient and friendly, walking us through every step of the carving process, and we walked away with a beautiful, personal souvenir that we’ll treasure from our trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hands-on memorable experience!
