Normally we pick up a real pearl at Ehime, Ise, Kyushu which are located Southern part of Japan more than 550 miles from Tokyo. However we can get real shells from our group company Ehime, and provide real pearls. At the same time we can supply fitting parts which produce at Tokyo factory. Customer can select fitting parts and create own ring, neckless with a pearl. Our customer can get only one accessory at Tokyo without leaving city. For ladies it is the best place to create their own taste jewelry. Family travelers have increased to enjoy picking up real pearls from shells. Kids are exciting with first time to look at real pearls from shells. We can tell the story how to produce a pearl showing actual sample so that they can tell the story to their friends showing a real pearl after back to home country.

Thank you for your visiting PICOLABO. Yes, you can select several parts with your pearl. Then you can get only one jewelry in the world. Please come and see us again. Thank you.
Fun thing to do and learn about. If you want to make some jewelry with the pearl yiu harvest, figure $75 USD for a chain and pendant. Good activity.

My wife and I had a great time learning about and shucking our own oysters to receive real Japanese pearls. At the end you can decide to make your pearls into jewelry. The hosts are fun and enthusiastic and we will definitely recommend this to anyone else who visits Japan.
Thank you very much for your happy voice. Your pearls are only one in the world. Please cherish them. Thank you , again. PICOLABO
I really enjoyed the experience of learning about where they sourced the pearls and how they were made. The salesman and owner were super friendly and not pushy at all. There’s designs of the jewelry were really cute. I recommend the pendants as they look more modern with the pearls. I got a really cute cat design that wasn’t even shown on their website. The shop is a bit hard to find. Look for the Picolab sign (it’s a piece of laminated paper) next to a glass door with a bunch of Japanese words on it. The store is on 2nd floor and it’s a shoes off building. They have slippers. Definitely would come back just to see their future designs. The pricing of their jelwery were super cheap compared to other places that sells pearl. Also you should do the gatcha machine. I got four small pearls that were really cute for 1000 yen. Real pearls. They said you can get 2-4 pearls from the gatcha machine. It’s nice that they are a locally run Japanese business. You get that authentic feel, not too touristy. Not sure if it’s a random luck but I got a hybrid color pearl of both blue and white luster. Set it in a cute cat pendant.
Thank you very much for coming from San Francisco. Looks you enjoyed girl's time, such as you were thinking a ring or neckless or pendant, after a cat shape or another animal. Finally got a cat pearl. At PICOLABO you can create only one jewelry in the world. Come and see us again! PICOLABO
Awesome experience at Picolabo! We were able to pick our oysters and got lovely pearls from them. I now have 2 unique pieces to take home with me! The whole experience was insightful and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend signing up for this activity!
Oh, thank you very much for your heartful comment. We also enjoyed your support and communication. Please come and see us again! New design product is coming soon at our shop. PICOLABO
This was an amazing opportunity to learn about pearls and their harvest. Our family enjoyed finding the pearls and choosing jewelry to match. All of our hosts were kind, informative, and professional. It is a very calm and welcoming environment with one to one attention as you go through the process.
Thank you for your visiting us. We also enjoyed your communication. Especially WORLD JUMP ROPE CHAMPIONSSHIP for your daughter was great. And daddy was very lucky person to pick up a big shiny pearl. Please come again.
I really enjoyed this moment. Shopkeepers are adorable and explain all the steps behind making a piece of jewellery. They show us moment to collect the pearl ourselves and then offer us a wide choice of jewelry where the pearl can be placed. They also have a beautiful shop with quality jewelry.

This was a wonderful experience. The staff at pico lab were professional and friendly. We were taught about the process of pearl collection in depth before we were given a shell to open up and find our own unique pearl.
Thank you for visiting PICOLABO. We are so happy if you enjoy picking up a pearl and understand the process of pearl collection. Please wear your only one pearl and become more attractive. See you again in Japan. PICOLABO
