Description
Experience the traditional Japanese Tsuchime (hammered texture) technique by creating your own unique ring. During this hands-on workshop, you'll hammer the texture onto your ring while our skilled artisans professionally finish it into a high-quality piece of jewelry. Even if it's your first time, you can enjoy the experience with confidence. Located in the heart of Kanazawa, the experience takes approximately 60–90 minutes, and you can take your finished ring home the very same day—making it the perfect activity to enjoy between sightseeing. Choose from a wide variety of materials, widths, textures, and finishes to create a ring that reflects your personal style. Please note that prices vary depending on the material, ring size, and ring width. Whether you're looking for a memorable souvenir from your trip, a meaningful anniversary gift, or even a pair of wedding bands, this experience offers a one-of-a-kind memory you'll treasure for years to come.

Ring making
Brilliant experience Kae made it very enjoyable. I’d highly recommend anyone wanting to do this. The girls are very friendly and make it such a fun experience.

Cute activity for 2!
We spent a bit over an hour making rings and watching our rings being made. The guides were incredibly helpful and fun. They used an app to help translate between us and the ring makers and it was very easy to use. They also gave us recommendations for dinner and were very encouraging as we made the rings. We had a great time and loved talking to the ring makers. The only thing to be aware of is that the rings were a bit expensive depending on the type of metal you choose and the size of ring. So choosing a gold ring was about 10x more than silver.

Couples ring making experience
This was SO much fun! You get to fully choose everything about the ring - metal used, size, texture, and finish. They make the base for you but you get to make the texture and they instruct you through it. They’re also just really nice people to lead the experience!

The LOVE shop.
What a wonderful experience we had with Nonoka! She was very knowledgable about the ring making course. She used her translation very well, and we were able to communicate so easily. She was kind friendly and she had the best little giggle. I would recommend making a memorable ring with a loved one. What a great memory made. All the staff were very friendly and I love the ambiance of the little shop.

First time making a ring
The work instructions were easy to understand, and it was easy to start the work. Since you always communicated with me and gauged the right balance, I was able to work with peace of mind. The tools are tidy, and the safety management seems thorough.

Ring making experience
I was glad I could take my time choosing the type, size, and design of the ring! You taught me how to make a ring so carefully, and it was so much fun! I was able to have a fun time looking at the rings displayed in the store while waiting! It was an experience I want to come back to. Thank you very much.
