A fun and unique activity! - A fun and memorable experience. The staff were friendly, encouraging, and accommodating to us an English speakers. My only wish is that there could’ve been a little more hands on components. We did some steps but the staff handled a lot of the rest. I loved that I could engrave the ring

Sweet staff, so worth it! - This 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.

A delightful and informative experience! - Wonderful 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!! - This 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 - A super great experience to create a ring together with a partner or friends. You can choose the material, thickness, and pattern, which you can then hammer into the ring yourself. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and we had a great experience.
