What makes this workshop special is the material itself: you'll work with real vintage Japanese coins, each one decades old and full of history. Unlike typical souvenir shopping, you'll create something with your own hands using traditional metalworking techniques — and the ring you take home is truly one of a kind. Classes are kept small, so whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned craft lover, you'll get personal guidance every step of the way. Located in the heart of Kyoto, it's an easy add to any itinerary and one of the few experiences where your souvenir tells the story of both Japan and your trip.

What you'll do

Craft your own ring from a vintage Japanese coin in this hands-on Kyoto workshop
Choose your favorite coin, then shape, stamp, and polish it into a wearable ring using traditional metalworking tools — all under the guidance of a friendly instructor. No experience is needed, and each step is easy to follow, so beginners are very welcome. Along the way, you'll learn about the history behind the coins and the craft itself, making this more than just a souvenir-making session. The small-group setting means you'll get plenty of personal attention, and there's time to take photos of the process. Customize the size and finish to match your style, and leave with a one-of-a-kind ring that carries a piece of Japanese history on your finger — a perfect keepsake or gift for someone special.
