High quality experience! Beautiful, personal rings created!

Amelia_D, Apr 2026

This was an amazing experience! We had a very private session with instructions and help and friendly conversation throughout the whole experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and talked us through everything and helped make two rings which were perfect for us. They were very respectful and everything turned out beautiful! Defiantly worth doing! All materials seemed very high quality and so was the service!

Love forged in Kyoto

Here’s an optimized review tailored for the Viator app, blending warmth, detail, and recommendation strength: *** What an unforgettable experience! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly patient, guiding us through every step. My wife and I created beautiful rings to celebrate our anniversary and trip to Japan, making the experience both personal and memorable. Highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Kyoto—you’ll leave with a unique souvenir and great memories!

A unique souvenir and memory.

Was truly a wonderful experience, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Myself and my wife each made a ring and hand it engraved with Kyoto, to remember our stop here during our honeymoon. The results were beautiful, and we so enjoyed the process. Definitely recommend

Beautiful ring making in Kyoto

This was a fun experience for my family. My two boys, husband & I enjoyed the quick lesson and have pretty rings as keepsakes. The price was very reasonable too considering how much Sterling silver normally costs

Limited but fun

Not exactly what you think of ring making. They give you a circle ring and you hammer the texture into the rings. It is not the line of metal you contour and solder together etc etc

Ring finishing class. A fun activity with very kind locals.

Theresa_V, Apr 2024

This was a fun experience with some very helpful young people working at the shop. This class teaches you about creating texture on a silver or gold ring and lets you try it and to help in sizing it. I was hoping to learn a little about soldering and shaping/polishing but this session is designed for busy travelers who have about 90 min to spare. I may try this at home!

Friendly and lovely class!

An incredible experience learning to texture my own ring. And we get a little souvenir of Kyoto. The staff at the little shop went above and beyond. A really lovely time.
