What to expect

Make your own vintage coin ring in Kyoto. Looking for something different to do between temples, shrines, and sightseeing? Step into our workshop and create a piece of jewelry that’s completely your own. Start by exploring our selection of vintage coins and finding the design that catches your eye. From there, you’ll use real jewelry-making tools to gradually turn the coin into a wearable ring. Hammer it, shape it, size it, and finish it — our instructors will guide you through each step, so beginners are always welcome. The best part? You’re not simply choosing a souvenir from a shelf. You’re making it yourself, and no two rings will ever look exactly the same. Come for the experience, enjoy the process, and leave Kyoto wearing something you created yourself.

Turn a piece of history into something you can wear. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll choose from a selection of authentic vintage coins from different countries and transform your favorite one into a unique ring. Each coin has its own design, age, and character, making every finished piece completely different. With step-by-step guidance from our friendly instructors, you’ll shape, form, and finish your ring yourself using specialized tools. No previous experience is needed — the process is designed to be enjoyable and accessible for everyone. Rather than taking home an ordinary souvenir, you’ll leave with something much more personal: a ring you made with your own hands and a lasting reminder of your time in Kyoto. Conveniently located in central Kyoto, the workshop is easy to fit into your day and offers a creative break between sightseeing.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
