Tokyo: Traditional Coin Ring Making in the Heart of Asakusa

Turn a forgotten piece of history into something you'll wear for a lifetime.

In this one-of-a-kind workshop, you'll transform an authentic Japanese vintage coin into a handcrafted ring while learning the techniques used to shape metal into jewelry. Every coin carries its own history, and no two rings are exactly alike, making your finished piece a truly personal keepsake from Japan. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, you'll experience the complete ring-making process—from selecting your vintage coin and carefully expanding and shaping it into a ring to polishing it into a beautiful finish. No previous experience is necessary, and every step is designed to be enjoyable for beginners, couples, families, and solo travelers.

Unlike a typical souvenir, your ring carries a story. Once used as everyday currency, the coin is given a new purpose through your own hands, becoming a lasting reminder of your journey in Japan. Whether you wear it every day or keep it as a treasured memento, it's a piece that connects craftsmanship, history, and travel in a way that few souvenirs can.
