Enjoyable experience - I made rings with my 3 children (ages 19, 16 and 12 years) as they were all keen to give it a try. You get to pick the ring materials, size and design. The process is idiot proof, the staff friendly and the result is a nice memento of our trip to Japan.

Great Experience - Had a great time learning how to make a ring with a friend on this trip. Excellent way to remember a holiday, and reasonable pricing too. The staff were lovely and very helpful throughout the session too!

One ring. Family ring. - Our family of 4 enjoyed the ring making experience. The place (Gentil) was easy to find (there were instructions to the place. But we just took a taxi from Omicho market). The two staff were very patient to explain the process. 1. Select which finger (there’s a chart explaining the significance of which finger). 2. Select type of ring (there are different add-on prices.) - thickness and type of material 3. Select type of texture you want - no add on prices. You can combine different textures on the same ring if you want. 4. Staff will form the ring for you. You can watch or just enjoy the coffee. 5. Finally, you hammer the ring to form the texture you want. Staff will guide you all the way. 6. Staff providers pouch and cleaning cloth for each ring. Staff took photos and videos of us. Worth doing the rings. Our first rings as a family.

Beautiful Activity, Beautiful People, and Beautiful Rings - It was an amazing experience! The staff were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! They speak very good English! They even helped us practice speaking Japanese. As for the process it was very simple! They helped us decide what size, shape, material, and pattern we wanted. After that we were treated to coffee and were able to view the other beautiful jewelry pieces in the store, while we waited for the previous group to finish. When they were ready for us they had everything prepped and ready to go. They showed us step by step and guided us through the whole process, from hammering the ring pattern in, to getting it nice and flat. They even answered our questions as they did the stamping of the material and the polishing! It was a very fun bonding experience for my spouse and I, as well as a great learning experience! It was also a very easy to find location (Very Central) and very beautiful!

Highly recommend! - It was a unique experience! My partner and I wanted to make rings together, and it was fun to hammer eachother's rings. My partner and I like versatile and simplicity, therefore the rings we chose and made fit this criteria and it is also very affordable. They have additional materials and types of rings you can make that range in cost in case you changed your mind from when you purchased the experience to actually being at the ring shop. The two ladies who were there to help us make the rings were really lovely and friendly. They made the experience extra special! Doumo arrigatou! We love our rings! 😊

A wonderful experience for a lasting keepsake. - The hosts were kind, knowledgeable and attentive. There was no pressure to upsell, but they went through the various options with us and we selected what we thought would suit us best. The process was very fun and we're very happy with the rings we got.

Very relaxing and enjoyable experience. - Fantastic experience. Very friendly and professional. My boyfriend and I wanted to make rings to represent our commitment to one another in our long distance relationship. Aya-San and the other woman employed there, who’s named I forgot to get, were amazing to work with and very helpful. 10/10, highly recommend.
