Make a textured ring in Kanazawa in about an hour, with friendly English-speaking staff, same-day pickup, and optional engraving.
“Making our rings was fun, but you only do one aspect of the ring making which is creating the texture and hammering it. Also, know that the cost of the experience only includes the thinnest silver ring, which the instructor said is not strong. If you want a thicker ring or a different metal you have to pay more. This surprised us, but I guess considering the cost should not have. I just wish I knew this upfront and I probably would have only booked one of us instead of all 4 and could have spent more on one ring.”
