I had a great time with Nonoka San designing and making a combo ring for my girlfriend. Nonoka was fun to be with and made the experience both instructive and enjoyable with my “aged” Japanese skills.
A perfect experience. Nonoka was just lovely helping me choose and showing me every step, the parts she did and then showing me what to do. I loved it.
Very Nice experience, Kyoko and nonoka were excellence Hosts!
Fantastic experience! It's worth every minute and you will leave work the perfect couple ring and souvenir of the making. Highly recommended. Our shop guide Kyoko was amazingly kind and helpful.
Just beautiful and with so much carring fromt he staff.
This was a great experience thanks to Minami Kae’s excellent skills and guidance. We had a great time and would thoroughly recommend. You get to choose the quality and cost of the final product depending on your preferences. So much fun.
We love Kanazawa Gentil branch Kyoko is soo patient and kind Nonoka is joyful and patient as well Making rings on our own is meaningful
Very helpful and kind service, no earlier ring making experience needed! Perfect experience for rainy days! At the end I was surprised with personalized note written in Finnish!! Very much recommend this experience!! Kiitos!!!
The ring making experience was amazing! They allowed you to see each step of the process and even do it yourself! We each designed a ring and then helped shape and create it for the other! They were so welcoming and we really enjoyed the whole experience and process.
Very fun experience the staff were very friendly and sweet and even with a language barrier it was still fun. Nonoka was super friendly and sweet and did a great job guiding us through the process and helping us when we got stuck. Overall a unique experience and you get to keep your ring which is very cool and a great souvenir
So happy with my custom made ring! Thank you Kae for the expert advice!
Great workshop with Minami Kae and her colleagues. They were super attentive and explained so well. Lots of fun. But be warned: the jewelry in the shop is very tempting! 😅
This was such a special experience and a wonderful momento for our time here. Aya and Kai were so kind and wonderful would highly recommend.
Amazing experience! My best friend and I made our own rings, Kae and Aya we so lovely in showing up how to make our own special rings we will have forever! Thank you so much 😊
We had a wonderful experience! My daughter and I each made a ring and love them. The staff took our photos along the way and walked us through every step of the process.
Fun experience making rings for each other to celebrate 33years of marriage and being together since we were 16
Brilliant experience Kae made it very enjoyable. I’d highly recommend anyone wanting to do this. The girls are very friendly and make it such a fun experience.
We spent a bit over an hour making rings and watching our rings being made. The guides were incredibly helpful and fun. They used an app to help translate between us and the ring makers and it was very easy to use. They also gave us recommendations for dinner and were very encouraging as we made the rings. We had a great time and loved talking to the ring makers. The only thing to be aware of is that the rings were a bit expensive depending on the type of metal you choose and the size of ring. So choosing a gold ring was about 10x more than silver.
This was SO much fun! You get to fully choose everything about the ring - metal used, size, texture, and finish. They make the base for you but you get to make the texture and they instruct you through it. They’re also just really nice people to lead the experience!
What a wonderful experience we had with Nonoka! She was very knowledgable about the ring making course. She used her translation very well, and we were able to communicate so easily. She was kind friendly and she had the best little giggle. I would recommend making a memorable ring with a loved one. What a great memory made. All the staff were very friendly and I love the ambiance of the little shop.
AWESOME PEOPLE AND AMAZING EXPERIENCE
It was very warm and interesting experience. It was guided by two lovely ladies, with whom were very pleasant to chat. Explanations were easy to understand, we were guided for entire process. You can choose your ring, style, materials and get unique experience!
My husband and I had an amazing experience! The staff was friendly. We were even allowed to make certain parts of each other’s rings. If you’re on a budget, be mindful of the pricing since it varies by many factors, but overall, it was worth it since it’s my wedding band now. Highly recommend!
Thanks to Kae-san and Nonoka-san me and my girlfriend had an unforgettable experience! We became official partners during this trip to Japan and decided to make some rings together to commemorate the moment, and these two instructors went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible time. It was fun and instructional all the time! And when they delivered our finished rings, our hearts skipped a beat. It was much more than we expected. You'll have to try this with a partner yourself to see what i mean. Absolutely recommended
My daughter and I went on a mother-daughter date to make rings together. Nonoka was so friendly and great at walking us through the ring making process. A fun souvenir and a great way of finding "perfection in the imperfections" of trying a new craft for the first time!
Wonderful experience! Everyone was so pleasant and fun. We had a lot of laughs while making our rings. We left with beautiful rings with matching engravings, and great memories. Thank you!
I went with my daughter for a fun experience and to enjoy a break from the July heat. So glad we did! The staff was wonderful and the ring is a perfect keepsake from our trip.
A fun and memorable experience. The staff were friendly, encouraging, and accommodating to us an English speakers. My only wish is that there could’ve been a little more hands on components. We did some steps but the staff handled a lot of the rest. I loved that I could engrave the ring
This was a fantastic experience! The staff was so friendly and helpful. I left with two rings that I wear all the time, so high quality and always a great reminder of our trip. And such a reasonable price! The shop was lovely and in a cute neighborhood. Great way to bring home a handmade souvenir.
Amazing ladies in the shop.so helpful.
Really liked the hands on experience and left with a wonderful memory. No cheesy bonsai trees that I will end up killing before Maturity!
Wonderful number of possible ways to style your ring through metal, shape, thickness and even engravings. The staff explains each step and its purpose. The staff themselves are very friendly and speak a good amount of English. We ended up chatting about many things as we finished our rings! Price was about $21 per person for our selection and lasted about an hour with relaxed chatting. More expensive options are available for those looking for thicker rings or more expensive materials like gold and platinum. 10/10 would recommend not just for the ring but the experience as a whole!
This was the second time we made rings here and this time was just as special as the last one. The rings are the most perfect souvenir from our trip and such a memorable experience. Everyone who works there was so warm and fun and making the rings is something we will never forget. We will be coming back here every time we come to Japan!
Staff was friendly and warm, and there were tons of options to choose from. A great experience overall, and got to go home with a pretty souvenir as well! As a solo traveler, I couldn’t recommend this more!!
Had a lovely experience picking various features of our base rings before doing our own pattern hammering (3 different kinds). Staff were so kind and patient explaining the steps and also asking questions about our hometowns. Would recommend as a fun yet quick activity.
The staff is lovely and accommodating. We got a great memory made and learned something about ring making. I highly recommend this experience.
Wonderful experience and a truly meaningful end to our trip. Staff were outstanding!
The best experience making rings, the staff are really friendly and talk you through every step!
Mum and I came here as a random 'crafty' experience and it exceeded our expectations. It was really good, we loved it. The staff were so friendly and helpful and let us take as much photos and videos we wanted. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a great quality souvenir that will last a lifetime from Kanazawa.
This was a lovely experience! The rings are excellent quality and my daughters truly enjoyed making their rings. It’s expensive but very worth it to have such a special memory of such a special place. The shop owner is wonderful and the ladies helping us make their rings rings were patient and helpful. We had an amazing time.
Very fun experience. The ladies who work here were great. Must do in Kanazawa - got a nice souvenir to take home. Also a great gift if you know someone’s ring size.
We came for Ring making experience and walked away with friends. The staff is so lovely and nice.
Just wow! What a wonderful experience. Such lovely staff that help you through the whole process and are attentive to every step. Also super nice and fun to talk to. Absolute fantastic service. It’s so fun to see how the rings are made and also be part of that experience yourself. Myself and Mark are so so happy with our rings thank you very much would absolutely recommend!
It was alright, but I expected there to be more work from my side. The two ladies were very nice and they really liked my Glaceon socks :)
Great service and delightful people. The rings are lovely and a perfect fit. Highly recommend for adults, teenagers or primary school aged kids.
This was an amazing experience! You get to participate in the ring making process, and all of the staff are super sweet and helpful. Highly recommend to anyone in or visiting the area. Definitely a must try experience! Reasonable pricing and English accommodating. They offer you very yummy complementary coffee as well. We had so much fun! Thank you to the staff for being so kind.
Was a super fun, cool and easy experience with how helpful the staff was. Everyone was wonderful and would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience.
The hosts were very friendly and informative! Great experience and I love my ring.
All the staff were so lovely and accomodating during our visit. They put the time and effort into ensuring we understood what was happening. The young girl working there was so lovely
I went with a friend and Nonoka-san was the best! She had great energy and helped us with every step. The store is clean and comfortable. She gave us coffee and took pictures when we were hammering the rings and sent them to us as well for the memories. Everyone in the shop was super kind and we talked about recommendations for visiting our state. The personalization of the rings is great and can fit every budget. It took about an hour and a half total. The other group also had a great time with staff. I recommend this experience 100%!
