Basic price for the jeans is the only good thing about it. Everything else that is upcharged is absurdly overpriced. Basic embroidery you can get done in your home country for 40$, here it costs you 250$.. their most basic embroidery costs you 15$ for a single letter. Their own jeans patch with THEIR logo, which any god brand would just have it on, is up charged 25$. After getting my basic jeans I walked down the street and found phenomenal embroidery on good jeans for the same price as the basic jeans you can get here. Don’t follow what influencers do, they are payed and will make their money back with the post they do. If you do the same thing they do you’ll pay 500$ if not more for jeans which is not worth it

The staff were indubitably hospitable as they guided and accomodated us throughout the experience. Their variety and selection were top-notch. Naisu!
Great experience at Daruma Jeans. The team was very welcoming, especially Hikari, who took great care of us the entire time and even helped us resolve a technical issue with our booking. The team is international and everyone speaks perfect English, so even if you don't know Japanese, you don't have to worry about communication. The attention to detail of the Daruma Jeans staff, the quality of their jeans, and their friendliness throughout the whole customization process definitely make it worth the experience. If you are in Tokyo, we highly recommend dropping by to visit them.
Helpfull staff guiding you through the experience and they were lenient with the pickup times. You got talked through everything and had free choice to design.
Incredible experience. Every option is customisable and the staff were super friendly and nice. A special thanks to Lucas for being a massive help with things such as length of jeans issues and making the experience really enjoyable for me! I couldn’t recommend it more!
We had a wonderful experience at Daruma Jeans, and Ebony made it extra special! She was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process, making us feel welcome and comfortable as we personalized our jeans. Her friendly attitude and guidance made the experience fun and memorable. Such a unique souvenir from our trip to Japan! Thank you, Ebony, for taking such great care of us. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo!
This is a very cool and unique experience. The staff take good care of you and are so helpful. I would really recommend customising your own jeans, making a pair of jeans nobody else has! I will come back here next time in Tokyo.
It was an amazing and fun experience, I HIGHLY recommend you get authentic selvedge denim, although if you’re American, know they do sell out of their denim in our size sometimes! It was a little pricy, they did charge an extra fee for many things, so beware that the initial price it says isn’t totally true. My jeans came out to about $250 after I got the upgraded logo, embroidery, selvedge, and brass. Although it was expensive, it was worth every penny. I live in Japan, and I plan on going back to get more embroidery done, because I can say this is some of the nicest denim and people in the industry (that I’ve discovered.)
Very cool experience. Ebony was an awesome guide.
Ebony was great, super friendly and informative! She made the experience memorable and very fun!! Highly recommend!
Very fun experience that allows you to be creative with helpful input from the staff. Great quality denim that you won’t get at home.
Cool experience, they are sold out of some sizes so you may want to confirm before going.
Exceptional service and even better product. They are true Japanese denim and they make the process super easy. Hands on crew. IF AMERICAN, Make sure they have your size on their Instagram before you book so you don’t run into any issues.
Amazing Experience. Amazing Jeans and amazing Service. Our Guide was Ebby and she was absolutely fantastic.
