Excellent experience with Haruka. She is a terrific teacher. I was able to select the type of shoe I wanted to make along with the leather and thread. I recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys making original works of art, which is what these shoes are!

I had an amazing time creating my one-of-a-kind pair of shoes! It was such a fun and unique experience, truly the highlight of my trip to Tokyo. Haruka is a wonderfully kind and patient teacher, always ready to offer assistance when needed🙏🏻 This class is perfect for beginners like me, so I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Tokyo. I can’t wait to book another class the next time I visit! :)
We had a great time making shoes! Communication with Haruka was great from the very beginning. She met us at the station and took us to her atelier where we were able to choose they style of shoe, leather, and other design features. And then we set to work cutting out the pieces and sewing the shoes together. Her instructions were easy to follow. We each left with a fun pair of shoes that we will cherish forever.
What a fun experience! I am so excited to have my own handmade, custom shoes! I definitely recommend this if you’re curious. There were tons of leather colors to choose from and the instructor was wonderful! You don’t need any skills to be successful with this—she’ll guide and help you. I really want to do this again next time I’m in Tokyo!
Was most amazing experience. The process ensured I was not overwhelmed by choices. I could select materials and colours easily. Instructions were very clear and teacher was very patient. Loved the outcome
Was a fun and easy to follow experience. Loved the various options of shoes style, wide range of materials and colors to choose from. Combination and design options are endless and had a blast mixing and matching colors to adding my personal style. The instructor also collects Kimono materials so it’s perfect for making a unique souvenir to take home or as a gift. They also carry shoes sizes bigger than many Japanese retailers, so also appreciated the inclusiveness.
First shoe-making experience in my life! Even I, am all thumbs, was able to make beautiful shoes like the ones in the pics. The bilingual instructor is very attentive and her beautiful atelier is stocked with one-of-a-kind, high quality materials. Highly recommended.
I had a wonderful time creating my first pair of shoes ever under the guidance of an amazing bilingual instructor with a great sense of humor and a lot of knowledge. The variety and quality of the material to chose from is astonishing. I am very pleased with the results of my work. Thank you Haruka-san! I'll definitely be back!
Thank you so much for showing me how to make shoes from scratch! I really enjoyed the process, especially being able to choose which leather to use for the sole and customizing everything from start to finish. It took about four hours, but it was worth every minute. The shoes are truly original and made just for me—such a special experience!
I have been making various things since February. It's really fun. They have a lot of leather types, colors, thread colors, and they're resourceful. A fun and homely place. You want to make it one after the other. It also gives me a calm space boost.
With a choice of leather fabrics in all tastes, I couldn’t stop excited about the variety and possibilities available! There are many colors, from sewing threads to grommets, and if you are in doubt, the instructor, Haruka, will advise you. It was a dream-like fun production time, and we were chatting happily and it was done in no time. Thank you.
The left and right main parts were made with slightly different materials. There are so many leather and stitching 🧵 choices. I chose it with all my heart while receiving advice even though I was lost. With careful guidance, I was able to make it smoothly and was very satisfied with the result. I was able to play with the tassels I had bought before ♪ At the atelier, I was shown a variety of nice shoes in different designs and I was really keen to make them.
You can make one great pair of shoes in the world! Haruka's studio has too many materials to choose from, and you will always find something you like. I am not good at sewing because I can decide the combination of materials and colors through consultation. Even if you say so, you will always have a nice pair of shoes. I would love to see you make a pair of shoes that are one of a kind in the world that you don't wear with anyone.
I made tasseled shoes, sandals, brooches, book covers, leather accessories and more. It was a great experience to be able to create something unique and unique from so many materials. Another nice thing is that you can use the things you make for everyday use. You can use it with attachment.
It is a very nice studio. You can make shoes with your favorite fabric, More than anything, they're comfortable, I go to make them every season. Recently, I made shoes for my mother and mother-in-law. I was happy that they liked it because it was easy to wear and cute. When I don't have time to make it, I can choose a fabric and order it. Thank you for meeting Haruka!!
I was so moved to make my own pair out of so much leather. The finished product was very complete, and I was very happy.
I participated in a shoemaking workshop. It was my first time to be able to customize the sole, the design, the leather used, everything to my liking. There are so many materials in the studio that it can be fun to get lost in the time to choose, but HARUKA gives you advice. I designed the shoes the same as the people I joined, but the finished shoes were completely different and each one had its own uniqueness. I would love to participate again.
First, there are many attractive materials in various colors and materials, It is hard to choose the fabric you like. The process was easy to understand, so once you got the hang of it, it was easy! Do what is difficult. The lunches at the nearby stores I recommended were also delicious. I really like shoes, so I want to go out again ^^ Thank you very much.
I was able to choose from a lot of materials and make my own, and I had a great time. The teacher was very knowledgeable and easy to understand, and I was able to make my favorite shoes smoothly despite being new to the sport. If I had the chance, I would love to go and make shoes with different designs.
Shoe patterns, materials and designs Taking advice from the teacher. You're free to decide. Pattern → Leather cutting → Sewing We will proceed with careful explanation If there is something you don't understand, they will give you appropriate advice I was thrilled when I put my foot in it 🤩 Your own original shoes I can make them and they are comfortable.
It's just amazing to be able to make such stylish shoes in one day!! I was able to choose the design I wanted to make out of several different shoe designs, choose the material and make my own original shoes. They teach me carefully one by one, and I am excited and excited about the little by little creation of the shoes, and it is fun and engrossing.
