Aichi
This handmade jewelry workshop is located approximately a 12-minute walk from JR Toyohashi Station. In a private space reserved for just one couple, you can create rings and bangles from scratch with the support of a professional craftsman. There are also plenty of options available, such as "gem setting" and "plating," making it popular for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry. The workshop takes about 2 to 3 hours, and you can take your creation home on the same day.
Touching local crafts is also a fun way to spend a rainy day. There are many workshops where you can experience making things such as pottery, glass crafts, and perfume making, and if you try this as a family or couple, it will be an opportunity to discover a surprising side of your family or partner. The results were better than I expected, given the instructions from the instructor. Of course, each piece is a one-of-a-kind piece. It's sure to be a treasure.
