A second location for handmade ring experiences has opened in Asakusa, Tokyo. nane tokyo Asakusa Hanare, the sister store to nane tokyo Asakusa Main Store, opened on June 3, 2026, welcoming visitors looking to create their own rings using a traditional Japanese metalworking technique.
In recent years, experiential tourism — where visitors participate in hands-on activities rather than simply purchasing goods — has attracted growing interest alongside the rise in international visitors to Japan. In Asakusa, one of Tokyo's most iconic tourist destinations, spots offering immersive Japanese cultural experiences have become particularly popular.
nane tokyo Asakusa Main Store, which opened in 2024, has drawn many domestic and international visitors through its handmade ring experience incorporating traditional Japanese metalworking (tankin) techniques. Guests have come to enjoy ring-making as a travel souvenir or as a special keepsake shared with loved ones. With demand growing, nane tokyo Asakusa Hanare has opened to welcome even more guests to this experience.
Ring Making with the Traditional Japanese "Tsuchime" Technique
The workshop centers on crafting rings featuring the tsuchime (hammer-textured) pattern, a design rooted in Japanese tradition. By striking metal with a hammer, each ring develops a unique texture — no two are alike. The process of creating this pattern by hand becomes a cherished memory in itself.
The studio offers a variety of materials including SV925, K10 gold, K18 gold, and Pt900, making it suitable for everything from pair rings and friendship rings to wedding bands. In addition to ring-making, bangle-making experiences are also available. Since finished pieces can be taken home the same day, the workshop fits easily into a travel itinerary.
During the session, staff photograph the experience in progress and provide the commemorative photo data on the spot — so visitors can keep a record of not just the finished ring, but the entire creative process.
Service Focused on Making Travel Memories
Staff at nane tokyo Asakusa Hanare provide attentive, one-on-one service with the goal of making the ring-making session a memorable part of any trip. English-speaking staff are on hand, so international visitors can feel at ease throughout the experience. Many guests have noted that friendly conversations with staff become a highlight of their visit in their own right.
The space is designed so that the connections formed during the experience are as much a part of the visit as the ring itself.
The Meaning Behind "nane"
"Nane" (ナネ) is an archaic Japanese word meaning "a beloved person" or "someone dear to you." The brand infuses each handmade ring with that timeless feeling of cherishing someone, expressed through traditional Japanese metalworking techniques.
The warmth that comes from something handmade, and the time spent creating together while thinking of someone special — nane tokyo offers these moments at locations in Shibuya and Asakusa. Whether as a keepsake with someone important or a memory of Tokyo travel, nane tokyo Asakusa Hanare invites visitors to enjoy a one-of-a-kind ring-making experience.
