Really wonderful experience! Clear English instructions and friendly staff (we don’t speak Japanese), very fun couples experience to make our own rings. The tools may feel a bit scary at first but they are actually quite safe. Our staff member helped to engrave our initials inside at the end (and we saw him clean up the inside of the ring a little for us too - thanks!)
