Overview

**Don't just buy a souvenir in Tokyo. Make your own!**

Step inside our small leather atelier in Nakameguro, Tokyo, and enjoy an authentic hands-on leathercraft experience with a professional Japanese leather artisan.

You'll work with premium Tochigi leather, known for its beautiful natural texture and the unique character it develops over time.

No experience? No problem! Most of our guests are beginners. We'll guide you step by step, so you can relax, enjoy the creative process, and experience the satisfaction of making something with your own hands.

Our workshop is more than just making a leather item. It's a chance to meet local craftspeople, share stories, and discover the joy of Japanese craftsmanship.

Take home something you made yourself, a useful souvenir and a special memory of your time in Japan.

Our atelier is just a 6-minute walk from Nakameguro Station.
