Amazing handcrafting time! - 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! :)

My first shoemaking experience - 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.

100% recommend this experience - 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.

LOVE!!! - 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!

It's fun, easy, and cute! - 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.

1 day shoe making experience - 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.

One of a kind experience! - 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.

A unique and wonderful experience! - 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.

Exciting experience - 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.
