The experience was good, but it was much more expensive than advertised. The ring you pay for when you book is tiny and you have to pay quite a bit more to have one that’s a proper size. The vendor contacts you to tell you this after booking which I thought was a bit off. I think this information should be included in the listing. The actual making of the ring only takes about 5-10 minutes, and involves tapping the ring with a hammer to give it texture. This was fun but I wanted to do a bit more. The staff were lovely and the experience felt very professional. I do really like the ring I came out with.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that you liked your finished ring. Our team truly appreciates your kind words about the staff as well. Regarding the pricing, we sincerely apologize for any confusion. Our experience allows guests to customize their ring by choosing different materials, widths, and sizes, which can affect the final price. We do share this information after booking and again on the day, but we understand that it may not have been clear enough beforehand. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we are currently working on improving our listing to make this information clearer before booking, so future guests can have the right expectations from the beginning. Thank you again for your honest comments. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
Absolutely incredible experience. Well worth the time and money. The ring feels extremely unique since you put all the markings on it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re truly delighted to hear that you found the experience worthwhile and unique. It means a lot to us that the custom markings made the ring feel special and one of a kind.

Good experience for the first time making our own rings. You will be surprised at the price range depends on what material you want. Staff was so friendly, kind and helpful.

Great opportunity to do something memorable. Wonderful hospitality by our host who provided many options to take home a true treasure from our visit. Located in a busy but scenic area.
Thank you very much for your purchase! We hope you enjoy your ring for many years to come. ☺️
My 19-year old daughter and I had a fun and memorable time making Tankin rings together. Miyu was great! She thoroughly explained everything & checked on us at every step. We now have great souvenirs to remember our trip to Okinawa! And the store is in a great location, on the coast, with lots of shops & eateries nearby
Thank you so much for your kind and heartwarming comment! It truly encourages us ☺️ We’re so happy to hear that it became a special memory from your trip to Okinawa. If you have the chance to visit Okinawa again, we would love to welcome you back to our store!
Very nice and personal make-your-own ring workshop, led by very attentive staff. A little more information: the cost of the workshop (60-90 mins) is about 20 euro per person. That obviously does not include the ring itself. You start with choosing the material, width and shape of your ring. Prices range from silver (very affordable - a couple of tenners) to a thousand euro for most expensive material / width. The workshop cost that you already paid to viator is then subtracted from the price. Next, you get to choose between three types of finishes (or a combination) to the ring that you will be applying yourself with specialised hammers. The staff then applies the finishing touches. During those minutes we got treated to a personal serenade by one of the staff members & her okinawan "banjo". All in all a lovely personal experience for a special occasion 😊.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for joining our ring-making workshop! We’re truly honored to have been part of such a special moment for you. It brings us great joy to hear that you enjoyed the process — from selecting your materials to creating your very own finish. Seeing each guest craft something meaningful with their own hands is what makes our work so rewarding. We’re also glad you enjoyed the surprise serenade! It’s our little way of adding a personal touch and making the experience even more memorable. Wishing you a future filled with happiness and love, along with your handmade ring. We hope to welcome you back again someday!😊 With heartfelt gratitude, — itosina Team
