Handmade bangles at the jewelry shop "garden Himeji". They can be easily made in less than an hour and taken home on the same day. The price is reasonable, so we recommend stopping by during a date or trip to create memories just for the two of you. Instead of buying a ready-made bangle, why not make a special, handmade bangle that you can't find anywhere else? ~Experience process~ ① Meeting/reception We will make it by hand in the calm and stylish space of a bridal jewelry specialty store♪ ② Preparation First, choose the material (silver/brass), size, and finish design. ③ Experience We will use a file to round the corners of the straight metal. We will use a special tool to round the metal. This is the most difficult step, but it's fun to watch the bangle gradually take shape. Finally, use a mallet to shape it and it's complete. ④ End/disbandment Although it's all tools that you'll be using for the first time, the staff will support you so you can make it with confidence. After you're done, you can take a commemorative photo in the photo booth in the store. The photo you took will be a gift♪

Blessed with an abundance of underground water veins that spring up from the Momoyama Hills, Fushimi was once called "Fushimizu" (literally "fushimizu" in Japanese), and it is said that full-scale brewing began here about 400 years ago because the water was suitable for sake brewing. It flourished as a castle town and a port on the Yodo River on the Tokaido, and sake breweries with white walls stand out along the Uji River and canals. The streets of Fushimi, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a sake brewing town, with ten-koku boats sailing among swaying willows, have been designated as the "Fushimi Minamihama Neighborhood Landscape Development District" by Kyoto City. ~Time Schedule~13:00 [Meet at the north ticket gate of Keihan Electric Railway Nakashojima Station] Meet in front of the sake barrel object located immediately after exiting the north ticket gate!
