Making Accessories from Eco-Friendly Wood in Nara, Japan

Create your own handmade wooden accessory in the heart of Nara, Japan. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use eco-friendly wood to craft a beautiful brooch inspired by traditional Japanese designs. Cherry blossom patterns are especially popular, offering a lovely way to experience the culture through art. You’ll be guided step-by-step to make a piece that looks just like something from a boutique shop.

This activity is perfect for travelers looking to take home a special memory. You’ll leave with a unique brooch and the joy of making it yourself.
