Overview

Step into traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a hands-on "Hanao-Suge" (strap-fitting) workshop in Asakusa! Learn how intricate decorative straps (Hanao) are expertly attached to wooden clogs (Geta) or woven sandals (Zori)—an art form perfected over centuries. Under the guidance of an expert local artisan, select your favorite combination of footwear base and straps, then master the technique of fitting them together. The result? A pair of custom-made traditional Japanese footwear, tailored specifically to your feet. More than just a unique keepsake, this immersive experience offers a rare glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. Walk away with an authentic piece of tradition and a memorable story to share back home.
