Kamakura Chokin Kobo to Open First Tokyo Store "Kamakura Chokin Kobo Tokyo Kuramae" on August 3, 2026

Kamakura Chokin Kobo Co., Ltd. (Location: Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President & CEO: Shinya Shimazaki, hereinafter "Kamakura Chokin Kobo"), a maker of handmade wedding and engagement rings, will open a new store, "Kamakura Chokin Kobo Tokyo Kuramae," in Komagata, Taito-ku, Tokyo, on Monday, August 3, 2026.

With the concept "The time spent creating is also a precious treasure," Kamakura Chokin Kobo has been operating workshops in Kamakura, Yokohama, and Osaka, allowing customers to create their own wedding and engagement rings.

Utilizing its track record and know-how in supporting over 20,000 ring productions annually, the company is now opening its first Tokyo store, "Tokyo Kuramae Branch." In the Kuramae district, a hub of craftsmanship, the company aims to provide a special ring-making experience to an even wider range of customers.

The Location for the First Tokyo Store: The Craftsmanship Town of "Kuramae"

The new store will be located in the Kuramae/Asakusa area in Komagata, Taito-ku, Tokyo.

Kuramae has historically developed as a "craftsmanship town" with many wholesalers and workshops dealing in toys, stationery, and leather goods. In recent years, it has gained attention as an area where tradition and new sensibilities coexist, with renovated warehouses, ateliers, and unique shops and cafes lining the streets.

This town, deeply rooted in artisan culture, is a fitting location for an experience like "creating a one-of-a-kind wedding or engagement ring by hand." Furthermore, with the opportunity to enjoy strolls along the Sumida River and cafe hopping, customers can create lasting memories both before and after their ring-making session.

Handmade Experience Unchanged at the Tokyo Kuramae Store

The Tokyo Kuramae store will offer the same cherished handmade ring-making experience that Kamakura Chokin Kobo has always provided.

- Create a One-of-a-Kind Ring with Your Own Hands

At Kamakura Chokin Kobo, customers will craft their rings themselves from a metal bar.

The time spent making each other's rings or working through the process together will become an irreplaceable memory alongside the finished rings.

Customers can freely combine materials, designs, and finishing methods to create a special ring that is uniquely theirs.

- Support System for First-Timers

On the day of creation, artisans will provide personalized support to each customer.

Difficult steps and finishing work will be handled by the artisans, ensuring that even those new to crafting can enjoy the process with peace of mind.

After creation, services such as size adjustment and cleaning are available to ensure the rings can be cherished for a long time.

To celebrate the opening of the Tokyo Kuramae store, a special limited-time campaign will be held.
