Plan Overview
“I'm looking for a unique Japanese cultural experience.”
“I want to create a souvenir that I can actually keep.”
If that sounds like you, the Samurai Sandal Making Experience is the perfect activity.
The workshop takes place in Kawagoe, a historic castle town filled with traditional charm.
While learning about Japan’s traditional footwear culture, you will enjoy a special hands-on experience creating your own original pair of sandals.
Once finished, you can take your handmade sandals home with you.
They make a wonderful travel memory and a unique item you’ll be proud to share with friends and family.
What Are Samurai Sandals?
Samurai Sandals are original footwear inspired by traditional Japanese zori sandals.
In the past, Japanese people commonly wore footwear made from natural materials such as rice straw and cloth.
In this workshop, we use modern materials that resemble rice straw (plastic rope designed to look like traditional straw) while preserving the traditional crafting techniques.
This allows the sandals to be:
✔ Completed in one day
✔ Easy to take home internationally
✔ Beginner-friendly
You will also experience the spirit of Japan’s unique “Mottainai” culture — the idea of respecting materials and avoiding waste.
