Add a unique and personal touch to your trip to Japan with an authentic Hanko-making experience.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own original Hanko — a traditional Japanese name seal. In Japan, a Hanko is more than just a stamp; it’s seen as a true symbol of personal identity.

During the experience, you’ll learn about the history and cultural significance of Hanko at a long-established seal shop, then carve the characters you’ve chosen into the seal yourself. Finally, take home your one-of-a-kind Hanko — a meaningful and truly special souvenir from Japan.

Experience highlights:

• Learn about the history and various styles of Hanko at a traditional seal shop
• Design your own original Hanko (name seal)
• Carve and take home your engraved Hanko as a unique keepsake
