Tokyo: Leather Sandal Making Workshop with a Japanese Shoemaker

Make your own leather sandals in three hours at R atelier & Co., a leather workshop in Nakameguro, Tokyo, and take them home the same day.

Choose from four styles:
- ARUN, our most popular, with two wide crossing straps
- PHO, with a toe loop and a strap over the top of the foot
- PHRAKEAW, a thong sandal
- SETTA, inspired by traditional Japanese setta (natural footbed, black strap)

ARUN, PHO and PHRAKEAW come in Natural or Black. All sandals are made with Tochigi leather from Japan.

Please tell us your style, color and shoe size when booking so we can prepare your parts. Use your usual shoe size or the size chart on our website. Sizes S (23.0-24.0 cm) to XL (27.5-28.5 cm). For 29 cm or larger, please contact us before booking.

A professional craftsman guides you as you glue the upper to the footbed, nail the midsole and footbed together, attach the sole and polish the edges. No experience needed; max two people per session.

The leather changes color beautifully and shapes itself to your feet.

Start at 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM or 5:00 PM, easy to fit into a day of sightseeing. We are in front of the large torii gate of Nakameguro Hachiman Shrine, 6 minutes from Nakameguro Station.
