Japan Traditional Crafts Aoyama Square

Great crafts store covering all sorts of crafts from across Japan. They also occasionally have live demonstrations. We got to see two different types of life demonstrations, one for a small Japanese style dolls, and another for traditional jewelry making made on cast steel with leaf inlay. Every small craft representation has an explanation on the history of the crafting question and alsoan identification of from where in Japan this type of craft is from it is a quiet store not recommended for people with very young children who like to run around.

I am so glad I came here! This is probably the best place to buy the highest quality selection of beautiful artisanal crafts in Tokyo! However, be aware that this is an expensive shop. The majority of the items were each above ¥10,000. That being said, because each piece is unique, the average price of what is available might vary greatly depending on what the artists produce. The entire store was like a museum where you could touch things! That said, I found a small selection of beautiful pieces under ¥10,000. I really wish I could’ve bought the entire store! Here is my loot. I have no buyer's remorse. I only wish I could go back and have bought more. (The gorgeous lacquerware tray was ¥22,000. The rest range from ¥4500-¥7000.)

Very interesting place with absolutely marvellous examples of Japanese handiwork, loved visiting this store and highly recommend it

Probably the best shop in Tokyo for finding a wide variety of high-quality Japanese crafts. There is something here for all budgets, but no matter the price you will get something well worth the money. Many pieces here left me in awe. The hardest part about shopping here was choosing what to take home, because there was so much I wanted. The staff is professional and getting a tax-free discount is painless.

We were looking for souvenirs for family and we wanted something authenticly Japanese & wanted to support local craftspeople (as opposed to getting every souvenir at Don Quixote). There are so many beautiful pieces in here, both affordable and over our budget. We bought some amazing items and we spoke to some of the nicest people in Tokyo. (Especially keep an eye out for the husband/wife team from Kyoto. They were immediately on the left when we walked in. They have some lovely plates, bowls, cups with hand painted designs. Some are based on their previous cat, named Manuki. An amazing couple)

During our time in Japan, we hadn't found many souvenirs that we wanted to bring back for our family. My husband did a quick google search and stumbled across this store. It had such beautiful pieces that we liked and ended up finishing our souvenir shopping. I would highly recommend it while in Tokyo.

What an amazing place! Beautiful, gorgeous handicrafts arranged by prefecture. Lovely staff takes great care of the items and the purchasing process. I will come here again next time I'm in Japan!

Visiting this shop made me regret everything I bought during my whole trip in Japan. You can see the superior craftsmanship, the quality and the beauty each piece has. I also recommend their YouTube channel, that's the main reason I wanted to go to the store. Staff was pretty professional and kind 10/10 would recommend
