Gold Leaf Craft Experience in Higashi Chaya District
Located in the heart of the Higashi Chaya District, one of Kanazawa’s most famous historic areas, this workshop offers a relaxing gold leaf craft experience inside a beautifully preserved traditional townhouse.

Using delicate gold leaf, you can decorate items such as:

Accessory boxes
Hand mirrors
Umezara (plum-shaped plates)

Choose from more than 50 pre-cut sticker designs, including seasonal patterns.
The sticker acts as a masking template, and gold leaf is carefully applied around it to create your design.

With step-by-step guidance from staff, even beginners can easily create a beautiful gold leaf souvenir in about one hour, making it a perfect activity to enjoy during your stroll through the Higashi Chaya District.

On the first floor, you can also browse a curated selection of crafts by local young artists, including accessories and tableware—perfect for finding unique Kanazawa-made souvenirs.

Operated by HAKUICHI, one of Kanazawa’s leading gold leaf manufacturers, this experience is suitable for visitors of all ages and is an ideal stop while exploring the historic streets of the Higashi Chaya District.
