[Higashi Chaya District] HAKUICHI Experience Spot – Easy Gold Leaf Workshop in a Traditional Machiya Townhouse

Favorite

The second floor of "Bikazari Asano," a select shop for traditional crafts, is home to the gold leaf workshop. The space features warm, reddish-brown tones that reflect the essence of Kanazawa’s traditional architecture.

An Easy, One-Hour Gold Leaf Experience—Perfect for Your Kanazawa Stroll

Located just steps from the scenic streets of the Higashi Chaya District, this hands-on gold leaf workshop fits perfectly into your sightseeing itinerary, taking less than an hour to complete.

Choose from over 50 pre-cut sticker designs—including seasonal patterns—and enjoy applying gold leaf using a masking technique.
You can create your own decorative piece using items like accessory boxes, hand mirrors, or traditional Umezara (plum-shaped dishes). Limited edition materials are also available!

We also offer a separate chopstick-designing experience using both gold and silver leaf—a great option for those looking to craft something uniquely Japanese.

Operated by HAKUICHI, a leading gold leaf manufacturer in Kanazawa, this experience is perfect for visitors of all ages—from children to adults.

Come discover the beauty and elegance of gold leaf craftsmanship.
