The History Since 1970 — MITUBACI TOKYO and a Craft That Grew With the City
A Travel Destination Where You Can Create a Memory for Life
Choosing where to create an important ring is never just a simple purchase — it becomes a meaningful journey.
Just a short distance from the bustling streets of Shibuya lies Sangenjaya, a neighborhood in Tokyo known for its warm, nostalgic atmosphere.
Today, more and more couples from across Japan — and from around the world — are visiting this neighborhood with a special purpose: to make their own rings.
Since its founding in 1970, MITUBACI TOKYO has continued crafting jewelry here in Sangenjaya with passion and dedication. This is not simply a place to stop by during sightseeing. It is a workshop worth traveling for — a place where you can create jewelry and memories that will last a lifetime.
Craftsmanship in Sangenjaya Since 1970
Our roots are deeply connected to the neighborhood of Sangenjaya in Tokyo.
Since opening in 1970 as a precious metal craft workshop, we have spent more than half a century creating fine jewelry with skilled craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
Our second-generation representative, Fujimori, grew up in this very workshop, watching the dedication and quiet determination of the artisans at work. After gaining experience in Italy, he came to a powerful realization: beyond the joy of owning a finished piece, there is a unique and irreplaceable value in the process itself—when customers step into a professional studio, light the torch with their own hands, and shape the metal into something truly personal.
An Authentic “Making” Experience, Backed by Master Craftsmanship
One reason MITUBACI TOKYO is chosen by discerning customers from across Japan is the truly authentic environment behind the experience. Guests sit at specially designed metalworking benches created for professional engraving and jewelry crafting. Using real tools, you’ll hammer and shape the metal yourself—transforming it into a ring that symbolizes your bond.
As producer, Fujimori’s vision is to transform the advanced skills of master artisans into an open, accessible crafting experience. Each guest receives one-on-one guidance from an experienced craftsperson, ensuring careful support at every step. Even if you’re new to handcrafting, you can create a ring with a level of quality that rivals top luxury brands.
Same-Day Ring Finishing for Travelers
For visitors arriving by Shinkansen or plane, having to return later or arrange shipping can be inconvenient. That’s why our workshop is designed to make the process as smooth as possible for travelers.
Because all equipment is located in our in-house studio, we can complete your ring the very same day. Even with detailed gemstone setting and precise laser engraving, your finished ring is ready to take home in just 2–3 hours.
The ring you craft together will already be shining on your finger by the time you head home that day. This unique combination of fast turnaround and the genuine satisfaction of creating something with your own hands is one of the biggest reasons couples travel from far away to visit MITUBACI TOKYO.
The Easy Charm of Sangenjaya, Where the Setagaya Line Runs
Before or after your workshop, take some time to breathe in the atmosphere of this neighborhood. At the base of the iconic Carrot Tower, you’ll see the two-car Setagaya Line gently rolling through quiet residential streets—a peaceful scene that feels worlds away from Tokyo’s busy pace. Unlike the subway, this charming street-level train moves slowly through the neighborhood, symbolizing the relaxed rhythm that defines Sangenjaya.
Sangenjaya is a place where hidden alleyway coffee stands, long-established local shops, and fresh, creative boutiques exist side by side. The “unpretentious warmth” of the neighborhood—something Fujimori deeply loves—perfectly reflects the atmosphere of our workshop.
Here, the experience goes beyond simply making a ring. Stroll through the streets, explore the neighborhood, and share a meal together. Every moment becomes part of a meaningful journey—one that lives on in the jewelry you create.
Craftsmanship in Sangenjaya: Creating Jewelry That Connects the Future
Jewelry is something you can hold in your hands, but its true value lies in the moments and memories it brings back each time you see it. Since 1970, our workshop has been dedicated to the art of jewelry making, preserving tradition while creating pieces that carry personal meaning.
From our home in Sangenjaya, we continue to craft jewelry that tells the unique stories of the people who visit us—from across Japan and around the world. Your journey to create a meaningful ring deserves a special destination. When that moment comes, our doors in Sangenjaya are always open to welcome you.
