Immerse yourself in a serene, historic tea room within a temple, embraced by nature, and craft your own omamori.
An omamori is a small traditional Japanese charm, often carried for wishes, protection, or encouragement. In this workshop, you will hand‑stitch the fabric pouch that holds the charm, creating a piece filled with your intention and quiet prayer — whether for yourself or for someone you care about.
This workshop is arranged as a private or small‑group experience. Each session is coordinated individually to match your travel plans, as the availability of the tea room varies. Please share your available dates, and I will suggest the times that work best.

Choosing your fabric from several options
