Asakusa · Candy craft
A fleeting moment. A tiny sculpture.
Amezaiku turns warm candy into intricate shapes before it hardens. At Ameshin’s Hanakawado location, a rabbit-making workshop offers a hands-on introduction to this fast-moving craft.

Try shaping a rabbit
The workshop introduces how to shape a small rabbit from candy. Working time is short once the candy leaves the heat: listen closely to the instructor and treat the process as part of the experience.
Choose the right branch
Hanakawado hosts workshops and displays, with some items available for purchase. Tokyo Solamachi is a separate shop. A shop visit and a reserved workshop are different plans.
Before you reserve
Confirm the current price, available session, age requirements and language support directly with the operator. Allow 90–120 minutes in your itinerary. The official website could not be fully accessed during our latest check, so we have not presented a price as current.
