Hiiragi is located in a popular temple town called Yanesen in East Tokyo. The scenery lined with temples is atmospheric, and the area is very popular with overseas customers.

Originally, Hiiragi was a store specializing in prayer beads (informal prayer beads), a ritual tool for Japanese Buddhists. Religious rituals tend to have difficult to understand rules and a strong sense of obligation. This brand began with the desire to repurpose traditional Japanese craft techniques and deliver original and beautiful designs. Thankfully, it is now becoming a new-age staple that can be found in department stores and famous select shops.

Our store is a place where everyone can feel close, and in order for you to experience a luxurious space that can only be experienced here, we offer the ``Omamori Bracelet,'' a bracelet unique to a rosary specialty store. I made it.

We consult with a Buddhist sculptor and carve beads from zelkova trees, which are used to pray for the fulfillment of wishes and protection from evil spirits. You can make your own amulet by adding one of these and adding your favorite stone or wooden beads. The wooden beads are polished in the same place as the beads used in ritual implements, and we have a wide selection of special stones such as pearls, Itoigawa jade, and rare stones that even stone lovers can enjoy.

We always have over 50 types of beads available in our store. Once the design is decided, we will temporarily assemble it to adjust the size and make it. If there are no customers waiting in front of you, your order will be delivered within 10-15 minutes after your selection. The total experience time is approximately 1 hour. Please arrive with plenty of time so that you can take your time and make your choices.

At our store, we provide bilingual instructions on how to make beads in English, as well as explanatory cards for the beads you have selected.

Reception hours for bracelet making are Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 to 15:30. Reservations are not required as of November 2023, but if there are many requests, reservations may be required.
