Comments from customers who visited us during their trip to Hokkaido<\/u><\/p>\n

"I chose to make a pair of rings as a memento of my trip to Hokkaido! Not only did I choose the color and shape, but I also carved and hammered the pattern to create a unique ring that is one of a kind. I engraved the date of making the ring and the Hokkaido mark on the inside of the ring. I'm very happy to have created a wonderful memento of my trip to Hokkaido!"<\/p>\n
