Omamori Workshop

Create your own omamori—Japanese good luck charms—and discover their cultural significance.

These small yet meaningful charms are rooted in Shinto traditions and are believed to offer protection, luck, and blessings for things like health, success, and safe travels. As you craft your own omamori, you’ll learn about the symbolism behind the materials, colors, and intentions they carry. This hands-on activity is not only a fun and creative experience, but also a meaningful way to connect with Japanese culture. Take home a personalized keepsake filled with good wishes and positive energy!
