3 MUST TRY souvenirs you can make in Japan πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ #japan

Three custom souvenirs from Japan you didn’t know you needed. First, design your own perfume in Tokyo by mixing from over 35 notes. Customize the bottle, even the color, and walk away with a fragrance that’s yours. Next, make your own chopsticks. You shape, sand, and polish the wood by hand. A souvenir you will actually use every time you slurp noodles. And to go with those chopsticks, customize your own cup noodles. Decorate the cup, pick the flavor and toppings, then watch it get sealed. Instant noodles will never feel the same. Forget boring souvenirs. These are Japan. You can smell, touch, and taste.

Forget boring souvenirs…these are Japan you can make yourself (and super fun)!

After years of living in and exploring Japan, these are three of my favorite custom souvenir experiences, the ones we still talk about and use to this day.

πŸ“ Design your own perfume in Tokyo at Ann Fragrance: Blend over 30 scent notes and create a fragrance that’s completely yours.

πŸ“ Make your own chopsticks at Wood Works Kawagoe: Pick your favorite wood, then shape, sand, and polish it by hand.

πŸ“ Customize your own Cup Noodles at the Cup Noodles Museum (Yokohama or Osaka): Decorate the cup, choose the flavor and toppings, you also get to see literally every kind of Cup Noodles in the history!

If you’re planning your Japan trip and want something more memorable to bring home or just fun things to do, these are the ones to try.
