  2. BEYOND EXPECTATIONS
    Reviewed by: MonP, 2025/06/05
    I can't even begin to describe how well thought out and amazing this tour was. I got to see hidden things and fit so much in one day without missing out on the important things. My tour guide was the best and the highlight of my experience. He changed some things to suit my taste but thankfully we were both Zoro fans. It was truly beyond my expectations.
  3. Perfect for the trip to the ocean!

    It was the best experience we had during Okinawa trip. We were lucky and on the selected day there was only us 2 who was diving. Instructions were very clear and there was no language barrier. We booked 2 dives and it was perfect choice, as during 1st one you can feel nervous but during the 2nd dive it should be much easier. Instructor was leading the way trough the water and it was easy to follo...more

    This kintsugi class was one of the first things we did in Japan, and yet it was one of our favorite activities over our two-week trip! Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are welcoming, patient, knowledgable and talented instructors. We learned about the art of kintsugi and its history, snacked on delicious tea and snacks, and were guided through producing lovely pieces that we'll enjoy for years to come. Fu...more

    From waterfalls, the great cedar trees, beaches and the scenic drive around Yakushima, the full day tour was very enjoyable and informative.

  6. The BEST thing we did in Tokyo

    This was a fantastic experience. The owner and her husband made us feel very welcome and provided excellent tuition. The tea and sweet treats were delicious. It was very clear that they were exceptionally talented, and the craftsmanship on display was incredible! We feel very inspired to continue Kintsugi at home and plan on breaking many plates!
  7. Great trip
    Reviewed by: Monique , 2025/04/23
    We had a lot of free time to spend in the villages. The guide and driver were both very experienced and well organized. We loved the lunch in an traditional restaurant in a very small village. ( Only 9 houses). We can highly recommend this trip!
  8. Fantastic, favorite event!

    Highly recommend. This was our favorite part of a great trip! Toshie is a wonderful teacher and she has set up this easy-going experience so that it's fun and accessible for everyone. Absolutely worth the price! Our group was two couples, it was just us; I think she extended the time because she saw we were having fun. Skill and language are no barriers, she has pictures, labels, and experience...more
  9. Really cool Experience
    Reviewed by: Tara, 2025/04/22
    Let me start by saying this art form is so cool and everywhere in Japan. And make no mistake, this is an art studio that has been passed down for generations. We had a great time and learned a lot of new things, immersing ourselves in this unique art form with wonderful teachers. Highly recommend.

  10. Don't miss this experience while you're in Tokyo
    Reviewed by: Zane, 2025/04/13
    From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. It's an intimate, private class inside the artist's studio. The instructor provided information on the history of kintsugi and carefully guided us through each step of the process with ample detail. A list of all the tools and materials used in the class are provided in a list as well (make sure to go to Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku to get them your...more
