She was very friendly and went through every step to show us how to do it.
My daughter thinks that she can fix some of chipped bowls at her home.
She is going to buy all tools need while we’re in Japan.
This was our second time booking this delightful experience—our first was last year, and we were excited to return! The location is very convenient, just a few minutes’ walk from the nearest train station, and easy to find.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Although the owner doesn’t speak much English, he went out of his way to communicate and make us feel welcome. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and guided us patiently through each step of the sundae-making process.
We could each choose up to five silicone food samples to decorate our sundae. First, we picked the color of the sundae base and then created it under the owner's guidance. After that, we learned how to twirl the sundae, which was really fun, before moving on to the decorating part.
The finished sundaes looked adorable—so realistic and yummy-looking! It was a really fun and hands-on activity, perfect for all ages. We had a great time and made some sweet memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and creative experience in Japan
press the silicone firmly when twirling to get the best shape.
The bus tour was a great way to explore two UNESCO villages even on a very rainy day. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny giving us tips along the way in both Japanese and English.
We were a small group of just about 15 people on a bus for about 27. The bus was very comfy. The time we had to explore on our own was sufficient. The lunch was very yummy and served traditional style.
Don't miss the 10-min. washi paper making in Ainokura Village (Gokayama) and go to the view point.
He gave us the right amount of tips to me and my family as a first time diver and tailored the second dive based on what we wanted. Standup guy in my book.
Provide bit more explanation on where to park and getting to the meetup spot.
Our driver was punctual, professional and courteous.
This is a must stop for anyone who desires an authentic Tokyo experience. The hosts are not only talented but so welcoming. Where else would you get homemade cake and 40 years of artistic expression? This is not an experience my family will soon forget.
It’s a little off the beaten path so make sure you leave enough time to get there.
We had a great time at the kitsugi workshop where we not only learned exactly how to use the tools and create the art but also where we can get supplies to apply our learnings at home.
Wholeheartedly recommend to take 3 hours out of your time in Tokyo to do this.
The kintsugi workshop with Yoshiko and Yochiichiro was one of the top highlights of our trip to Japan. They were so warm, kind and welcoming.
Had the best time on our tour. Our guide Ken was fabulous. He took us everywhere we wanted to go which included the Meiji Shrine, Sensoji Temple, and Shibuya crossing. When we departed our ship Ken was there to greet us. He and the driver were very professional. My only regret is that we didn't have more time before we had to go to the airport to catch our flight home.
Our family booked 2 sessions of workshop here, the first to make a parfait, ramen and curry rice, and the second to make 2 tempura sets. We went immediately when we touched down and as there were some delays at the airport and it was raining when we were traveling to the workshop, we were late and the owner of the workshop, Ito san, was standing outside looking worried and waiting for us. When he saw us, he warmly welcomed us and was patient with us whilst we settled down. Ito san was extremely patient and kind when teaching us how to make the various display food, especially with my daughter was so still young and so needed more time/strength to compete the display food. He patiently explained to us the different materials used and also made sure our end products were of high quality, adding on more materials as and when needed. In the end we exceeded our allocated time of 2hours but not once were we rushed at all. Ito san’s sincerity and skills shined throughout our workshops. I also heard the other facilitators teaching and they were patient as well. I would highly recommend the workshops here and thank you so much Ito san for such a memorable experience!
You can book back to back sessions if you would also like to make the tempura sets.
We had a wonderful time making our wax & PVC ramen at this workshop. It was fun and engaging and we highly recommend it!
The thrill of repairing an Edo period piece of pottery is indescribable. Yoshiko Kuge gently guided us through the process (after welcoming us with a pasty and tea).
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.
Please don't change anything. Everything was perfect.
The workshop is great, we learned a lot of things. It was my second time coming after 2018 and it is still wonderful. Thanks !
We had a lot of fun and would recommend to everyone!
Tour guides were very informative………………………………………..
The workshop facilitator was pleasant and dedicated. All the information was provided to continue the practice of kintsugi. I enjoyed it very much, as I like meticulous work. I strongly recommend it.
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 follow and I felt safe because of it.
We even could see a Turtle underwater! So everything was perfect.
Don’t forget to take towel for your wet hair!
This was such a wonderful experience! Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were so kind and informative. They taught us about the entire kintsugi process and its history. They also gave us all the information we needed to fix our own ceramics when we get home. If you want an unforgettable experience and a one of a kind souvenir, don’t miss Kuge Crafts! The snacks were wonderful too :)
I went for my birthday and it was a nice experience. The current was a little bit strong so we went to a different area for snorkeling. It is perfect for beginners or if it’s your first time snorkeling. Staff was so nice.
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. Furthermore, we had great conversations (English is not an issue) and lots of laughs.
Very short walk from the bus stop as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro!
Ask for local food recommendations and to learn about their cat! :)
