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 :)

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! :)

We loved our visit to Kuge Crafts! The hosts were super lovely, enthusiastic to share their craft with us, willing to answer questions, and provided lots of beautiful examples of kintsugi to guide our creation process. If you go for a 1-day class, you will only have time to repair small chips in cups, rather than full cracks, as these take time to dry. You will have plenty of time to paint your piece, however, with gold accents!

We ended our trip here and it was the most relaxing, yet rich experience. The art of Kintsugi is extraordinary and absolutely points me back to my faith and how my broken pieces don’t discount me from the love of Christ. I thought I knew most of the process, but the time spent went deeper than my current knowledge and enhanced my love for the art form even more! It’s a must if you are in Tokyo, or even if you aren’t, make the trip.
Schedule your trip around time you may spend in Sensoji area since it isn’t far from there.

Along Kokusai Street, you can experience Ryukyu glass right in the heart of Naha, making it a great option for a little free time or on rainy days.
While there aren't many shapes and colors to choose from, if you want a more authentic experience, other studios in Yomitan or Onna are better options.

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 doing this for many years and it's easy to learn from her and incredibly fun! She serves tea and snacks to enjoy and you can chat casually as you work and wait for things to dry. Plus you get an incredible, one-of-a-kind souvenir/gift/memento out of it! (Which she packages securely for you to travel without worry of damaging it.)
As a tourist who doesn't speak Japanese, this was the activity that left me feeling the closest connection to the culture.
At the end of the class I wish I had some small gift to give back to our teacher.

The staff worked efficiently, so I was able to go with the flow and it was a quick experience. Since it's a one-on-one session lasting about 10 minutes per person, it's better to consider the total time as 10 minutes multiplied by the number of participants when joining with a group.
You can choose the color and shape of the glass, whether or not to include a dot pattern, and whether or not to add cracks.
The finished piece turned out to be larger and thicker than I imagined! I had wanted a Ryukyu glass vase before going to Okinawa, and being able to make it myself turned out to be a wonderful memory that I can cherish.
スタッフさんが手際よくサクサク進めてくださるので、流れに身を任せてあっという間の体験でした。マンツーマンで1人10分という感じなので、複数人数で参加する際は10分×参加人数の所要時間と考えていた方がいいです。

My spouse and I experienced Shuri-ori for the first time. To be honest, I was a bit worried at first that it would be quite difficult and that we would struggle a lot. However, we had a very kind instructor who guided us, and all my worries disappeared in an instant (laughs). We were able to spend a very enjoyable hour. We chose the coaster course, but the patterns are so beautiful that it feels almost too precious to use. Therefore, we are thinking of buying a small frame to put it in and display it at home. Thank you very much!

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 yourself!)
Easy to find, but like others have said give yourself a little extra time just in case.

Since it was forecasted to rain, I made a reservation here in advance for an indoor experience. Fortunately, during the time we experienced it, there were no other participants besides the two of us, so we received thorough explanations. We signed up for two coasters and an optional small tote bag. First, we chose our favorite design from several options. The painting was not too difficult, so I recommend it for families with elementary school children. After the experience, it seems that we will complete the tote bag and coasters at home by ironing and washing them, so I'm looking forward to seeing the finished tote bag and coasters once we get back home. It's located along Kokusai Street, so you can also stroll and shop in the area before and after the experience, making it especially recommended on rainy days.
雨予報だったので事前に雨でも室内で体験できるこちらを予約しました。
たまたまだったのか体験した時間帯は私たち2人以外に体験する人がいなかったので丁寧に説明していただきました。

まずは何種類かある中で好きな柄を選びました。絵付けはそんなに難しくないので小学生のお子さんがいるご家族におすすめです。

We challenged ourselves as a family. Once we chose our favorite weft yarn, they taught us carefully in a one-on-one setting. It's enjoyable for everyone, from adults to elementary school students. While I was impressed by the loom system, it was a one-hour session that required mental effort, as it's easy to make mistakes if you let your guard down.
親子でチャレンジしました。好きな横糸を選んだら丁寧にマンツーマンで教えてくれます。大人から小学生まで、誰でも楽しめます。機織り機のシステム?に感動しつつ、油断すると間違えてしまうため頭脳を使う1時間でした。
If you're someone who struggles with choosing colors, it might be a good idea to go a little earlier.
