All Reviews for Art & Crafts Workshops

Out of all of the activities we have done in Japan, this has turned to be the best one we have done! The owners are a married couple and both have been so nice and sweet. The whole activity is very immersive and we didn't notice that 2 hours have went by so fast! They also served us sweets and tea before starting and they were all so delicious! I even had 5 refills of the tea.

On our next trip to Japan, we will for sure come by again to see you!

Thank you very much for taking part in making our trip unforgetful.

With lots of love from your first Cyprus visitors. :)

I experienced this on the day of the typhoon, but fortunately, we were able to avoid the heavy rain, so after moving to the store, I was able to participate without any issues. The instructor's sister taught us with great care. I was grateful for the precise guidance on how to carve patterns that I find difficult and on areas for improvement. I could practice while preparing for the main event, and I was also taught difficult and stylish designs.

The instructor praised us very well, which kept my motivation high and allowed me to focus. Unfortunately, I carved too much and made a hole in my glass, but they suggested trying again. (I had to give up due to time constraints.) My wife, who participated with me, finished her piece properly, so I believe that with a little caution, anyone can create something well.

Although I made a hole, I still completed it, so I plan to use it as a cactus pot. However, I feel frustrated, so I want to try again. I think anyone who enjoys crafting will have a great time.

台風直撃日に体験しましたが、幸い土砂降りのタイミングから外れていた為、お店に移動後、問題なく体験できました。先生のお姉さんに丁寧に教えて頂けます。自分の苦手な模様の削り方や、改善ポイントなども的確に指導して頂けるが有難かったです。練習しながら本番に挑めますし、難しい図案や格好良い図案なども教えて頂けます。
とても上手に褒めてくださるので、モチベーションも下がらず、集中して挑めます。残念ながら私は削りすぎてグラスに穴を開けてしまいましたが、もう一つやってみますかとご提案して下さいました。（時間の都合で諦めました）一緒に体験した妻はキチンと仕上げていましたので、無茶しなければ上手に作ることが出来ると思います。
穴は空きましたが、完成はしたので、サボテン鉢にでも活用しようと思います。が、悔しいのでリベンジしようと思います。ものづくりが好きな方はとても楽しめると思います。

The activity was fun itself but I feel that it would have been better if we had more practice before the real thing!

Nonetheless, we enjoyed the activity.

When we think back to our class, we are still filled with the warmth, hospitality and expertise that we were able to experience.
Even though it was only just under 3 hours, we were able to get a great impression of the art of Kintsugi.
Our self-repaired cups, about which we received interesting historical information, will be one of the most precious memories of our trip to Japan.
Thank you very much!

Such a fun activity with my 16 year old daughter. We went to the studio and were pleasantly surprised to find out if was a personal lesson for just the two of us! Our teacher was so lovely and you could tell how passionate she was about her craft. She explained the whole process thoroughly and helped us if we needed it on each step. The packaging so we could transport our projects back home was also amazing. I did not expect to have that done for us either! Highly recommend if you're into arts and crafts!!

Since it was my first experience, I was worried, but I was able to work with peace of mind because I was kindly taught various things. While I was working, I was able to have someone check on me, which helped a lot.

After I finished, I was able to take photos, which became a nice memory!

初めての体験ということで、心配していたのですが、親切に色々と教えてもらえたので安心して作業に取り組めました。
取り組んでいる時にも見て回ってもらえたので確認してもらいながら作業できました。

できた後には、写真ん撮ることもでき思い出になりました！

It was fun, easy, and just a really nice experience all around. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone! :)

I got lost coming from the station, but I received a phone call and was given directions. The experience was very thorough, and my 6th-grade daughter, despite being a bit clumsy, was able to finish and said she wants to do it again. I was satisfied with the results. Now that I remember the location, I want to do it again! (≧∇≦)b

駅から迷ってしまいましたが

私は満足な出来上がりでした。
今度は場所も覚えたのでまた
やりたいです(≧∇≦)b

I really enjoyed this experience. Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro were generous with their knowledge and made me feel very welcome. I would love to return to their studio to learn more kintsugi.

We had a really wonderful time creating a very unique keepsake that will always remind us of our time in Japan. Our instructor, Hiro, was excellent in explaining everything in English and he helped my sons each learn techniques to create the glass cuts they wanted for each of their designs. After we were done, we were able to photograph our completed glasses in a way that made them look so professional. We highly recommend this activity - especially for those in high school and above.

We had a lovely time with the staff. They were patient, helpful and very kind.

The quality of the product was very good.

A top experience in our visit to Tokyo. 2 hours hands on experience in making art out of damaged pottery led by an experienced and entertaining couple. A throughly enjoyable time!

I had wanted to experience glass cutting for a long time, so I participated in this workshop. The instructor was very kind, and since there were few participants, they were accommodating with my design requests, resulting in a very satisfying finish! I would love to go back and create more. Thank you very much! 😊

ずっと切子体験したくて参加させてもらいました。
先生も優しく、参加者が少ないのもあってデザインのわがままを聞いてくださり、とても満足いく仕上がりでした！また作りに行きたいです♪
ありがとうございました(^^)

I just made my own bowl of ramen this weekend and I was helped by one of the workers, Ryou. He was so sweet!! He was able to communicate effectively in English, showed me every step with patience, rooted me on, and even offered to take photos/videos of me throughout the process. After I was finished making my bowl, it took only about 5 minutes for it to dry and I was ready to go!

They also have an area where they sell fake food goodies, and I bought myself some gyoza earrings. It was an easy, quick walk from the station. If you’re into fake food, definitely recommend!!

Yoshiichiro san and Yoshiko san were such lovely people. Clearly very passionate about their craft, they taught us the art of Kintsugi with a step by step process. They even told us where to purchase the equipment ourselves if we wanted to do this at home, which we did.

I appreciated how kind and patient they were, the 2 hour class flew by so quickly, we had so much fun!

Absolutely loved this experience and highly recommend this class.

Our family really enjoyed this fun activity. They even wrap up your creations so you can transport them home! We definitely recommend this.

A fun experience, good instruction and the location was easy to find. Nice to have something unique to take home afterwards! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an activity that allows you to be a bit creative.

We signed up to make sample tarts. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They spoke English very well and helped us every step of the way. Would definitely recommend who wants a fun experience making food samples.

This was my first time making resin art, and I was able to create it thanks to the gentle and thorough guidance I received. There were various types of boards, and it was fun to think of designs that matched the shapes of the boards. I would love to come back again.

レジンアート作りは初めて行いましたが、
優しく丁寧に教えていただき作ることができました。
ボードの種類も様々で、ボードの型に合わせてデザインを考えるのも楽しかったです。
また来たいと思います。

Thank you to our host for personal and friendly service, we love our ramen bowls!

Big thanks to Yoshikoさん who took the time to teach the technique of Kintsugi, but not only this, also the philosophy and the history way. Very great workshop while doing it and having tea and cake !
I recommend it at 200%/100 !

This experience was so enjoyable! Yoshiko and Yochiichiro were so kind and patient with us beginners. Not only learning about the craft but the history of it as well. They talked us through the entire process and helped us along the way.
This is an unmissable experience!

well organised

intimate, friendly, welcoming

thorough

excellent accompanying documentation - just need to work out how I can acquire/source cashew tree lacquer back home :-)

attention to detail re: packaging for travel home

Update Feb 2026

Hello, lucky enough to have another trip to Japan and was able to purchase small tin of Cashew Lacquer!
Please remind me what the (paint) powder was that we mixed with the lacquer to form the 'paint'. And is this the same powder that was dusted on at the end. (I have bought a small pot of gold coloured paint powder, will this do?) Thank-you

I never imagined that I could actually make Edo Kiriko, which I've wanted for so long! Moreover, thank you for teaching me kindly and patiently, and for helping me fix my mistakes. Thanks to you, I was able to create a piece that is uniquely mine!

ずっと欲しかった江戸切子をまさか自分で作れるなんて思ってもみませんでした！
しかも優しく丁寧に教えてくれて失敗した所も直してもらえてありがとうございました。
お陰で自分だけの作品を作ることが出来ました〜

This experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Delicious treats and all our supplies were laid out in the small studio. We were warmly welcomed, received interesting historic perspective, and coached on all the steps in a simple repair process. Our hosts thought of everything, shared lots of media coverage about their work, gave clear instructions, helpful samples, and demonstrations. I was able to repair a beloved piece (pre-approved by photo and email) and also purchased some antique (not broken) pieces. Brilliant set up for travelling home without marring the piece!

大好き!!! I had so much fun making the lil food sample parfait, our helper was so perfect and sweet !!! he spoke English and would tell you what the word was in japanese, it was so so cute. I loved the whole experience so much and everything they make is so cute!!! im so happy to have a lil cutie parfait to sit on my desk at home

Lovely people, wonderful skills, a genuinely old-world Japanese experience. I can’t recommend the Kintsugi experience highly enough!

After the staff's explanation and demonstration, I practiced on my own before the actual event. At first, I struggled with the pressure and how to approach the carving, making many mistakes, but gradually I was able to do it as I intended. With the staff's advice, I managed to complete my piece. It was challenging, but creating a one-of-a-kind item was very satisfying. Thank you very much.

スタッフの説明、デモンストレーションの後、自分で実際に練習してから本番に臨みました。
最初は力加減や彫る箇所の見方等、掴めず失敗ばかりでしたが、少しずつ思い通りにできるようになっていきました。
スタッフのアドバイスをいただきながら、なんとか完成することができました。
難しかったけど一点ものを作るのは満足度高いです。
ありがとうございました。

Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are wonderful instructors who we‘re very welcoming. They helped us step through step to repair our little bowls and cups. Yoshikos english is very Good and we were only Four people in total, which was Perfect and relaxing. They perfectly packed our finished goods so we could easily Transport them back to our Home Country. Also we got a Shopping List for all the stuff you need to do Kintsugi at Home, which was very practical at the Store. I highly recommend taking the class here! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your kind guidance, even though I am a beginner. The result is at level one, but I would like to try again next time to improve my level. I would like to participate again.

初心者ですが、丁寧にご指導くださりありがとうございました
出来上がりは　レベルワンですが　次回トライしてレベルをあげたいです　
又　参加したいです
