All Reviews for Cultural Experiences

It was my first time in Okinawa, and I tried making a shisa for the first time. Initially, I thought I would be taught by the staff, but it turned out that the basic approach was to do it myself and ask questions whenever I was unsure, which was a bit confusing. Although I couldn't make a cute shisa, I created a pair of shisa with my friend! My original shisa became the best souvenir for myself.

初めての沖縄で、初のシーサー作りでした。当初は店員さんに教わりながら作るのかと思っていたら、基本は自分自身で、わからないところがあれば随時質問する形態で少し戸惑いました。可愛いシーサーはできませんでしたが、友達とペアのシーサー作製！オリジナルシーサーは、何よりも一番の自分土産になりました。

Experiencing it with children. The kids colored based on the sample, and it turned out to be a rich and meaningful piece of work. There are many attractions in Okinawa, but if you try to do too much, the kids will get tired. So, enjoying a leisurely stay while participating in experiences like this is also fun.

子どもと共に体験。見本を参考に子どもが色づけをしましたが、味わい深い作品に仕上がりました。沖縄観光は見どころはたくさんありますが、あれもこれもと欲張ると子どもも疲れてしまいますので、こういう体験をしながらのんびり滞在するのも楽しいです

I participated alone, but I didn't feel lonely at all; I was completely absorbed in making and painting the shisa. The staff were very kind, and even though I took about 2 hours and 30 minutes to finish my work, they waited for me until the end. It's not perfect since I made it myself, but it looks cute because I put in the effort. I'm displaying it in my room and feeling the spirit of Okinawa.

一人参加でしたが寂しさを感じず夢中になり、黙々とシーサーを作っては色塗りに励みました。スタッフの方はとても親切で、私はノロノロと2時間30分くらい居座って作業していましたが、最後まで待って下さいました。自分で作ったなので上手ではないですが、努力したシーサーだけに可愛く見えてきます。部屋に飾って沖縄を感じています。

We did everything from shaping to painting as a pair!

I was a bit anxious about how it would turn out since we did everything from shaping to painting, but it ended up being a pair of shisa that really reflects our mother-daughter style.

2人で一対を焼きから絵付けまで、やりました！

形作りから絵付けまでだったので、どうなるのか不安でしたが、なんかわたち親子らしいペアのシーサーになりました。

Since I was in Okinawa, just sightseeing was nice, but I thought it might be good to create something and have an experience, so I participated. I had previously made Ryukyu glass, but this time making a Shisa was very satisfying because I could experience everything from kneading the clay myself to coloring it! Although my creation wasn't perfect, it was great that the whole family could easily enjoy it together! The location is also close to Nago city, so it's recommended as a stopover while visiting somewhere else! I was also happy that I could take it home right away! Thank you very much!

折角の沖縄なので観るだけの観光もいいけれど、何かを作って体験してみるのも良いかも！？と思い参加しました。以前、琉球グラスも作ったことはありましたが、今回のシーサー作りは、粘土を自分で捏ねるところから、色付けまですべて体験できたので大満足でした！自分のデキはイマイチとして、家族みんなで手軽に楽しめたので良かった！場所も名護市街から近いので、何処かのついでに寄ることもできるのでオススメですね〜！その場で持ち帰ることが出来るのも嬉しい！ありがとうございました〜！

I used the service on New Year's Eve. It was stated that it would take about an hour to finish, but I got so into it that I spent almost two hours working in near silence (laughs). My husband, who is not good at crafts, also enjoyed making it, and now we have it cutely displayed at the entrance as our guardian deity☆ The baking time was only about 10 minutes, so it was great that we could take it home right away (＾▽＾). However, I was a bit worried that it might break easily since it was baked in just 10 minutes, but it has become a wonderful memory.

大晦日の日に利用させていただきました。
1時間くらいで仕上がると記載があったのですが、夢中になり2時間かけてほとんど無言の状態で作っていました（笑）
工作が苦手な旦那も楽しんで作ってくれて、今は玄関に守り神としてかわいく飾っています☆
焼き時間も10分もあればしてくれるのですぐに持ち帰りもできてよかったです（＾▽＾）ただ10分で焼き上げるのですぐに壊れてしまわないか心配ですがとってもいい思い出になりました。

We had a great time making Shisa for the first time as a parent-child activity. The staff were very kind, and we were able to create memorable moments. We are very pleased with the finished product, and my child was absolutely delighted.

初めての体験としてシーサ作りを親子ですることができ楽しめました。
お店の方がとても親切で思い出となる時間が過ごせました。
出来上がりもとても気に入っており子供もおおよろこびでした。
