Cultural Experiences

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.

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 airpo... morert 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!

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).

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!
