江戸切子体験 十数種のグラスと数十もの柄サンプルから選べる 講座付きのプランもあり<浅草駅 徒歩3分!創吉浅草店>

It was difficult since it was my first time, but the fun won out! 初めてで難しかったけど、楽しみのが勝った!

Reviewed by: WAKANA

I was drawn to the phrase "Edo Kiriko original glass-making experience" and participated with my sister. There were additional fees for glasses depending on their size and color, but there were various beautiful colors available, not just transparent ones. Before we started carving, there was an explanation of the carving techniques, and of course, we were able to practice by actually carving the glass. The staff provided advice on how to make my carving look even better, which was very helpful. Since it was my first time, I can't say my results were particularly good, but there were a few patterns that I felt I did quite well, so I was pleased.

・"江戸切子のオリジナルグラス制作体験"という言葉に惹かれて姉と二人、参加させていただきました。
グラスも、大きさや色等によって別途料金がかかるものもありましたが、透明な物だけでなく、色々な色があってどれも綺麗でした。
彫る前には、彫り方等の説明があり、勿論ガラスを実際に練習で削ってみることも出来ました。
スタッフの方が自分が彫ったものに対して、こうするともっと綺麗に出来ますよ、等アドバイスをくださるので、とてもわかりやすかったです。
さすがに初めてだったので、出来はあまり良いものとは言えない見た目になってしまいましたが、何ヵ所か、まだ上手く出来た気がする柄もあるので、良かったです。

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Easy and fun!

Reviewed by: Malie808

My 11yo son made the curry...and it looked so real! The steps were easy enough for him to do on his own. The couple doing the lessons were so nice and patient. We don't speak Japanese, so he tried his best to explain what he could in English. He also used a Pocket Talk to translate. We wish we could have gone back another day to do it again!

A valuable opportunity to experience traditional culture. 伝統文化を体験できる貴重な機会

Reviewed by: らっぴ

I came across this tour while looking for something to participate in during the New Year holidays. You can choose your favorite shape from various glasses and engrave your desired pattern. The instructor teaches you carefully, so even as a beginner, I was able to engrave my desired dolphin and oarfish (it might be good to have a specific image of your work in mind when participating). It was a great experience to engage with traditional culture, and it became a wonderful memory.

年末年始で参加できるツアーを探していたところこのツアーに出会いました。
様々なグラスから好きな形を選び、希望の柄を彫ることができます。
先生が丁寧に教えてくれる為、初めてでも希望のイルカやリュウグウノツカイを彫ることができました(参加するときには作品の具体的イメージがあるといいかも知れません)。
伝統文化を体験でき、非常にいい思い出になりました。

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Worth the trek!

Reviewed by: Wandering American

The sample workshop is tucked away in a residential neighborhood, but it was easy enough to find. We were a little worried whether the trip would be worth it as we made our way to the studio, but our fears were laid to rest when we were greeted enthusiastically by the owner who really made the experience priceless. My kids loved learning about how the samples are made and making their own. We had a blast!

For a birthday celebration 誕生祝いに

Reviewed by: あるちゃん

I invited my parents to celebrate my father's birthday. Unfortunately, the weather was not great that day, but they were delighted with the unique experience of being on a yakatabune (a traditional Japanese houseboat). The boat stopped at a viewpoint, and we enjoyed the night view. Additionally, the interaction with the people at the neighboring seats was wonderful, making it the best birthday celebration.

It was difficult, but it was fun! 難しかったけれど楽しかった!

Reviewed by: ガッチャマン

I arrived at the store about 15 minutes early for my reservation, but they kindly guided me in. First, there was a thorough explanation of the types of glasses, their characteristics (such as ease of processing), and the pricing. After that, I was able to practice quite a bit. Considering my own skill level (laughs), I think it's good to decide on the type and design of the glass. My husband and I had completely different tastes in design, which was interesting. Since there is a set production time, if you choose a design that is too intricate or detailed, you might feel rushed towards the end. Fortunately, we were able to start the production early by chance, so we managed to finish everything, including photographing the work, within the time limit. Naturally, there are many parts that aren't perfect, but the instructor will make some adjustments, which is reassuring (laughs). I'm looking forward to drinking cold beverages from this glass in the summer. It was a really great experience!^^

予約時間より15分ぐらい早くお店に着いてしまったのですが、快く案内して頂きました。最初にグラスの種類、その特性(加工しやすさなど)、料金について丁寧な説明があり、そのあと割としっかり練習させてもらえます。その時の自分の力量をふまえて(笑)、グラスの種類とデザインを決めるといいと思います。夫と自分ではデザイン性が全く違っていてその点も面白かったです。制作時間は決まっているので、あまりに細かかったり手の込んだデザインにすると、最後の方は焦ってしまうかもしれません。その点、私たちは偶然ですが早めに制作を始めさせてもらえたので、作品の撮影も含めて時間内に終えることができました。当然ですが、不出来な部分も多々ありますが、先生がある程度は手直ししてくれるので安心です(笑)夏に冷たい飲み物をこのグラスで飲むのが楽しみです。とてもいい体験ができました^^

So fun!

Reviewed by: cmmoore

We did this cruise on the last saturday in December, and had so much fun! The food was tasty, the sake and beer was abundant, and the staff was charming. The whole activity was family friendly, and we saw people with small children and grandmothers in tow. We were lucky to be in Tokyo when they had fireworks on the rainbow bridge, and it was the best fireworks I’ve ever seen! There was also a traditional entertainer on board, who engaged everyone in a couple of party games. Although we didn’t understand everything that was happening, everyone was gracious and several people in our group took part. I would highly recommend one of these cruises.

There was a mistake about the time of the reservation. I booked for 6pm and we waited for over an hour because the 6pm dinner cruise was not available. Apparently only the 7 pm dinner cruise is available on weeknights. Veltra did confirm our booking at 6 though. There was definitely a disconnect.

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

October 2018 Yakatabune Dinner Cruise - Excellent!

Reviewed by: Ryan N

We went on the Yakatabune Dinner Cruise in late October 2018. The directions to the port were clear and easy to follow. Very easy to get to via the subway (Oedo Line - Kachidoki station). I made sure I printed the Veltra voucher emailed to me. When I got to the pier, I showed the attendant the voucher and he directed us to the boat.

Once everyone boarded, they explained everything in Japanese and English (although the English was not great, it was understandable). The food served was delicious. I tried some new things I would never have ordered if I were to pick from a menu. The food kept coming, they served six types of tempura, and it was filling. All you can drink beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was good too. We had several rounds of sake.

At several locations the boat stopped for picture taking upstairs above the main eating area. It was nice that this was an option. Several people went upstairs to take in the sights during the dinner. The party I was with enjoyed ourselves and the meal, it looked like the other parties enjoyed themselves as well.

If I had the chance, I would go again and would specifically seek the Harumiya Yakatabune cruise because of the wonderful experience

  • The food was excellent, Tempura, rice, soup, and fruits were served after departure.

I wanted to create a memorable item for my wedding anniversary with my husband, so I participated in this experience. It started with choosing a glass, and there were so many options that I could select my favorite. The experience included proper practice and clear explanations, which made me feel very at ease. I had no worries about cutting my fingers while handling the blades, so I could work comfortably. The adjustments were challenging, but if anything came up, the instructor was there to help, resulting in a very satisfying finished product. Choosing a difficult design took a bit longer, but they were very attentive without rushing me, and at the end, I was able to take photos at a beautifully lit spot that looked great for Instagram. When I posted the photos on Instagram, I received many inquiries from friends asking where I did this. Given the level of satisfaction, the price is very reasonable!

主人との結婚記念日に何か思い出の品を作りたいと思い、参加させていただきました。グラス選びから始まりましたが、種類もたくさんあり、好きなものを選ぶことができました。体験は練習もきちんとあって説明もわかりやすく、とても安心できました。刃を触っても指が切れたりする心配が全くないので安心して作業を行うことができます。加減は難しいですが、何かあったら先生が手直しもしてくださるので、とても満足できる物が仕上がりました。難しい柄を選んだことで少し時間がかかってしまいましたが、急かすこともなく丁寧に対応していただけましたし、最後にインスタ映えしそうなライトアップした撮影スポットでの撮影もさせていただけました。写真をインスタに載せると、友達からどこでやったのかとたくさん聞かれました。この満足度でこの値段はとてもお安いです!

I attended a performance for the first time in June. The pre-show explanation provided an overview of the flow and the comedic moments, making it easy to get into the experience. After the show, the actors added further explanations, which deepened my understanding. There was also a photo opportunity, and during the part where the story was expressed through a traditional play, when I requested a ghost, they creatively acted it out, making for a very enjoyable time. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't that time this time. I will invite different friends to go see it again. Ten people might be difficult, though! (*^.^*)

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Yakatabune Boat Dinner

Reviewed by: Dana P

I went to this dinner with my mother and we both had an amazing time. There were several other people from overseas there and they introduced all of us and where we were from, which was sweet. I speak Japanese, but it was almost not necessary as everyone spoke English well. The MC translated pretty much everything into English so everyone could understand. Also, the Japanese locals were kind and joking around with us, so we felt completely comfortable.

The food was very good. And there was a LOT. I see some reviews saying there wasn't enough food, but if you eat all of it and have a reasonable amount of drinks, you will not leave hungry. Obviously it is a traditional Japanese meal, so be prepared to eat Japanese food!! - raw fish, fish cakes, sweet red beans, etc. If you don't like the food, of course you might leave hungry, but you're in Japan so you should try it...

The atmosphere of the evening started out calm, but then it turned into a party. There was singing, a dragon running around pretending to bite people's heads, and taking pictures with giant beer bottles. This might not make sense now, but it will. Harumiya does a great job at entertaining. I was laughing the whole time. So, if you're thinking about going to this dinner, you definitely should.
