This was a wonderful hands-on experience in which you learn from two masters the craft of mending broken things. You are served tea and snacks to begin, then you get to choose an antique item to repair. You are guided step by step through the process and you end up with a functional and beautiful piece of your own to take home. highly recommend even if you don't think of yourself as crafty.

While the shop is a little out of the way (about a 15 minute walk from the nearest train station), it's 100% worth it. The people working and hosting you treat you like family and teach you about Kintsugi in an easy to understand way. And yes at least one of them knows English so that's not an issue. The shop is small but homey and the activity itself is very calming. Coming from someone who is not only bad at art but actively dislikes it, I plan to do this again when I come back to Japan. It will take anywhere from 2-3 hours total so keep that in mind. If you are on the fence about this, please do it. The people are lovely and you get to create and keep a unique souvenir all while learning a little bit about the Japanese culture, well worth it.

The location was easy to miss at first, but the staff welcomed us, so we found it. The first floor is the shop, and we had our experience on the second floor. Since it was a weekday afternoon and there were few participants, we received careful and thorough instruction. While practicing, we were able to take our time with design and glass selection without feeling rushed, which made it easier.
As it was my first experience, I thought I might not be able to achieve the design I envisioned with my skills, and I made a few mistakes along the way. However, when I asked the instructor for help with corrections, they managed to cover up my errors.
There were various things that caught my attention when viewed up close, but for a first attempt, I was quite satisfied with what I created, and I would love to try it again if I have the opportunity.
場所は一瞬通り過ぎてもおかしくないくらいの所でしたけど、お店の方がお出迎えしてくれてたのでわかりました。1階がお店で2階で体験させて貰いましたが、平日の昼間で参加者が少なかった事もあり、ゆっくり丁寧に教えて貰いました。練習もそうですけど、デザインとかグラス選びも焦らされることもなくアドバイスだけ頂けてやりやすかったです。
初めての体験で自分の技術では、やっぱり思ったようなデザインにできないかもとか思いましたし、途中少し失敗もしましたが、修正を先生に頼んだら、私のミスも何とかごまかせました。
近くで見たら色々気になる所もありますが、初めてにしては結構納得できるものができたし、機会があればまたやってみたいです。

This was a great experience for crafters of all ages. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their materials, and very receptive to be asked about procedures. There's a tablet with Google Translate available on-hand to help move through any language bumps, and staff was incredibly accommodating towards all levels of Japanese proficiency. I definitely plan to bring english-only friends back here on a future trip.

Previously, I had a kiriko experience at a different shop, but it didn't go well, and I was quite disappointed. This time, I decided to take revenge and try again. Perhaps because it was a different shop, I was able to do much better than last time, and I successfully achieved my revenge, creating the best piece! ✨

Wow. There is so much to say about this experience. First, if you take the meaning and the process to heart, it is a very powerful experience. Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko are kind, patient, attentive, and thoughtful teachers, and extremely cool people in general. They give you the guidance, and you have your process. Being with others in the intimate space was also really nice. This was beautiful and healing for me. They will teach you Kintsugi but are also ushers and stewards of the incredible potential the process holds for each person. I think it could be really fun if you just want to learn the craft and eat a yummy piece of cake, but there is a LOT more there if you allow it. Amazing.

I had an experience at the same shop about a year ago. This time, I wanted to create something in a different color, so I participated again. The instructor was very attentive, but it was still quite difficult, and time flew by. I went in with the intention of making something with the same design, but I once again realized the challenges of Edo Kiriko. Nevertheless, it was a fun experience, and I would like to visit again.
一年位前に同じお店で体験をしました。今回は色違いのものをつくりたくて、再度体験しました。丁寧に教えていただきましたが、やはり難しく、時間はあっという間です。同じデザインのものをつくるつもりで意気込んでいきましたが、改めて江戸切子の難しさを実感しました。それでも楽しい経験です。また伺いたいと思います。

It was my first experience with Edo Kiriko, and although I was nervous, the instructions were very thorough, and I had a great time.
Before attempting my own glass, I was able to practice with a sample glass, choose the shape and color I liked, and select the pattern myself, making it a very fulfilling experience.
I've already started using the finished glass that I brought home yesterday, and I really love it.
I would like to participate again if I have the chance.
Thank you very much.

An incredibly calming and enlightening activity! Yoshiko and Yoshiichiro are such kind and informative teachers who offer history and culture lessons whilst teaching the ancient art of kintsugi. The entire session was built around the interests of the participants and so much information was given for us to continue the craft at home. Yoshika also kindly gave a mini tour of the workshop and showed ceramics which had been featured on an international TV documentary. I will 100% return. Thank you, Kuge Crafts!

I am delighted to write a review for the experience I had with your company. The whole experience was lots of fun, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable activity.
The guide was very helpful and made the whole process of creating plastic models enjoyable and easy to follow. They even took the time to explain the history of plastic models, which added to the experience and made it more meaningful.
I was also very impressed with how the guide interacted with my son. They were very sweet and patient with him and helped him create his own bowl of ramen. My son was thrilled with the result and was proud to show off his creation to everyone.
Overall, I had a fantastic time with your company, and I am grateful for the experience. The guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and fun activity that the whole family can enjoy.

Signed the husband up for this experience as he really enjoys ramen! He was a perfect fit for this class since the laying of the ramen noodles, and particular placement of the garnishes are more meticulous. The instructor was very thorough in explaining the materials we would be using, had an example placed next to you on the table so you understood how it would look like. The place is very neat and clean and he really cheers you along as your working on your ramen making.
