All Reviews for Asakusa Tours

The staff was attentive and provided solid support for the patterns I wanted. It was a rewarding and memorable experience. I was even happier that they were considerate enough to help with the photos after completion.

スタッフさんが丁寧で、やりたい柄をしっかりサポートしてくれました。やりがいがあり思い出に残る体験になりました。完成後の撮影まで気を遣ってくれていてより嬉しかったです。

We had a lovely time at this workshop. It was very beginner friendly, and the assistant's English was fantastic. She walked us through each step, and we had ample practice opportunity before starting to on our own pieces. I would highly recommend this workshop!

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。

I participated with my daughter.
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.

娘と2人で参加させていただきました。
初めての江戸切子体験♪ドキドキでしたがご丁寧に説明してくださり、とっても楽しかったです。
自分のグラスに挑戦する前に練習用のグラスで試させていただけたり、好みのグラスの形や色を選べたり、柄も本人次第で選ぶことができ、とても充実した体験レッスンでした。

出来上がったグラス、持ち帰った昨日から早速使っています♪とても気に入りました。

また機会があったら参加したいです。

どうもありがとうございました。

At first, I was very nervous, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to do it smoothly. Although I ended up with a hole, I am satisfied with my work. I want to challenge myself with a different pattern next time.

最初はとてもビクビクやっていたけどコツをつかむとスラスラ出来るようになりました。
穴が開いてしまったけど自分としては満足
また違う柄に挑戦したいです。

It was my first experience on a traditional houseboat, which I had always dreamed of. It was a bit chilly, but it was really great. The number of passengers and the duration were just right, and I enjoyed the scenery. The tempura was amazing!

憧れの屋形船初体験でした。少し肌寒い季節でしたが、とてもよかったです。定員数も所要時間もちょうどよく、景色も楽しめました。てんぷら最高でした！

Since it was a weekday, I was able to experience it with a small group. The instruction was thorough and easy to understand. I really enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

平日だっので、少人数で体験させてもらいました。
丁寧に教えてくだっさり、わかりやすかったです。本当に楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I had a great time learning in a homely atmosphere. I was able to choose a design I wanted to create from various samples and design it in my own way while using them as references. It was really fun! I understood how cut glass is made, and I became aware of the incredible craftsmanship of the products in the store. That made me very happy as well. Lastly, I appreciated being able to take beautiful photos at the end! Thank you!!!

アットホームな雰囲気で教えてもらえて、様々な見本がある中で作ってみたい絵柄を選んで、自分なりに参考にしながらデザインさせてもらえて、とても楽しかったです。切子はこんな風に作られているんだな、というのが分かって、お店にある商品の技巧のすごさが分かるようになりました。それもとっても嬉しかったです。
最後に綺麗に写真撮影させてもらえたのもよかったです！ありがとうございました！！！

I found it more difficult than I expected, but it was a valuable experience to create patterns with my own hands. There were so many designs to choose from that it made me hesitate, which put pressure on my time. The instructor explained things clearly, so I think anyone can do it. I wish I had more time. I would like to challenge myself with colored glasses again!

思ったより難しいと感じましたが、自分の手で柄を入れていくのは貴重な体験でした。
選ぶ絵柄が豊富で迷ってしまうと
時間を圧迫してしまいました。
教えて頂く方もわかりやすく伝えてくれるので
誰でもできるかと思います。
もっと時間があればよかったです。
また色付きグラスで挑戦したいです！

I went to Asakusa with a former colleague from work. We experienced Edo Kiriko. Surprisingly, it was very difficult, and at this age, I had a great experience concentrating like this. I was moved to be able to experience the wonderfulness of Kiriko once again.

職場の元同僚と浅草へ。江戸切子体験。意外にもとても難しくて、この年でこんなに集中する事なくとても良い経験をさせていただきました。
改めて、切子の素晴らしさを体験できて感動しました。

It's a rental service that attracts many foreigners, and I was able to wear a kimono that was much cuter than I expected! The place is small, but the staff, who speak multiple languages, are friendly, and their sense of kimono dressing and hairstyles is outstanding. Overall, it was a smooth process. Also, I couldn't help but think that the kimono I wore while walking around Asakusa was the cutest! I would love to use this service again.

外国人がいっぱい来るレンタルサービスですが、思ったよりずっとかわいい着物を着るができました！場所は狭いが、多言語をしゃべるスタッフ陣の対応がフレンドリーで、着付けと髪型のセンスも抜群です。全体的にスムーズな過程でした。また、着付けしてもらった着物も、浅草の街中を歩いても、一番かわいいと自分が思ってしまいました笑。また利用したいと思います。

The entrance is somewhat hard to find, but I don't think it's a big problem since the staff is standing by. The experience was shared with another group, but the tables were separate. Due to infection control measures, I wonder if the windows are open? You can see the Sumida River from the windows, and it feels very pleasant. You practice with a practice glass before carving your own glass, so I think it's less likely to make mistakes.

若干入り口は分かりづらいですが、お店の方が立っているのでさほど問題ないと思います。
体験は他のグループの方と一緒でしたが、机は別々でした。
感染対策で開けている？窓からは隅田川も見え、とても心地がいいです。
練習用グラスで練習してから自分のグラスを削るので、失敗もしにくいと思います。

I participated in the 1:00 PM session on a weekday. It was my first time experiencing Edo Kiriko, and I had a fantastic time! There were many sample glasses on the table, and we started by choosing the shape, color, and design. The colored glasses come with an additional fee, but the basic glasses are at the same price.

The instructor carefully taught us how to carve, and afterwards, we had the opportunity to practice individually, so there’s no need to worry even if it’s your first time. They also draw guideline lines for the patterns, so you’re not creating everything completely on your own.

After this experience, I truly appreciated the incredible skills of the artisans. I realized how meticulously everything is made. That said, the glass I carved myself has its own charm, and I am very satisfied with it. I quickly bought some Hakkaisan and enjoyed delicious sake.

There were five participants, and the room was cozy, but everyone was wearing masks and seemed to be enjoying themselves. There is a shop on the first floor.

平日13:00の回に参加しました。
江戸切子は初めてでしたが、すっごく楽しかったです！机の上にたくさんのグラス(見本)が置いてあり、形や色・デザインなどを最初に選びます。カラーグラスは＋料金がかかりますが、基本グラスはお値段そのままです。
先生が丁寧に削り方をレクチャーしてくれて、その後に各自練習ができるので、初めてでも心配ありません。柄も目安になる線を引いてもらえるので、全部ひとりで作成するのではないので大丈夫です。
今回体験してみて、職人さんの技のすごさを改めて実感しました。すごく丁寧に作られているのだと思いました。とはいえ、自分で削ったグラスも味があって、私は大満足です。早速、八海山を購入して、美味しく日本酒を頂きました。
参加者は5名で、部屋はこじんまりとしていましたが、皆さんマスク着用で、それぞれ楽しんでいるように見えました。1階にお店があります。

Some locations can be difficult to find, but the thorough lectures and the emphasis on independence during the experience will undoubtedly create lasting memories. It brings me the greatest joy to have something I created remain as a cherished memory. The design is free, so surprisingly, children might come up with more creative ideas and produce masterpieces. Sightseeing isn't the only aspect of travel. I highly recommend the experience tour.

場所が見つけづらい所もありますが、
丁寧なレクチャーと、自主性を重んじた体験は、思い出に残ること間違いない。
自分の作成されたものが、思い出の物として残ることが何よりも嬉しい。
デザインは自由なので、意外にも子どもの方が発想力に翔んで傑作が出来るかも。
名所見物だけが旅行ではない。
体験ツアーオススメです。

I experienced Edo Kiriko for the first time, and since it was taught carefully in a small group, I was able to make a glass. They also allowed video recording, and there was a nice spot to take beautiful photos of the finished piece. I would love to do this again.

初めて江戸切子を体験したのですが、少人数で丁寧に教えていただいたのでグラスを作ることができました。
動画撮影などもOKとのことで、できあがったものを綺麗に撮影する場所もありました。
また体験したいです。

This is the second time I attended an Edo Kiriko glass cutting class here because I like the art very much! The Japanese teacher is very patient and fluent in English. Glass cutting is not easy, requires very stable hands and super attentive! Finally I made a very beautiful glassware. Thank you and for sure I’ll come again!

I went to an Edo Kiriko experience on February 19. It's very accessible since it's just a short walk from Asakusa Station, and the experience fee is reasonable.

Regarding the glass selection for the Edo Kiriko experience, I was told that beginners should avoid glasses with dark colors. However, I really wanted a red or blue glass, so I chose blue this time.

At first, they let me practice on a practice glass, which helped me prepare mentally before the actual work. However, depending on the pattern I chose, it took a while, and I felt rushed because I couldn't finish within the experience time. I hope they can provide a bit more time before the next participant arrives.

Even though I rushed to make the glass, I feel attached to it since it was my first creation. The result this time was the worst, so I plan to go back for a revenge attempt! Thank you very much.

2月19日に江戸切子体験に行ってきました。
浅草駅からすぐなのでアクセスも良いですし、体験料金も良心的です。
江戸切子体験のグラス選びですが、初心者は色の濃いグラスは不向きとの事です。
ですが、どうしても赤か青のグラスが欲しかったので、今回は青にしました。
最初に練習用グラスで削りの練習をやらせてくれましたので、いきなり本番ではなく、心の準備は出来ました。
ですが、選んだ柄によっては時間がかかりますので、体験時間内に終わらず焦ります。
希望としては、次の体験の方が来るまでの余裕の時間をもう少し長く設けて欲しいと思いました。
焦って作ったグラスですが、自分で初めて作ったので愛着がわきます。
今回の出来が最悪でしたので2回うちにリベンジ行きます！
ありがとうございました。

I may be clumsy, but thanks to the teacher's careful instruction, I was able to create something cute.

The room felt a bit small, but since there were four of us, it had a cozy atmosphere!

It was also great that they provided boxes and bags for takeout.

不器用な私ですが、先生が丁寧に教えていただきましたので、可愛いものが出来ました。

部屋は少し狭く感じましたが、
全員で4人でしたので、アットホームな感じでした！

持ち帰り用に箱や手提げも用意してあり、とても良かったです。

I wondered if I could do it after watching the polishing lecture, but it was enjoyable because it was taught in a friendly and fun manner. (*^^*)

研磨のレクチャーを見てできるだろうか？と思いましたが、丁寧に楽しく教えて頂いたので楽しめました(*^^*)

Great course for non Japanese speaking. I enjoyed so much with my family.

It was my first time on a yakatabune (houseboat). The guide was very kind and took a lot of photos for us. The night view was beautiful, and the food was delicious, making it a wonderful memory. Thank you!

初めての屋形船。
案内役のお兄さんがとても親切で、たくさん写真を撮って下さいました。
夜景が綺麗でお料理も美味しくて素敵な思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

The workshop is easy to locate. The instructor was very patient and encouraging. It was an eye opening experience for us and make us appreciate the difficulty and precision needed for hand made cut glass. Encourage all to give it a try, no matter the outcome.

We experienced this as a family of four, with my husband and our two daughters, who are a working adult and a high school student. It was definitely not something easy, but with the help of a kind, attentive, and fun teacher, we struggled through and managed to create something we were satisfied with. There was a booth set up for photographing our creations, and it was truly a thoughtful experience. We had a fun and memorable time.

主人と社会人・高校生の娘２人の４人家族で体験させていただきました。
やっぱりそう簡単なものではありませんでしたが、親切で丁寧で楽しい先生に助けてもらいながら、悪戦苦闘の甲斐あって、自分なりに満足なものが出来上がりました。
作品を撮影するブースが用意されていて、本当に至れり尽くせりで、楽しくて思い出深い時間を過ごさせていただきました。

It was difficult, but it was interesting to see personalities come out. Colored glasses are challenging. Next time, I want to adjust with clear glasses. I will definitely go again!

難しいけど、性格が出るのが面白かった。色付きのグラスは難しいね。
次回は透明のグラスで調整したいと思います。
必ずまた行きます！

First, I chose a glass and practiced the carving technique. After that, I selected a beginner-friendly design, sketched it out, and carved the glass. I couldn't carve as well as the sample, but I think I did quite well. Even if I made mistakes, I received advice, which allowed me to come up with my own solutions. Those who struggled with carving difficult lines had the staff help them with corrections.

The staff's explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to get started right away. There were also foreigners present, but the instructions were given in English, so anyone can participate.

This time, I used a clear glass included in the experience fee, but next time I would like to try a colored glass for an additional fee. Since the room isn't very spacious, it's better to wear a mask.

まずグラスを選び、削り方の練習をしました。その後初心者向けのデザインから選んで、下書きをしてグラスを削りました。見本のようには削れませんでしたが、結構うまくできたと思います。失敗してもアドバイスがもらえるので、自分なりに工夫してできました。難しい線を削るのに失敗した方は、スタッフの方に修正してもらってました。
スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすく、すぐできました。また、外国人もいましたが、英語で説明されていたので、どなたでも体験できます。
今回は体験料に含まれている無色透明のグラスでやりましたが、今度は有料の色付きグラスでやってみたいです。
部屋があまり広くないので、マスクは着用した方が良いです。

The instruction was very easy to understand. Even when I made mistakes, the teacher covered for me, and I was able to produce a very good piece of work.

とてもわかりやすく教えてくださいました。ミスしても先生がカバーしてくださり、とてもよい作品が仕上がりました。

I only learned of Edo Kiriko Art a few days before arriving in Japan. I was very excited to see a workshop to make your own glass.the workshop was in English and we were able to practice before making our own creations. They also have a little photo studio set up to take nice photos of your glass afterwards. Overall a very fun experience and have something unique to take home.

The teacher was very kind and taught us thoroughly. I participated with a friend. I had more fun than I imagined and was very satisfied. On the way back, we even talked about coming again together.

先生はとても丁寧に教えてくれました。友達と参加しました。想像以上に楽しめて満足でした。
帰りに友達とまた来ようねって話しまでしました。

Although the design was far from the sample, it was a fun experience that even beginners could enjoy, and it became a very memorable experience! Thank you very much! ♪

サンプルのデザインには程遠いものの、初心者でも楽しく取り組むことができて、とても思い出に残る体験になりました！ありがとうございました♪

We participated as a family, and each of us was taught carefully, allowing us to complete the project successfully. The children were able to experience one of the traditional crafts, and it seems they were able to appreciate the skill of the artisans and the importance of passing down techniques from various perspectives. We immediately started using what we made at home, and it seems to have become a favorite.

家族で参加しましたが、一人ひとりに丁寧に教えて下さり、無事に完成でしました。
子供達に伝統工芸の一つとして体験させることができ、職人さんの凄さや、技術の継承など色々な視点で感じることができたようです。
早速家に帰って使っています。お気に入りになったようです。
