Top Kyoto Craft Classes - page 4

Wonderful experience with kids. Cute and fun and not too long of a commitment if you’re trying to fit a bunch in. Kids had a great time and I got some really fun photos to remember. Guided tour was animated and engaging. Little packed in… so if you’re claustrophobic, make other plans.

I absolutely loved this. The gentleman (and his son) taking the workshop really knew his stuff and under his patient guidance we made a beautiful piece to make a light shade. It felt very relaxing and medatitive. Learned a lot about washi paper. Great to see the short film to see how the raw material is prepared. A great use of time whilst our pieces were drying. I felt like I had been dipped in the essence of Japan culture Totally recommend

This was an excellent experience. Not only was our tour guide really knowledgeable, she handled us having our kids with us incredibly well. She was very easy to find at the train station, she was a wealth of information, and she was incredibly helpful each step of the way. We had so much fun and learned so much - I would definitely recommend this tour to families, couples, and really anyone who wants to learn more about sake!!

We absolutely loved this onigawara (traditional ridge-end tile) workshop in Kyoto, it was amazing for all ages and skill levels! From start to finish, the experience was warm, fun, and creatively inspiring. Our teacher/artisan was incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging, taking us through the process step by step so even complete beginners felt confident and excited. The hands-on instruction made every moment enjoyable and accessible. What sets this workshop apart is the unique souvenir you take home your very own piece of art that’s deeply connected to Japanese culture and history. Instead of just buying something generic, you walk away with a personal piece woven into Kyoto’s architectural tradition. Another uncommon and fantastic bonus is that your fired tile is shipped to you after the experience, something you don’t often get with pottery classes! This was one of the most memorable cultural experiences we had in Kyoto, and we highly recommend it to all visitors — families, couples, solo travelers, and art lovers alike.

This was a really fun activity to do, you get to chose your plate that you want to do kintsugi on, that is an extra cost, anything for 500yen to 4000yen. The staff will then guide you on how to do the craft. It's a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere with fellow travellers.

This is my 1st time playing and learning some very important information on Taiko Drums. I really enjoyed playing with the Taiko Drums. It also brought back memories on reading music notes for me. And in general I love Drums myself. I want to thank Michiko, Richie, and Aoi for the wonderful and educational session with the Taiko Drums. Arigato Guzaimasu for everything and the history of the Taiko Drums...what those Drums were mainly used for

Easy to find venue. The show was delightful and it wasn’t too crowded. Afterwards, my family and one other family got to learn how to use katana. We chose what we wanted to wear as traditional garb. We had plenty of time to take pictures. Highly recommend.

An amazingly fun experience, definitely a must try. My only critique would be that the directions were a bit vague and nebulous sometimes. My friends and I weren't sure if we were doing the right thing a third of the time haha. But I'd still highly recommend as it was a fun experience
