So fun!! Easy and fun day activity and you get a cool souvenir. The guides are very attentive and helpful.
It is very organized and the instructors are friendly and super helpful. It was an amazing craft to learn and I am going home with my favorite souvenir!
We had a great time here. I liked learning about history of kintsugi. We love it. The teacher was very friendly.
The activity was enjoyable. The instructions were easy to follow and the staff were friendly and on hand to help. There were perhaps too many people in the room doing different activities so quite noisy and busy. But on the whole I was pleased with the end result.
Anyone who wants to do a traditional craft and have fun doing it! It was great to have a souvenir that we actually made. It has more meaning .
A very unique experience! The guides are very knowledgable and explain the process very well. They explain the art of kintsugi and its roots, while allowing you to make a kintsugi piece of your own. The option is there to upgrade to more intricate plates and bowls, but the ones that come with your ticket (which is extremely affordable) are super cute too! The same place offers a chopstick making class too, so cool! I do recommend!
Great class, made a beautiful plate. Highly recommend.
Thanks Ethan!!!
Would highly recommend to everyone
Amazing experience, the instructors’s guidance was very thorough and helpful. We got to use the special urushi glue as we were walked through the traditional art of kintsugi.
Very satisfying and interesting process! The attendants are all kind and helpful. Now we have beautiful pieces we made ourselves to remind us of our Kyoto adventure!
Takes about half an hour not 1 1/2 hours... Staff are helpful. Very easy to do with a lovely momento...
Great tour. The staff spoke very good English, and the process of making the gold repaired plate was fun. Highly recommend in Gion area. Mert was a great guide and very patient.
Excellent experience! Really enjoyed the Kintsugi class. Maya and Yuzu were very helpful and supported us to repair our broken pieces. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Get to pick a small plate or can upgrade to larger plate or bowl. All employees spoke English and the instructions were extremely easy to follow. Took 90-110mins. Highly recommend.
Great!
I would highly recommend it!
Perfect thing to do in hot month of July , an indoor ancient art technique. It has a beautiful meaning to it.
Very good experience in breaking the bowl and sand it, put it back together with glue and lacquer and finally fill the crack with gold powder.
Had a fun workshop with Jeff. Hope to be able to use what we learnt at home! We enjoyed it ao much!:)
This is a great class! Even with zero experience, you will walk away with a handmade beautiful souvenir. The instructors made it easy and fun.
Great time breaking my plate and then fixing it! I loved the process and talking with the workers who are from all over the world.
We had so much fun learning about this ancient technique and hanging together bonding for a couple of hours!
It was great! The hosts were very nice! Very friendly, with a very warm atmosphere. It's great to leave with a beautiful souvenir.
