This was a lot of fun. Take was a great instructor. His English was good and he was very encouraging during the whole process. It’s not easy! We came home with some super cool souvenirs that we made ourselves.

My older sons went to this and had an absolutely amazing time. This along with two other experiences were their favorite. Definitely some awesome souvenirs they were able to bring back home. Would book again in the future.

    Best workshop

    I would do this again. My son and I had a blast putting in the fine details on our masks. The gold leaf isn’t great. I found It hard to work with. But that’s probably user error. Lol would highly recommend

    Very Cool

    I had fun with the casting and refining process of making the mask! It looks quite cool! I got to pour, cut, file, shape, and gold leaf the mask.

    Great time in Kyoto

    Fantastic! Fun experience for myself, my husband and our two teen/preteen boys. We each got to choose between star and knife. Sawan, the instructor, was wonderful - she explained all of the steps and helped us when needed. Not only great experience, you go home with a beautiful souvenir! Highly recommend!!

    Great easy activity

    Had a wonderful experience making a mask with Ako! Very friendly, and the process is so easy that anyone young or old can come out with a one-of-a-kind souvenir from their time in Japan. Would recommend

    Very unique experience, the hosts were very nice and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

    Do it! Team kunai 🔪♥️

    Such great experience! My 11yr old son kept up nicely. The instructors were very helpful and friendly. We made a kunai but sat next to a couple girls making shurikan and another person was making a mask - we enjoyed watching the differing processes. It is a bit of work but nothing too strenuous. Highly recommend - such a cool souvenir!

    Loved this experience!

    Amazing craftsmanship. They are also really funny. We could not stop laughing during the entire project. My ninja star didn’t come out perfect, the way I wanted but it was made with love. I just have to go back and make a new one. Hahah

    Best souvenir!

    Chloe_H, Aug 2025
    I joined the shuriken-making workshop and had the best time! It’s my first time making a metal item, every step was so exciting! I had no idea how to use the tools, fortunately the staffs were so sweet and patient! They taught me how to do everything step by step, helped me to make a nice ninja star(all designed by myself)! Highly recommend for a unique memory and also a perfect souvenir!
