Excellent Experience

Samuel_R, Jun 2026

Amazing experience! The host and Sensei are super nice, patient, and experienced! I recommend this to anyone who is interested in having a fun and educational day.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you very much, Sam, for your kind review. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience with us and Sensei. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope your handmade pottery will be a special memory of your time in Sakura. Thank you again for joining us!

Excellent day of pottery!

Jacqueline_B, Dec 2025

I had a wonderful day on this experience. The day was well organised, demonstration and explanations were clear. I have done a little bit of pottery in the past but learned parts of hand building and making that I haven't done before. The guide and teachers were very warm and friendly and I will be really looking forward so to seeing how the pieces I made turn out once they are finished.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you very much for joining our pottery experience and for taking the time to share such a lovely review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day and found the overall flow of the experience, as well as the demonstrations and explanations, clear and easy to follow. It is especially encouraging to know that, even with prior pottery experience, you were able to gain new insights and learn new processes through this workshop. Thank you also for your kind words about our guide and instructors. Your feedback will be shared with the entire team. We hope you will enjoy seeing how your pieces turn out once they are finished. Thank you again for spending your time with us in Sakura. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another creative experience in Japan in the future. Warm regards, ORU Trip Team
