The Art of Kintsugi: Traditional Golden Repair in Tokyo Asakusa

I visited with my kids, and it turned out to be a great family activity that everyone enjoyed. The experience was interactive, engaging, and kept both the kids and adults entertained from start to finish. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

had the best time ever! Saira, Ann, and Elijah were very friendly and accomodating. They guided and helped me throughout the whole process. I’m so happy with my artwork. This is the perfect remembrance/souvenir from Japan.

A+++!!! Would highly recommend! My friends and I had a GREAT time making our plates. We topped up to get darker coloured plates for a more prominent gold contrast and have no regrets. It was about 2000-4000 yen to top up. Elijah and Kanon were great instructors - patient and super friendly. The workshop lasted 1.5 hours and it was money well spent! The space is super comfortable and lovely. They also do chopsticks making and knives making in this studio.

This was a fun late minute activity! Carla is a lovely and knowledgeable instructor. my husband and I had a great time in this workshop. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a fun experience and a cool souvenir.

Located in a comfortable building in Asakusa, it was easy to find, and the spacious interior made the class very enjoyable. Even though I visited alone, Shirin Sensei took great care of me and was consistently kind and helpful, making my first Kintsugi experience incredibly satisfying. It was a very meaningful experience, and you can even take the plate home as a souvenir, so I highly recommend trying it! It's a great class for individuals, friends, and families alike. I highly recommend it!

one of the best experiences i had in tokyo. the instructor was patient and clear even with the language barrier, walked us through every step of repairing a real broken piece of pottery with gold. the concept of kintsugi is beautiful on its own but actually doing it with your hands makes it hit differently. cozy studio, everything provided, about 1 hour which felt just right. came out with a piece i’m genuinely proud of and will actually keep. would 100% recommend especially for solo travellers, it’s meditative and you leave with something really meaningful

Today, I had a wonderful experience learning about kintsugi. Thanks to April, whose kindness and expertise in the art made the session enjoyable. She demonstrated some excellent techniques, and I truly appreciated the entire process and experience! definitely worth a visit if you want to experience some arts and culture during your trip!

There is beauty in imperfections... April and Denise showed us this through this old Japanese art. they explained the history of it and guided us through every step. Super sweet and super kind and I would recommend coming back. When putting location in Google maps be sure to put the whole name of the location or it'll take you to the area but not the exact building.

It was a wonderful experience. Both Rio and Hana (our instructors) were very attentive to us. The pieces turned out great and are going to be such an amazing souvenir from our trip! Highly recommend it.

The workshop was great. Everything was explained very well, even in English. First, you choose a piece of pottery. Depending on the pottery you select, it might cost a bit more. However, there are also pieces of pottery already included in the price. They were very patient and took their time to explain everything. ☺️ It was a wonderful experience, and I can only recommend it! ☺️
