Okinawa Prefecture Experiències culturals

Kintsugi class was fun and educational! The staff was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. Studio was easy to find and very pretty. Bonus that you get to take home your piece of art! Definitely recommend!

El personal és molt amable i servicial. Malauradament, al principi el meu tub de pintura estava gairebé buit, cosa que va dificultar la pintura, però després de demanar-ho, el personal el va reomplir i va ser més fàcil. Podíem triar entre un color de vidre blau fosc o un de vermell. Una part de la pintura sortia amb més facilitat, una altra era bastant difícil. No interactues gaire amb el personal, sempre pots preguntar si necessites alguna cosa, però normalment et deixen pintar tranquil·lament.

Location: The room was nice and beautifully decorated. Activity: Very fun, used coral to paint beautiful shirts. Equipment: Good equipment, with a variety of stencils. Safety: Very safe. Instructor: Good and easy to understand.

I was recommended this experience by a nice lady in Osaka and I couldn't thank her enough. I had so much fun painting my Shisa to my liking. I just would have liked to get a bit of history about Shisas even as a printout. The staff was very nice and accommodating.

It was a unique experience. I was the only customer and was given close guidance in making the necklace. Although the staff could not really speak English, there was an instruction sheet in English and she tried her best to communicate with me. I was also served a cup of tea and cookie at the end of the workshop.

The shop is located inside Makishi Market. Take the stairs from the 1st-floor entrance to the 2nd-floor shop, and just show your reservation confirmation. You'll need to take off your shoes at the entrance and put them in a plastic bag. You'll also be given a large bag for your personal belongings (and a numbered wristband to wear). Any food or drinks should be placed separately on a small table inside the door. Please remember to keep an eye on your belongings, as I left the Chinsuko I bought at Shuri Castle in the shop and forgot to take it with me. By the time I remembered, it was the next day, and it was the shop's day off on Sunday, so I had to leave it for them (cries). This shop is very popular. I arrived on time for my reservation, and there were already at least 4 to 5 Chinese girls getting dressed or waiting in line. It took about 30 to 40 minutes for my turn. I recommend booking the earliest slot if possible to avoid waiting in line and to ensure you get to choose the outer and inner garments you want before others pick them! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Even though they were extremely busy, they patiently discussed what hairstyle you wanted and what obi (belt) style you preferred. They also helped take photos when they had a moment. The service includes hairstyling and dressing (you can choose between a kimono or Ryukyu dress), but not makeup. Two-toed socks are provided. For the Ryukyu dress, you choose the outer and inner garments separately. You change out of your own clothes in a small changing room, put on the nude-colored bodysuit provided by the shop, and then wait in line for hairstyling and dressing. You can also choose your own hair accessories. Finally, after taking all your photos and taking off the Ryukyu dress, you don't have to undo your hairstyle. The shop even gives you a small hair tie as a gift (you can choose the design). This was truly an interesting experience and highly recommended!

El disseny del pentinat és imprescindible! És l'essència de l'estil general. Les senyores us faran el pentinat amb rulls, i podreu triar l'estil que més us agradi segons les imatges de la botiga. Fins i tot si no teniu els cabells llargs, us el poden recollir de manera molt bonica!

Aquesta vegada vaig fer una sessió de fotos amb l'atractiu senyor Keiya. El fotògraf va ser molt amable i parlador. Tot i que el meu anglès és molt dolent, es va comunicar amb mi mitjançant un traductor. Aquell dia vam quedar per fer fotos a Senagajima. Després volíem anar a la platja, però justament hi havia un festival de música perquè era cap de setmana. El fotògraf em va proposar directament diverses alternatives perquè triés. La seva tècnica fotogràfica és excel·lent 👍🏻. La propera vegada que vingui a Okinawa, tornaré a contactar amb el senyor Keiya per fer una sessió!

I highly recommend this place to everyone! My plans changed, and I apologize for the inconvenience, but the aunties were so enthusiastic in helping me. Even though their English wasn't perfect, they tried their best to communicate using a translator. They were even worried my subsequent plans would be affected 😭😭. In the end, they helped me change the time. It was pouring rain that day, and they even put my shoes under the air conditioner to dry them! They were so diligent, thoughtful, and provided so much emotional support. They proactively offered to take photos for me and even gave me a small gift. I was truly and happily touched by their kindness. I hope more people get to know them 💗
