this was so much fun! this experience was a total highlight of our trip, and it’s soooo easy to do. I was super nervous bc I’m not very crafty, but it was so much fun!
This floral knitting wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined; I even knitted several in one go. It was a wonderful creative experience that brought me peace of mind，thanks.
This was a great experience! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful activity. It was actually quite easy so dont be afraid if you have never used a loom before. A warning to everyone that it is on the second floor and you do have to go up the steepest stairs I have ever seen in my life lol.
Such a fun and relaxing experience. The staff was so nice and helpful. The charms we made are so cute and make such a unique souvenir! We loved this experience so much!
Worth the experience! Very easy to do first time, got a souvenir that I have made and is meaningful. We got to learn abit of the history of the cotton material we were working with and write our own wishes inside.
We had a lot of fun picking out yarn colors for the omimori, and crafting them using the loom. Additional fees applies for customization (Pokémon patches), but it’s very worth it. Highly recommended to all!
An extremely unique souvenir where there are no limits to personalization. It is a lot of fun, the staff members are friendly and explain everything step by step. If you have any questions, someone is always there to help. A must-do when you are in Asakusa! :)
Loved making my own color amulet!!! Very nice clean place with great teachers! Go if you can! Worth your money!!!!
It was a really fun experience! The staff were friendly and genuinely wanted to help. Will definitely come back!
Location: The shop is easy to find, located next to Senso-ji Temple on the right side of the gate. Instructor: Excellent instruction, very friendly, speaks English very well, and takes photos for you. Activity: Fun and hands-on, you get to experience every single step seriously. Equipment: Fully equipped with a wide variety of colors to choose from.
