It was a great experience. I got chopsticks that I made myself, and they turned out amazing. My boyfriend chose Sonokeling wood; it's hard, but he did a great job. I liked Yakusugi; it was my favorite type of wood from the first time I saw it.

I arrived a little early and they were booming with people. it was a short wait (10 minutes) & Kamila came over, introduced herself, and walked me through the entire process. Her outgoing attitude and gentle spirit made this process beautiful for me. this has made my Japan journey worth it even more. I will always remember Kamila and this beautiful process in bringing a piece of Tokyo back with me.

Unarguably the best experience. HANDS DOWN! I hadn’t been in the experience longer than 10 minutes and I got emotional. but I also was amazed by the curation of the exhibit. you can get lost inside easily and sometimes your up becomes down. lol. The staff was amazing, polite and helpful. 10 out of 10 recommends. I want to explore them all now.

Excellent! We forgot to book 2 weeks ahead for the sunset slots (basically as soon as the tickets are out), so we had to book midday instead. Totally worth it. Klook makes the booking very easy, because the official site is in Japanese only (at least I couldnt proceed with booking in English - I dont know why). The view is amazing, you can see the immensity of Tokyo from above and even relax on sofas or net seats or the elipad on top. Great experience, definitely recommended. As usual with Japanese, security is top notch and ever so efficient. Totally worth the 16eur. See some pics with confy sofas and tables and all!

I booked this and the Kintsugi art class they offer and was so impressed. The staff were amazing and the place is amazing! My husband and I started with making chopsticks. They have a couple you can choose from that were included or you can upgrade to some other chopstick options. We went with the ones included. We worked with Umar and he was so patient and kind to explain each step of the process. For a small additional fee you can also have your name engraved in Japanese which we did! I would highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Tokyo!

There is a lot of beautiful concept art, cool statues, and even a massive 360-degree video room that feels like stepping right into Death Stranding. It was really cool to see early ideas and personal items from Hideo Kojima himself.
