Very good experience! There were 3 of us in that time slot. The instructor spoke English and French. We first received explanations about hanko before starting to make our own. We were able to choose our designs, but she also had a tablet with various kanji and katakana. A small extra fee is requested if you also want to carve the side. It was very nice, she is very attentive, I had a great time.
instructor: We had a great time with Marija and she was super friendly and patient. She answered all of our many questions about the process. location: Only issue we had was trying to find the studio since it's labelled differently on Google Maps. experience: Overall the experience was super interesting and its such a cool personal souvenir to have.
Such a fantastic experience! The instructor was so lovely and super friendly, speaking both French and Englis, and ensured everyone felt welcome. She shared stamp history first, then regularly gave tips as to make sure we all left happy with our stamps. She even gave me a special treat for my birthday! 🎂✨🎨
Very fun and unique creative experience. Kazuki explained everything very well and gave us some great design ideas which helped a lot. The process was well explained and we managed it well. The extra side carving experience was also lovely. Loved the experience and we got a creative Japanese memory and souvenir to take back with us
We had such a fun time making our own stamps! The experience was really unique and a nice change from the usual sightseeing. Everything was explained clearly, and it was fun getting creative and making something personal to take home. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Definitely a lovely little activity and a great souvenir from our trip! We also learned a bit about the history of Kanji and Stamps in Japan.
What a fun way to experience Osaka! I loved learning about the history behind stamps in Japan and the materials we were going to use before being guided through the carving process. The instructor was kind and knowledgeable and helped give me some ideas and options for what I could carve. All the materials were ready to go so I could just sit down and start! I love having a souvenir I made to take home with me.
The Stamp Making Experience was fantastic! Gwen was very friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. She gave us a brief history lesson about Hanko, which was interesting and highlighted the cultural significance of what we were about to craft. With her guidance, we translated our names into kanji and carved them into our soapstone blocks. We had a fabulous time and absolutely love our unique souvenirs! No experience is required.
didn’t know what I was expecting when I signed up but it was a lot of fun. first you learned the history of having a personal stamp , then you got to find your name in Japanese kanji and then you practice before you carve it into the stone. it was very easy to do and nice little souvenir that’s similar to what people in Japan use.
incredible process and Kazuki was incredibly helpful during the entire process and helped out any time we needed! it was a lot of fun for me and my girlfriend to do and this will for sure sit as a highlight for our trip!
This was such a fun experience and it was totally beginners friendly! The staff is with you every step of the way, you never feel like you don't have support. They are super patient and friendly. Totally recommend this experience if you are in the Osaka area!
