Things to do in Shijo-dori

The experience was fun for the whole family. It wasn't too difficult to shave the wood, even for my 8 yr old. We chose Sugi, Walnut, Sakura, and Purple Heart. Victor K. was very helpful, professional, and patient. He provided clear instructions and helpful hints to make the beautiful chopsticks. You can tell he truly enjoys the craft of making chopsticks. The personalized engraving was a fun extra we all loved.

Had a wonderful experience at the store! Majo was incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. She made everything easy and pleasant, and her excellent customer service truly stood out. The store was also clean, organized, and had a great selection. Highly recommended! Thank you, Majo! 💖 We love you so much 😍😍

Fantastic experience. Not only was the show incredibly entertaining but it was also very informative and educational regarding the history of Rikishi. 100% recommended.

I felt the experience in Kyoto was much more worthwhile than in Tokyo. The staff were much friendlier, so we had a really pleasant time. The only issue is that we arrived hungry, and once you're inside, you will have to follow the path all the way to the end before you can leave. The good part is we got to see everything, but we would have enjoyed it even more if we had had a snack beforehand. I used the app to learn a bit about the art, and since it wasn't crowded, we could take our time and really interact with the installations. Highly recommended!

The amusement park is not very big, but it has many different ride zones. The haunted house is very scary, and the parade is amazing—I came here just for this. Everything is totally worth it. Inside, there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, shops, and activities, so you can easily spend the whole day here. Don't forget to catch the evening Hundred Demons parade and the stage show.

We loved the class!! It was a lot of fun, our teacher Cerise was super nice, guided us, and told us the beautiful story of kintsugi. The activity includes a small white plate, but you can buy others if you prefer. The place is easy to find, pleasant, and they sell very nice kintsugi jewelry. I highly recommend it!!!

we were able to find this shop fairly easily with an A-frame sign at the entrance. The area is a shared space with a few other craft workshops as well. There’s a restroom you can use once you are up the stairs. Elvie was our instructor. She gave very good instructions and demonstrations as well as helped with some finishing touches to our chopsticks. They have several types of wood you can upgrade to ranging from 4000 to 8000 yen. There are 3 types that we got to choose from that were already included with the price. I chose the Taiwan Cypress and my brother chose Hinoki. We opted for the optional laser engraving for an additional 1000 yen and it was well worth it! Such a great experience! a lovely souvenir to take back home. I will for sure be using them!

THIS WAS FANTASTIC! Not only was it affordable but it was funny, taught us so much and allowed my husband to step back into the ring even for a few seconds! An amazing time and I will definitely be recommending this experience to my clients and followers!

It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed, from getting fitted in the kimono and having my hair styled, to the incredible tea ceremony where everything was explained, and even being able to wear the kimono to walk around the city. Highly recommended.
