Osaka Workshops

My old coin was easily transformed into a beautiful ring! I made some wonderful memories in Osaka. I participated with my mother, as we always do, and the staff kindly taught us how to make the rings, so we were able to create truly lovely pieces. In addition to ring making, they also offer workshops for chopstick making and Kintsugi (the art of repairing pottery with gold), so I think there are many things to enjoy. The shop was newly opened, bright, and clean, located on the 8th floor of a building with great views, including the Kabuki-za theater. It was a wonderful spot. It was also conveniently located near Namba and Shinsaibashi, making it great for sightseeing. I had no idea there was such a fantastic workshop in Osaka. I highly recommend it to everyone. Next time, I'd like to try Kintsugi. The prices were also very reasonable.

we had a very fun time making the chopsticks. the instructors were so nice and helpfull . we had a great conversation while making the chopsticks. recomanded ifcyou are in the area, just stop by and join a workshop.

it’s very interesting experience how to make the chopstick. it’s alot of work.

I really enjoyed this tour and workshop, especially because Yoshie was such a lovely guide! She was sweet, cheerful and approachable, making everything feel relaxed and fun. On the walk to the museum, she pointed out the mascot manhole covers, and throughout the museum she gave interesting explanations and kept great conversation. She was also fantastic during the Cup Noodle workshop, encouraging us to take our time and taking loads of photos for us. The tour lasted ≈1hr 40 and was definitely informative and enjoyable. My only criticism would be the price. I paid €137.25 for a small-group tour for two people, which felt a little expensive for what was included. The restaurant part was more like being dropped off near the station. I think having a little more guided time at the end would validate the price (2.5hr instead of 2hr) That said, I loved having someone else take care of the navigating ahah! Yoshie even helped us check restaurant availability and order before leaving.

Painting a traditional Daruma doll in Osaka turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip. It’s such a simple idea, painting a face onto your own Daruma but it carries so much intention behind it. You set a goal, paint one eye, and then complete the other when that goal comes true. It made the whole activity feel personal, not just creative. Even without perfect language, the staff guided us so kindly through the process. There was something really calming about sitting down, focusing, and putting your own little personality into the design. No pressure for it to be perfect just yours. It ended up being more than just a souvenir. It felt like we were taking home a small piece of Japanese culture, along with a quiet reminder of our goals. Such a wholesome, grounding experience—and something we’ll actually keep and look back on.

Nice and cheap small experience and you get a cool souvenir at the end. The guidance was nice and clear with good English. Don't feel pressured to buy the prenium wood, the starting one also looks great!

Very good workshop and step by step guidance given to complete the activity right from cracking a plate to repairing the crack and making it more beautiful !! the guide was very helpful and patient with me in teaching me. thank you for the experience!!

It was ab eye opener to extract the pearl from the oyster! and the size was decent! about 6mm! made the pearl into a necklace! its really beautiful and one in the world! definitely a limited edition! worth it! highly recommend for everyone!

I was searching for something to experience in Osaka and found something that looked interesting! Mochi pounding? It was my first time, but it was so much fun. It felt like a Japanese festival, and the time (about 30 minutes) was just right for me!
