Review for: Kyoto Kintsugi Traditional Workshop

Very fun experience! Small plates are included in the price, though you can purchase larger plates or bowls of you want too. The team spoke very good English. We bought our tickets from Klook which was simple, I would recommend using what3words to find the location though as this is easier to find this way ///debt.promises.pinch

Haru-san was extremely patient, kind, and understanding. His explanation of the ideologies of Kintsugi and Wabi Sabi, as well as the patient explanation during the process, were fantastic, and he tried making us all feel at home. 100% recommendation!

You'll need a bit of patience because there's a lot of sanding involved 😄 BUT it's totally worth it, they turn out so beautiful 🤩✨ Nice bowls are included, otherwise there are several slightly larger, lovely bowls you can purchase separately ✨

It was a lot of fun. Small plates are included. If you want something larger or bowls, you can purchase them there. We were there for 2 hours. Everything was explained and demonstrated very well. Anyone who needed help received it. 🥳

this was really fun and a unique experience. the instructors were helpful but let us be independent as well. we really enjoyed learning about the history and making our own souvenir. we did choose bowl/plate that was extra, but they had great options included in the price. I would definitely do this again!

It has been a wonderful experience. The staff has been super friendly and attentive. They explained the step-by-step process and stayed with us. Very approachable and pleasant. We enjoyed it a lot. The result is very beautiful, and the process was fantastic. It was my first time, I have no prior experience, and it was very entertaining. We enjoyed it! ARIGATO!
